OK
I could've just Shazam'd it but there's a song that I don't actually know who it is and I hear it at least once a month (at the bar) and at every wedding and it's driving me crazy. It's like indie-jump-up music that has the syncopated feel of "Last Night" by The Strokes (but I think it's older) or "Valerie" by The Zutons (but faster) and has shiny late-90s production. The key lyric is when it slips into a Robert Smith moment and the singer sings "ba ba ba ba ba-da baa ba-da-ba ba ba ba-da baaa" over e-minor into F-major

This is not an admission of enjoyment of said song it just feels ubiquitous and yet I don't know who it is btw
That sounds like it might be The Jam's 'A Town Called Malice'?

Likely 2000s techno / electro tune, man with an English accent saying something like "I'm a cog / I'm a wheel / I'm a part of the machine". I'm almost certain the tune speeds up at some point.

An 80s girlpop hit that was on heavy rotation when I was a kid, a really big track. The melody is virtually identical to the opening lines of Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me”. It’s killing me! What’s that song?

The other day I heard the original song that gets sampled at the beginning of this tune, but didn't get a chance to note it down. Anyone know?
