Benny Lava. :D I'm sure there's a story in there somewhere...

In all seriousness, Sing for Absolution by Muse. Very pretty, not to mention with a twist ending.

Amaranth by Nightwish.
"Doctors keep their scalpels and other instruments handy, for emergencies. Keep your philosophy ready too—ready to understand heaven and earth. In everything you do, even the smallest thing, remember the chain that links them. Nothing earthly succeeds by ignoring heaven, nothing heavenly by ignoring the earth." M.A.A.A

So why exactly did the civilization send those guys to go back to Earth? You'd think they'd put up all the resources and what not to repopulate the Earth.

Hell fucking yes. That song is my current obsession, in that I listen to it about three times a day, and have been doing so for almost two weeks.

Huh. That's less than 10 condoms per person. Though, assuming an even split between gender, that's almost 20 condoms per penis, so I certainly hope that would suffice for the three weeks they're there. -Alferd Packer

This sentence is false.

Speaking of Aqua, I'd say this tells a better story. :D

I prefer the ones with an actual story as opposed to snippets of the good plastic life.

Either way, I want to have sex with her. A lot.

On a more serious note, I really like Martika - Toy Soldiers. The Eminem song that uses the chorus is good too, but the original is best.
