<Tr> <Th> Songwriter (s) </Th> <Td> Lennon--McCartney </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> George Martin </Td> </Tr> <P> "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Abbey Road . It was written by Paul McCartney, although credited to Lennon--McCartney . "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is a pop song with dark, eccentric lyrics about a medical student named Maxwell Edison who commits murders with a hammer . The lyrics are disguised by the upbeat, catchy, and rather "childlike" sound of the song . The recording sessions for the track were an acrimonious time for the Beatles, as McCartney pressured his bandmates to work at length on the song . John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were vocal in their dislike of the song . Author Ian MacDonald described it as the "single recording (that) shows why The Beatles broke up". </P> <P> The song was written in October 1968, intended for the album The Beatles, but left off because of time constraints . It was rehearsed again three months later, in January 1969, at Twickenham film studios during the Get Back sessions but would not be recorded for another six months . The film features two brief rehearsal takes compiled together showing the band's progress on the song up to that point . Lennon is shown to be participating on electric guitar despite not featuring on the recording for Abbey Road at all . Road manager and Beatles associate Mal Evans participates by providing the anvil hits . </P>
