Born in the U.S.A.- Bruce Springsteen
I had that one in mind last night, and then forgot it.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.
'Selfless'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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 always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Surely if you're gonna have one Costello, it's Shipbuilding. If 2, Shipbuilding and Tramp the Dirt Down. If 3, actually, Oliver's Army, Shipbuilding and Tramp the Dirt down.
And I will post, first class, one English pound to anyone who can convincingly explain what Anarchy in the UK is protesting about.

Costello didn't even write it. It's a cover of Nick Lowe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Nice! I think they have better "protest songs," though, considering that one's mostly spoken word. "A.D.D." and "War?" come to mind. But I think "Boom!" is more reactionary, and the video is very protest-y.

is more reactionary
I'm not sure that word means what you think it means

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've always loved (in a crank-up-the-volume-and-scream-the-lyrics / get-into-the-mosh-pit-when-they-play-it-live kind of way) "Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song)" by Sonic Youth:

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Surely if you're gonna have one Costello, it's Shipbuilding.
Oh yeah. I love that song.
Bob Dylan, I think my picks would be The Times They Are A-Changing and With God On Our Side. But, so many to choose from.

And now I really want to nominate George Michael's Outside.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
