The title of this song came from an article in The American Rifleman, a magazine published by the National Rifle Association. It was not commonly known that this member of the band was a composer, as many people thought that he was only a lyric writer. He said of the song, “It’s sort of a history of rock ‘n’ roll.” Much of the imagery in the lyrics is about his sexual passion for his wife. Who is the writer/composer, band and title of the song?
Answer:
John Lennon – The Beatles – Happiness is a Warm Gun
