Short story:

The Beatles record Why Don't We Do It In The Road in EMI's Abbey Road Studios, London, England, UK, Europe. McCartney had 'composed' this brief and simplistic 'song' while in India, after seeing two monkeys copulating openly in the street.

Full article:

Paul McCartney : A male [monkey] just hopped on the back of this female and gave her one, as they say in the vernacular. Within two or three seconds he hopped off again and looked around as if to say "It wasn't me!" and she looked around as if there'd been some mild disturbance ... And I thought ... that's how simple the act of procreation is ... We have horrendous problems with it, and yet animals don't.
