Metallica is good and all, but I thought I might add one of my own favorites to the mix. 

# "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin

$Lord->wont( $you->buy($me, "a Mercedes Benz") );
$my->friends->all_drive("Porsches"); $I->must(\&make_amends);
worked_hard_all( $my->lifetime ) and !(help_from($my->friends));
$Lord->wont( $you->buy($me, "a Mercedes Benz") );
 

$Lord->wont( $you->buy($me, "a color TV") );
$DialingForDollars->is_looking_for($me);
do {
    $I->wait_for("delivery")
} until (/three/ =~ each %day);
$Lord->wont( $you->buy($me, "a color TV") );
 

$Lord->wont( $you->buy($me, "a night on the town") );
$I->am_counting_on($you, $Lord); please( dont_let($me, "down") );
prove($you->love($me)) and $you->buy($me, "the nextround");
$Lord->wont( $you->buy($me, "a night on the town") );

# Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
# My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
# Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
# So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

# Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
# "Dialing For Dollars" is looking for me.
# I wait for delivery, each day until three,
# So Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

# Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
# I'm counting on you Lord, please don't let me down.
# Prove that you love me, and buy the next round.
# Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
