Throbbing Gristle's "Subhuman."  Though it's a bit upbeat for my taste.

"Am I insane?"

Probably, but there's a long tradition of insanity in Rock 'n Roll, so that's an asset.

Apparently the Lady was not for jumping, either.

Every time someone mentions that the PSA might not be that useful, two words come to mind: Frank Zappa.  He complained to his doctor that he wasn't feeling well for the better part of 10 years, and apparently his doctor never ran that test and told Frank that there was nothing wrong with him.  (I don't know from the account I read whether he had the "digital" test either, though.)  Anyway, by the time of his diagnosis it was much too late to really help him.

And don't forget when Nike used "Revolution" by The Beatles years ago.  Though I must say I'm actually pretty amused when people complain about rock songs being "co-opted" for commercials.  After all, the great music of western civilization gets bastardized in movies and commercials all the time and no one bats an eye.  What makes rock singers and bands such special little snowflakes?  Especially since they're usually alive to cash the checks, while poor Mozart and Ludwig van get nothing.

Anyway, getting back to Morrissey, I like "Sunday", and agree with you mostly, but would quibble that the narrator really does seem to hate that town.  I would like to believe that the ad agency guy for the NFL who picked the song knew exactly what he was doing, and was shocked when he got it past the NFL executives.

Well, I don't know if the narrator is unreliable, but I agree that the song is sung in character, and it's unlikely that Stipe shares the sentiments expressed by its narrator (though who says the object in the song is necessarily a woman?)  The point is that many people think it's a love song, and dedicate it to each other on radio shows, when in fact it's a rather nasty breakup song, sung from the POV of someone with a mean streak.

The same with "Wind Beneath My Wings."  Beautiful melody, atrocious lyrics.

And REM's "The One I Love", which most people seem to think is a love song, but boy, is it not.

Or how about "16 Military Wives", which The Decemberists actually played to the Obamas.

And since 1967mustangman mentioned The Shins, I'll use that as a pretext to list some of their lyrics, which are depressing, or darkly comic, depending on your POV.

From "Young Pilgrims":

Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
Lofty tales so tried and true and
If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
Modern thought can get the best of you.
This rather simple epitaph can save your hide, your falling mind
Fate isn't what we're up against there's no design no flaws to find
There's no design no flaws to find.
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
Know I got this side of me that
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea.

Banging rap/rock song with lyrics that are infuriating: "99 Problems" by Jay-Z.  The lyrics are by turns inane and sexist, and overall a whiny rationalization of Jay-Z's criminal past.  But it's all so danged catchy that I can reel off the entire thing from memory.

A bit off-topic: Lyrics hilariously inappropriate to context:  "Everyday Is Like Sunday" by Morrissey.  The NFL used this a couple of years ago to promote their product.  The song, despite what one might infer from the the titular chorus--that life is so great that every day is like the relaxed and soul-restoring day of Sunday--is actually about a guy walking around a dreary seaside down in England and wishing it, and him, to be annihilated.  I laughed very, very, hard when I first saw the commercial.  And then all of the times after that.

Or perhaps even worse, "Judith", by A Perfect Circle.

Reminds me of an after-school conversation I had with one of my daughters a few years ago:
Me: What did you learn in school today?
Her: We learned about meters, and, uh, some other thing that started with a "d".
Me: Oh, you mean the metric system?
Her: Yes!
Me: Well, it's very important that you learn the metric system. Do you know why?
Her: No.
Me: Because the U.S. will convert to it in 1977.

"Haidt notes that on surveys, libertarians score by far the highest on systematizing and by far the lowest on empathizing."

Marx was a libertarian? Huh.

Good point.  But is there middle way, such that subtlety is only, say, gut-punched, rather than stabbed in the neck?

Also, strangely, I'm now playing snippets from certain comedy films in my head, but a narrator is setting up each set up or punchline with descriptions like "the following is an exaggeration", "the following is facetiously offered", "the following is a sarcastic comment."  Sadly, I know people for whom this would be very helpful.

One of the hazards, that is.
