Was Cats in the Cradle a Chapin original? That would be his #1 if it was... I always assumed it was a Cat Stevens song.

Brick is a downer, but it is a manipulative downer. I thought your criteria was the more manipulative, the better.

As far as Ice Cube, you cannot deny a song with the line:

"Get me on the court and I'm trouble... messed around last week and got a triple-double".

Yes, that is the edited version, but still. Maybe it is just my generation.
