Last Christmas, during the flooding, our power went out in the middle of the night.
The mains powered smoke alarm started beeping and driving us mad, but I couldn't get to it because it was above some stairs. I tried to smash it off the ceiling with a stick, but this only knocked off the cover, which made it make a more frequent and more annoying beep. After much shouting and despair I finally managed to stuff some blu-tac in the buzzer with the stick to muffle the sound enough to get some sleep.

George's original lyrics were a lot duller than the final version.
