For me it would have to be Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower"
And when they end their earthly course, Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"
Any other good songs?

pandorasbox1914....for me it would have to be the Mahna Mahna song from the muppet show. And right at the last minute I think one of the muppets runs back just as the group go out the door and say mahna mahna one last time.
Sexy Sadie is about the Maharishi, a religious fraud. It fits.

Sexy SadieThe BeatlesSexy Sadie what have you donepandorasbox1914 forty years ago, when I was a teenage JW, I thought that Stairway to Heaven was a cryptic song referring to the Watchtower organization. I interpreted the line "Buying the stairway to heaven" as referring to their belief that you can buy salvation with works.
Those brothers I mentioned this to thought I was crazy. Guess I was.
BAD BLOOD by Neil Sedaka
It could've been me
But it was you
Who went and bit off
A little bit more
Than he could chew
You said that you had it made
But you been had
The woman no good
No how
Thinking maybe the blood is bad
Bad (bad) blood (blood)
The woman was born to lie
Makes promises she can't keep
With the wink of an eye
Bad (bad) blood (blood)
Brother, you've been deceived
It's bound to change your mind
About all you believe
From where I stand
It looks mighty strange
How you let a woman like that
Treat you like small change
I don't understand
What you're lookin' to find
The only thing bad blood do
Is mess up a good man's mind
Hear me talkin' now
Bad (bad) blood (blood)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child
Bad (bad) blood (blood)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di
Dit, dit, do-ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di
Dit, dit, do-ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di
Dit, dit, do-ron-ron
Bad blood, talking 'bout bad blood
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di
Dit, dit, do-ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di
Dit, dit, do-ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di
Dit, dit, do-ron-ron
Bad blood, here we go
Bad (bad) blood (blood)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child
Bad (bad) blood (blood)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide
The only thing good about bad blood
Is letting it slide
....or SHIP OF FOOLS by the Grateful Dead
The Ship of Fools is a ship populated by fools, all sailing, supposedly, to the Paradise of Fools. But they have no pilot, and their journey is ill-fated. It represents Jerry Garcia and his band set adrift with no clear course or leader.
