FIONA APPLE - Across the Universe
Who doesn't like Fiona Apple? Queers, that's who. I believe this song is from the soundtrack to Pleasantville. A second tier song from the third tier of the Beatles' lifespan, turned into the pinnacle of Fiona's career. Be forewarned: you will need to jerk off when listening to this song. It's like she's singing right into your ear.

I can go on like this for like 20 more songs if you people are into it.

Agreed re: the Fiona Apple one. It's amazingly jerktastic and the lyrics, if you're curious, mean 'Yes, teacher, rest in peace' in Hindi apparently. I don't know anything about the Beatles at all, really, but I believe this one was entirely a John Lennon deal. Also *I believe* the Pleasantville DVD has the music video for this as an extra, which is basically her digitally added to scenes of the rioting parts of Pleasantville - the ice cream parlor being torn apart by thugs, etc. It's incredibly eerie, her softly singing this song like a woman seductively licking a phallic lollipop just for you, while all around her a rampaging mob absolutely beats every last object in the parlor to splinters.
