I know this one's been done to death, but I'm trying to use Listology as a means of organizing potential mix ideas as well as for organizing my pop cultural thoughts. Any input or suggestions would be most welcome!

*Starred songs were suggested in the comment section. Thanks!

Rats, I should have remembered "Pictures of Lilly"! Thanks for the reminder, as well as the other suggestions.

How about.
My Sharona by the Knack, while arguably about Sharona herself, the rhythm suggests the singer was thinking about her in a private moment, in the comfort of his bathroom or bed.
