Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Oh, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game, mmm yeah
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mmm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mmm baby, get down
Woo hoo
Oh yeah
Get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Woo hoo
Woo hoo
Woo hoo
All right
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Oh yeah
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Oh yeah
What's my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo
Oh yeah

Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Not sure if that counts, not a chart topper but this song, if i recall correctly, was the first "minor hit" for the band later to become Creedence.
Porterville (Golliwogs/CCR)
It's been an awful long time since I've been home,
But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I don't care! I don't care!
They came and took my Dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I don't care! I don't care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo! I don't care! I don't care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that I've been runnin' ever since.
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself.
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself.
I don't care! I don't care! (x5)

Nothing will get you dead quicker than being deadly serious about yourself.
