Calling all members of The Action Team: I need your assistance!

I am doing this lesson on poetry for my class. The students for their final will be putting together a poetry packet. We will first be defining many literary terms, among them: alliteration, allusion, analogy, imagery, juxtaposition, metaphor, narrative, repetition, rhyme scheme, simile, symbol, etc. (sorry if I just made your brain hurt). One part of their project is choosing a song and showing in the lyrics where some of these terms come up. I wanted to give them some examples of songs (2-3), but I am having a hell of a time coming up with songs.

Do any of you have suggestions? I know that I will probably get some non-serious responses, but I could really use your help. Pls thx!
