How about Avril Lavigne's "Complicated"? It's not my favorite song, but it is fun to listen to. The important thing here, though, is the lyrics.
Uh Huh
Life's like this
Uh Huh
Uh Huh
That's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh Huh
Uh Huh
That's the way it is
Chill out
What you yellin for?
Lay back
It's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin in your car
And you're talkin to me one-on-one
But you become
Somebody else
Round everyone else
Watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turnin into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin else
Where you are ain't where it's at you see
You're makin me
Laugh out
When you strike a pose
Take off
All your preppy clothes
You know
You're not foolin anyone
When you become
Somebody else
Round everyone else
Watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turnin into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
(no no no)
No no
(no no no)
No no
(no no no)
No no
Chill out
What you yellin for?
Lay back
It's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else
Round everyone else
Watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turnin into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
(yeah yeah)
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turnin into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
Basically, she's got this friend. Maybe a boyfriend, maybe not. They hang around together. Sometimes, generally when it's just the two of them, he acts one way. When he's in public, however, he has this entirely different persona. He dresses in these flashy outfits, poses, and generally tries to look really cool. Privately, he's a nice, sweet guy. Publically, he's this uptight extrovert. It's like he's two different people, and it's driving her nuts.
I'm not sure why, but something tells me this could maybe make a good L&C video. What do you think?
A few other random possibilities:
Duran Duran - Planet Earth
Aerosmith - Cryin', Dream On, Sweet Emotion
Beach Boys - Kokomo (I'm thinking Spencer Spencer here...)
Beatles - Help!, Nowhere Man
Madonna - The Power of Goodbye (NK)
The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You
Sophie B Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down To Sleep
U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Mysterious Ways, Until the End of the World
Weird Al - I Think I'm a Clone Now
Just some possibilities. Take 'em or leave 'em.
