The Rolling Stones', "Midnight Rambler"

I'll stick my knife right down your throat baby
And it hurts.

Perhaps the most upbeat song about a serial killer ever.

The Rolling Stones', "Paint It Black"
The Lyrics:
I see a red door and I want to paint it black,
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black.
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black.
Why:
This whole song has a Spanish/Hindu/Middle Eastern feel (with the sitar and castanets); it is a song about a lost girlfriend.

The Rolling Stones', "Sympathy For The Devil"
The Lyrics:
I shouted out 'Who killed the Kennedys?'
When after all it was you and me!
When after all it was you and me!
Why:
Pretty much all the lyrics are depressing, but this one can be especially depressing and upsetting for Americans or the Kennedy family. I guess that the tune is upbeat for the most part.
