...Sure wasn't expecting anything like this from the Beatles...
The Beatles: Maxwell's silver hammer
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube ohh oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicinem
Calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so" oh oh oh
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Do do do do do
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
P.C. Thirty-One said "We caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Do do do do do
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
Wow wow wow oh!
Do do do do do
Silver hammer Max

I think it's quite clear what kind of weapon this song would bring about, though there might be some unexpected mental complications with the song...

edit: Suuure, I ran this page through google searching for this particular song but didn't even think of looking at the first page of the song list. thanks for the note rob.... (I'm too google reliant...)

Hello, and welcome to the group!
It is a different Beatles song, yes. It's also already a power song... ("Creates a 'dancing' chrome hammer which he can direct from a distance", according to the notes Bob gave me for the "Doug's Arsenal" post.) It's good to have an easily-accessable copy of the lyrics, though.
(And don't worry about suggesting a song that already has a power. We've all done that once or twice...)

Hi, komischer Vogel! Sorry for the nearly three-week delay in greeting you, but welcome to the forums! As Rob has already noted, I've had this one in Doug's list for a while, but it's cool to see that my thought processes are not so warped that other people can't think of the same ideas.
Thanks!
