Tom Petty: The Waiting (1981)

One of the best song's of 1981. It later appeared on a Simpson's episode accentuating Homer's impatience with the five day waiting period to purchase a fire arm.

845. Song 2 by Blur (1997)

Rock n Roll enjoyed one last gasp in the late nineties courtesy Britpop bands like Blur. This energetic stadium anthem is their most famous composition. They called it "Song 2" after writing it because they could not agree on a title. Blur simply stuck with "Song 2" for the title. It sounds almost as if Homer Simpson helped write it...

937. Charlie Brown by The Coasters (1959)

Although Charlie Brown first appeared in 1950, this has nothing to do with the Peanuts character. The song follows the antics of a school kid that is something of a Bart Simpson. He's disrepectful and goofy, but not malicious. After getting in trouble, he wonders "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"  Lieber and Stoller wrote the #2 hit. They wrote some of music's greatest hits including "There Goes My Baby", "Hound Dog", and "Stand By Me."
