Bon Jovi - Raise Your Hands

Bon Jovi's 1986 album Slippery When Wet featured many of their greatest hits, including You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, and Wanted Dead Or Alive. In total, six of the ten songs on that album, including this one, will appear on this blog sooner or later. 

Temperament that it hits on: Choleric 

Unlike several of Bon Jovi's other outlaw songs, such as Wanted Dead Or Alive, Blaze Of Glory, and The Boys Are Back In Town, Raise Your Hands tells the story from the view of the "good guy." That said, there is a lot of the choleric mentality of "I've spent so long tracking you down, I've caught you, and now I'm gonna do you in." In addition to those lyrics, this song's music is very fast and very powerful, which is how scientific types identify the behaviors typically pertaining to the choleric temperament. 

Out of all the Bon Jovi songs I've ever heard, this one probably has the best music. Wanted Dead Or Alive probably has the best lyrics, and Livin' On A Prayer is their best song overall.
