Cold War Kids - Hair Down Download
This is one of my favorite songs by the Cold War Kids. It's off their debut album, and why it was never made a single I'll never know. The music on this album, Robbers & Cowards, is just phenomenal. Each song sounds like five songs spliced together, but it completely works. I wish their newer one was this good.
man, we were still just babies
dreaming of the sixties
man, we were still just babies
dressing up in rags with our wallets full

Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen Cover) Download
Who doesn't love this song?! This is probably the most-covered-by-teenage-girls song on youtube of all time. And it's definitely top 10 of my favorite songs of all time, so I snuck it on because of this part:
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

The Jive Five - The Girl With The Wind In Her Hair Right Click to Download
I LOVE Doowop. Granted, the lyrics for this song aren't the best, but the group dynamic of doo wop music is unparalleled in groups today. I really hope somebody brings this back soon.
The girl with the wind in her hair
She leaves me all alone
With nothing but care
What went wrong? Why did she?
I love her
I love her so

The Who - Cut My Hair Download
Classic pro-hippie song.
Why should I care
If I have to cut my hair?
I've got to move with the fashions
Or be outcast.

Pavement - Cut Your Hair Download
To counter the last song :) The closest-to-mainstream song this 90's band ever did -- if you don't know them, check them out.
Darlin don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?
I'm just a boy with a new haircut
And that's a pretty nice haircut
