Still can't find Canadian public TV song that isn't "fool on the hill" but
this is what I remember it sounding like:

In the film Suburbia there's a horrible scratchy punk tune that directly quotes the intro to Yes' Roundabout, any ideas?

There is a song I used to hear in the playlist at my old job, it had some kind of scat vocal and it was clearly the song that satan is singing to himself as he dances around your newly arrived soul when you get to hell. Any ideas?

I strongly doubt it's what you're looking for, but just from reading that description I now have Hell by the Squirrel Nut Zippers stuck in my head.

No, it’s a wordless scat, like “dikadikadikadik-ah-ah” over and over again.

The satan thing was just what I pictured when I heard it.

Korn - Twist

Nope, it was more, sort of jazzy, I think, definitely not nu-metal. And the scat vocals, while not too far off from that, were a little more atmospheric and less intense.

I would have heard this song back in the mid-2000s but I don’t know how old it was at the time.

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?

FOUND IT, duh. Amy Grant “Baby, Baby”

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?
