"Walls Come Tumbling Down!"
A post-Jam Paul Weller embraced soul and came up with this absolute classic. Upbeat, yes! But under the sweet female backing vocals, the organ and horns, there's a caustic anti-authority song. "Unity is powerful" indeed.

"Hero Takes a Fall"
We all have that one person in our lives whom we'd like to knock off their pedestal. That one person who you just know is getting praised a little too much for their heroism. The Bangles take on this idea in this ever-classic song off of their album All Over The Place, bringing to it charmingly cheeky lyrics and a killer guitar melody. The track will always be perfect for ringing in springtime with a dancey dose of sardonic wit.
