Feel Good Inc.-Gorillaz.
A very complex song, structurally and thematically and is extremely relevant in the modern day. It is basically an attack on the materialistic/consumerist society. It contains the word 'ephemeral' so you know it has to be awesome. Also has a killer music video and a very interesting backstory. Perfect for analysis!
