All right, this is a song a bar DJ used to play. I’d estimate its date around the early 70s, possibly late 60s. It was a long song and had that long, "jam rock" sound of the era (not quite prog rock). The singer sang lyrics that went of the format “I’m so ___ for those who ___,” or something like that. I think I once found out that it was actually based on a classic poem, but I seem to have lost that information.
Anyway, I originally thought this was an early Deep Purple song because I know they did stuff like this back then and the singer sounds like Rod Evans. But I haven’t heard any early DP songs that match this one and it’s the main keyboard on it is an acoustic piano, not an organ.

This one has been bugging me for quite some time. I can't remember how the song went, but I do remember parts of the video. It was about aliens (I think they were animated with claymation, or made to look like that) living in a city in a black and white world. and one of them invents glasses that lets him see in color. the only other thing I can remember is that it ends with a group of multicolor aliens riding a carousel, or something like that. Also I remember seeing it on Toonami's midnight run. Hope thats enough to go by.

This one's driving me crazy. I guess you'd probably call it alt rock, and the music video starts with the camera going through a long yellow tube before stopping at the lead singer's face. Aside from that, I remember the following details: -Lyrics contained a lot of "-tion" words. -People singing in front of a brick wall. -Guy wearing a teddy bear head and no shirt flips off the camera. -Paint?
No idea when it came out, but probably early 2000s. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

It's an alt-rock song from the late 90s, probably around 98 or 99. The verses of the song were sung through some sort of voice distortion, then the chorus was more of a traditional rock song w/no voice distortion. The lyrics in one of the verses, from what I remember, was, "..and there was a big parade/and everybody got laid/and they (something? I think grow) so fast/(something distorted)." I also remember a verse that said something about a ship coming and "it burned all the books and the Chevrolets." Then the chorus started with, "if you believe in Saturn and Mars..."
I think the song was about a spaceship coming to a town and destroying it. I really hope someone else remembers this song and I'm not just crazy! It's been bugging me for years!

I don't have all that much, I just remember a song where the lyrics were basically a series of faintly futuristic-sounding propaganda slogans, one of them being "The Beatings Will Continue until morale improves." It sticks in my mind, so it probably was a central part of the chorus, but I can't be 100% sure about that. Also, the music was some sort of industrial-sounding electronica, although my mind's a bit fuzzy on that bit too. '
Anybody got anything that might match?

I can't really remember the song's lyrics, I do slightly remember its music video. It involved someone moving through a bunch of scenarios with different clothing on. One of them involved being on the ground in a football uniform. The last scene shows him walking away from the camera's view, possibly with a girl, but I don't really remember it.

It's a music video actually, but here's what I remember:
It starts with a concert for a boy band type group, with the audience cheering and whatnot. The boy band is on stage singing, when suddenly the audience stops cheering, and looks back. Some guy shows up in a medical gown with a bald cap and starts singing the chorus of the song. The audience just stares at the guy, and the band tries to out-sing him. The guy looks at the band and starts shooting lasers from his mouth and killing the band members one by one. Eventually the guy gets back on stage and the band reappears in different costumes and they start singing again.
I know this is a long description, but the music video just kind of freaked me out and I can't remember the name of the band or the song. The video looked fairly recent, at least based on the special effects.
I remember this song that was really catchy, but I could never quite find it anywhere I looked and I could never remember the lyrics. I remember towards the end of it, the singer repeated the lyrics "Top of the town" or "Talk of the town", I couldn't quite tell behind the badass combination of instruments accompanying them. It sounded late 80's, maybe early 90's, and it was fast-paced. That's all I got.
