UB40's, "The Earth Dies Screaming"
The Lyrics:
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding.
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Why:
Ok, the title and the lyrics are depressing but the rhythm/melody sounds joyful. Nevertheless, this song is generally very dark especially when you take into context the threat of nuclear war throughout the 80s.
