I always loved how this song injects Riot Grrrl hardcore punk into an otherwise "girly pop" hit song, via the vocals, lyrics, and an obtrusively grating bassline

[VinylGuy]

yeah, that a great song

[washing machine]

That weird little cosmic sojourn after the chorus in the Byrds' "Wasn't Born to Follow" feels a little too on the nose to really count as subversive, but I like the way it works in the song for this thread.

Is DTE or DOTC the better example of their adherence to the thread concept? Or is there another? YL maybe?

YL? Seems like a weird choice. How about the intro to Betterman?

How about The Whale Song.

The popularity requirement, I think almost demands DTE.

How about the song Stupid Hoe?

I could never figure out if that was a work of genius or inconceivable stupidity.
