"This Corrosion" by Sisters of Mercy, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus, "Last of the Famous International Playboys" by Morrissey, and "Me and My Arrow" and "Think About Your Troubles" by Harry Nilsson are the ones that jumped to mind for me.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Little Green Bag" comes to mind immediately.
George Baker Selection! I was about 12 or 13 when "Paloma Blanca" came out. Between the flute on the melody and the lyrics of freedom, I was hooked on that one. Still love it, although I only hear it once in a blue moon.
Speaking of flute melodies in '70s pop songs, I heard "The Hustle" this morning. Textbook example of radio-friendly dance music.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Another one! INXS, "Never Tear Us Apart".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Lots of early Beatles.

Hec! I have a musical quest for you: find me a cover of "Season of the Witch" with female vocals. Not the Julie Driscoll one.
In a perfect world, Jill Tracy or Chelsea Wolfe would have covered it.

Do you want the Karen Elson version they used in True Blood?

Do you need MP3s or just those links?
