21. A song you like with a person's name in the title
Fehlfarben - Paul ist tot

Watch on YouTube

German post-punk isn't necessarily my area of expertise, but I heard this song on a recent trip and fell completely in love with it; that early-80s pinball arcade desperation, that dissonant guitar, that wet-asphalt-and-neon sax...
What I want to have I won't get
And what I can get I don't like

McCartney? Oh, we know McCartney. Beautiful melodies and all that, but he's all goopy love songs and bland platitudes. He never talks about anything real.

Uh huh.
