Figurative Language Help?

I need some help with figurative language, for homework. I am having a hard time finding some good examples.

I am looking for everyday examples for each of the following: similes, metaphors, oxymoron, onomatopoeias, assonances, hyperboles, personifications, euphemisms, and puns.

These examples could come from songs, poems, or just everyday examples. Some video links would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your help! :)
