Everyone goes for "Light My Fire" first - do you guys have more interesting suggestions?
Are we looking for incendiary things, or more generally sparks of innovation/genius?
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
In keeping with my philosophy of not being ashamed of any song that I like, I suggest Katy Perry's "Firework."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know I love that song too. Ultimately, I think the lyrics don't make a lot of sense, but it is so catchy and earworms like nobody's business. I had that in my head all summer.
