Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A-Lot In all seriousness...... look up Nick Drake, his songs are very rich.... also Fleetwood Mac, their songs tend to be very meaningful..... Black Eyed Dog by Nick Drake, 1974 is a very good, and meaningful song.
What is the paper for? I'd go with a song from a movie score if it's allowed. Like the reoccurring theme from Bridge on the River Kwai or Close Encounters.
Lateralus, if only for the Fibonacci sequence and how that fits with the overall theme of the song/album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralus_(song) http://www.fibonicci.com/fibonacci-tools-lateralus/
Come on this is easy: Bruce Springsteen-Born to Run - seriously I saw the lyrics in a literature book. Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil, You Can't Always get What You Want Beatles (John) - Revolution, Girl (a metaphor for religion) Beatles (Paul) - Blackbird - Actually about race riots of 1968 John Lennon - Working Class Hero - Personal favorite of mine for lyrics Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come Aretha Franklin - Respect Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin - Who really knows what this is about and isn't that the point. Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush - Based on the novel and film Wuthering Heights. Musically also very complicated with changing time changes throughout. Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden - about the conflict between Natives Americans and Europeans settlers told from both viewpoints. Money by Pink Floyd - Also unusual musically and well about MONEY, which in today's economy should give you plenty to write about. Strawberry Fields Forever by Beatles - More changing time signatures and many double meanings. America from West Side Story - Immigration viewpoint about USA from immigrants and also musically diverse with mixed time signature.
