"Born in the U.S.A."
"All Along the Watchtower"
What are some other ones?
(Again, I'm not talking about the vocal melody but the underlying musical structure.)
UPDATE:
Had a bunch more suggestions for this one over on Facebook.
"The Passenger" - Iggy Pop
"Natural's Not In It" - Gang of Four
"Gloria" - Them
"Everybody's Gotta Live" - Love
"Save it for Later" - The English Beat
"When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around" - The Police
"Demolition Man" - The Police
"Papa was a Rolling Stone" - The Temptations
"Failures" - Joy Division
And of course, the perfect marriage of form and content:
h/t to Mike Corwin for that one.

ReplyDeleteI was in the car in 2012 or so listening to that song thinking, "It just keeps going".
U2’s With Or Without You comes to mind.
