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.
Cat's in the Cradle is a Chapin original. He and his wife Sandy wrote it together. I didn't pick it becaseu I thought Taxi is more of a story.

I'll give you Brick. It works well at what it is doing.

That's a good line from Ice, but the unedited version is far too much for my old man taste, I guess.
