"Lucky" and "Dizzy in the Daylight" by the Dead Milkmen. (The latter is the B-side to the "punk rock girl" single, and it's hard to find!)

Everything by the Cranberries.

That "Time of Your Life" song by Green Day is sort of poignant if I'm in a sappy enough mood.

Mind Playing Tricks On Me by the Geto Boys, which is otf-cited as their one great moment.

Oh, come now. I learned everything I know about being a real gangsta-ass nigga from the Geto Boys.

I love Faith No More, but I think Zombie Eaters and Surprise, You're Dead! are both pretty kitschy, even if they are unintentionally so. The former even has the line, "So hug me and kiss me/Then wipe my butt and piss me."

Frank Zappa, "Watermelon in Easter Hay"
