Song: Be-Bop Deluxe 'Maid in Heaven' (1975)

Pure pop-trash perfection. Every single f***ing line in the entire f***ing song is a hook. Lyrics leave a little (perhaps a lot) to be desired; I've (sadly) heard worse though. The music side of the thing is positively sublime. Special highlight: the drum bit at the tail end of intro. Tunewise at least, this is a stunning example of masterful songwriting and some very impressively savvy arranging.
