Happiness Is a Warm Gun is a song by the Beatles, featured on the eponymous double-disc album The Beatles, also known as the White Album, which was released on 22 November 1968. Although credited to Lennon–McCartney, it was written by John Lennon. According to Lennon, the title came from a magazine cover that producer George Martin showed him: I think he showed me a cover of a magazine that said Happiness Is a Warm Gun. It was a gun magazine. I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something. The title is one of many 1960s riffs on Charles M. Schulzs axiom that happiness is a warm puppy, which began in the Peanuts comic strip and became the title of a related book. Its my favorite Beatles album and song.
