Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is a song by The Beatles released on their 1968 album The Beatles, commonly referred to as The White Album. It was written[1][2] and sung by Paul McCartney,[3][4] but credited, as usual, to Lennon/McCartney. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is short and simple; 1:42 of twelve-bar blues that begins with three different percussion elements (a hand banging on the back of an acoustic guitar, handclaps, and drums) and features McCartney's increasingly raucous vocal[5] repeating a simple lyric with only two different lines.

On 9 October 1968, while John Lennon and George Harrison were working on two other songs for the album, McCartney recorded five takes of the song in Studio One at Abbey Road Studios. Unlike its heavy blues result,[5] the song began as an acoustic guitar number with McCartney alternating by verse between gentle and strident vocal styles.[7] On this first night, McCartney played all the instruments himself.[8] This version of the song can be found on the Beatles' Anthology 3.

On 10 October, McCartney and Ringo Starr finished the song, Starr adding drums and handclaps, McCartney adding more vocals, bass guitar, and lead guitar.[8] Lennon and Harrison were again occupied, supervising string overdubs for "Piggies" and "Glass Onion

Why does the video have absolutely nothing to do with the song? The footage is from like 1987.

Kind people don't make rude comments. You would figure the dead vids would lack the common youtube ignorant comments.

@designknob very early on in the dead's career, there was something called the joshua light show. this is similar. goes back to the late 1960's.
