Happiness Is A Warm Gun is perhaps a lesser known Beatles track but certainly not of lesser significance. This song is one of the earliest examples of episodic songwriting, an approach that would go on to be used in many iconic songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Paranoid Android etc.

At some points in this video I’ve used Ably House’s fantastic soundalike cover of Happiness Is A Warm Gun to avoid copyright issues. Check it out in full here: https://youtu.be/5UmcUrbxsfo?si=KdUsLhpTdizOGbT-
