The Beatles - Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey



You know, whenever I think of the most successful artists of all time, I tend to think of guys who were around for decades, such as Elvis Presley or Tom Petty. What people may not realize is that the Beatles were together for only about ten years. 

Temperament that it hits on: Sanguine 

I'd say that Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey (eesh, long title) is probably a sanguine song - it's upbeat, fast paced, and a bit goofy. I hope I'm not misinterpreting this song, but that's what it seems like to me. 

"Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey." 
"What monkey? Where? I don't smell no monkey." 
"Uhh..." 

The title really does it justice.

    I'm not sure of any other songs that use a fire alarm.
