What is your favourite song and what does it mean to you?

Okay, title won't let me write "one of your favourite songs" but that's the general meaning here. It can be anything, something that has been playing on your playlist on repeat, something that surprised you, something where the lyrics speak to you, the beat holds you in a trance, anything! Just tell me what, and why. If you like post some sample lyrics and a link to the song. It doesn't have to be the original, just your favourite version that speaks to you.
I'll start. One of my favourites is called "Kiss That Frog" by Peter Gabriel. I grew up listening to the music my mother and uncle listen to, and I have distinct memories of my uncle putting his old record in his record player and blasting this so it played throughout the entire house. It's a jaunty, tongue-in-cheek song where the lyrics are thinly veiled references to sex, all set to prominent harmonicas and fiddles and it just makes me want to dance every time I hear it. It has good memories attached and the song makes me happy, which is reason enough to rocket it to hovering at the top with my other favourites.
Sample Lyrics:
He's gonna dive down in the deep end
He's gonna be just like your best friend
So what's one little kiss
One tiny little touch
Aaah, he's wanting it so much
I swear that this is royal blood
Running through my skin
Oh can you see the state I'm in
Kiss it better, Kiss it better
(Kiss that frog)
