Because : No one will be watching us. :))))
"Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is a song by English rock band The Beatles released on their 1968 album The Beatles, commonly referred to as The White Album. It is written and sung by Paul McCartney, though credited to Lennon-McCartney.
The lyrics of the song consist almost entirely of the title line repeated over and over again with the exception being another line offering the assurance that the suggested activity will take place unwatched ("No one will be watching us"), sung once in each of the three verses.
"Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" is a simple twelve-bar blues song, featuring a constant hammering on the piano topped by McCartney's increasingly histrionic singing. It may be an attempt by McCartney to imitate or parody John Lennon's raw, stripped-down songs such as "Yer Blues" or "Don't Let Me Down."
Whilst staying in Rishikesh, India with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Paul is alleged to have seen two monkeys copulating in the street. After observing this, he marvelled in the simplicity of this natural scenario when compared to the emotional turmoil of human relationships.
Paul played all the instruments himself (except for the drums, performed by Ringo Starr), and recorded the song without the other Beatles. John was upset that Paul would do a song as controversial as this without him, and most likely this contributed to growing tensions within the band. It is rumored that this sparked his interest to produce Revolution 9 with Yoko.
Lennon was said to have been fond of sarcastically citing "Why Don't We Do it in the Road" as the "best song Paul ever wrote."
There is speculation that the positioning of the song is a subtle joke, providing a question and an answer with the next track, "I Will".

Not my favorite Beatles tune. Got to see the taping of the Ellen Degeneres Show when Macca was her guest for the entire hour last November.

I got run over by a milk float when I tried it. Either the pubs should shut earlier or I shouldn't be such a long stayer. Whatever, I'll stick to your Grannies grave in future.

Because some stupid bint in a 4 be 4 would probably squash your big metal head.

wether or not it's a song...i'd think that doing it in the middle of a road would be stupid, not to mention it's THE ROAD!!

That's as maybe, but why is it in the music section, like all your other questions?
