In the same vein, how about Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman"? Oh, and the Offspring's "Get A Job".
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'
Xander ,'Selfless'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh! Ok, whether this song fits is open to interpretation, but I think the tone is right. Plus, it's simply a phenomenal song. One of the few songs that grabbed me to the point that I still remember where I was the first time I heard it. The Whitlams, "No Aphrodisiac". [link]
(It is also one of Ryan's favourite songs, because we fail at parenting. He also likes Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", and it is quite funny to hear this incredulous voice occasionally pipe up from the back seat with "My sweetest friend?!?")

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can tell I am going to be hitting itunes a lot when I get home.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Lee, do you has the Rihanna version of Love the Way You Lie? It's slightly different.
Christina Aguilera has one called "Elastic Love" but I'm not a huge fan of the song.
James, Laid.
