Maxwell’s Silver Hammer by The Beatles – ***

First released: 1969

Fun, yet annoying track depending on your mood. I like the anvil touch, but noticing in "Let It Be" how Paul insisted that they play this over and over and over and it isn't THAT funny, makes me sympathize with the other Beatles. It ended up not on "Let It Be", but on "Abbey Road". A demo version appears on "Anthology 3" in 1996.

Steve Martin did a halfway decent and amusing cover for the "Sgt. Pepper" movie in 1978.
