Songs with literary devices. Halp.

Teacher needs me to do a Power Point presentation on a song with at least 15 literary devices, and since I don't listen to music or have any favored groups/artists I'm stumped on what to pick. I've already looked through some Beatles songs and others but they are either too short or have too much repetition. So, some help here floof? If you guys can recommend me songs other than love/rap songs that'd be swell.

  • David Bowie is pretty much purely that stuff. I'd bet you could find double what you need in this song.

    • Just one song that has 15 literary devices? Gsus. I know some artists who do this but not all in one song.
