War - Low Rider



War is a band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1969. They had many hit songs, including this one, a 1975 release. 

Temperaments that it hits on: Sanguine / Phlegmatic 

Low Rider hits on my sanguine side because they are talking about a really nice car. They do sound like they are bragging a little too, and sanguines often brag. It hits on my phlegmatic temperament because they are just so low-key, more than any other song on this blog, probably. 

War should probably be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was only one of their big hits, and they were huge in the 1970's.
