Maxwell's Silver Hammer

For the past several weeks, someone was going around the 'sitting out areas' of a couple of public housing estates on Hong Kong island and hammering old men. Hammering them hard, as it happened. In two separate incidents during daylight hours, two old geezers were badly injured. Last week, the serial hammerer struck again: a 70-year-old man sitting on a bench, taking in the morning air. Unfortunately, it was the last air the old guy took in. On Thursday, police arrested a 75-year-old retired carpenter. According to news reports, it was an affair of the heart and there was mention of a divorcee in her fifties.
Timely, eh? Lennon & McCartney's Maxwell's Silver Hammer (click on song title, that will take you to a page where you click on 'watch this movie!'). Bang, bang, clang, clang! Animation, very funny. (Flash required) Oh, the song has a page on Wikipedia, too.
