The ultimate "dead teenager song" Does Duane Eddy's "The Girl On Death Row" count? It has lyrics.

Yeah, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

I'm not talking 'bout linoleum
And I don't wanna shame your wife
But there's a warm wind blowing the smells around
And I really wanna tax you tonight

Can you hum it? It doesn't count as a song unless you can hum it.

YESTERDAY
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

Wasn't "The Mouse" one of Soupy Sales songs? Music must run in his blood. His kids later recorded with Iggy Pop and David Bowie.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a good friend of mine.
Never understood a single word he said, but I helped him a-drink-a his wine. And we always had a mighty good time.
Singin' joy to the world. All the boys and girls. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea...joy to you and me.
If I were the king of the world, tell you what I'd do...

The lyrics were by Lee "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'" Hazzlewood.
If that "Eddy" song was too obscure, then how about (a non-teenage death song) Eddy Grant's:
We're gonna rock down to
Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

The worst song ever... Amen! I didn't like it when it was #1. What is it with songs like that? Then it wouldn't go away even after it fell off the charts. You'd still hear it waaaay too often for years and years and years afterward, like that stupid "Ricky don't lose that number."
I think I heard the start of Ricky again just last week (before I changed the station as quickly as humanly possible). Yuk!
To: ChemistCat
What a nothing song. Saturday nights deserved better.

Put another log on the fire Hmmm . . . Doesn't ring a bell and I'm very thankful it doesn't (Googled up the lyrics), lol!
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
Someone mentioned Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. I despise that song as much as Clinton, I swear I do.

Just a historical note:
Mark Twain wrote a hilarious story about this phenomenon involving a jingle: "Punch conductor, punch the fare, punch the ticket for the passenjare!"

Has anyone mentioned yet "I write the songs, I write the songs"?

Elvis, famously shot his TV's when he came on.
Feeeeeeeeeeeelins...
To: ChemistCat
I heard a porno version of that song once. (I swear it was against my will!) And now every time I hear that dumb song I hear the porno version overlaying it.
Drives me nuts!
And now on that note. Good night all!
I wonder how my brain can work, with all the sleep Im missing.
Sleep, my weary bones.
And Im almost scared to check my watch, and find out just how long its been
Since the last time Mr. Sand man knit the raveled sleeve of care.
I see no hope of sleeping through such bold and bloody ballads.
Sleep, my weary bones.

LOL, that's a good one. I love "IT songs" - I write my own when I get punchy.
Here's one I did when I had to logically carve a mainframe with only 128 Mb of memory into 2 systems for the Y2K project:
To be sung to the tune of "The Way We Were":
Memorryyyy
bytes the corners of my mind
Misty worries about memory
of the RAM we have
Scattered page faults
and the bytes we left behind
Bytes we paged to one another
in the RAM we had
Can it be that we have enough storage then?
Did the stats say that we would be fine?
If we had a chance to LPAR it again
tell me would we? could we?
Memoryyyy
maybe be beautiful but yet
whats too painful to configure
we simply chose to forget
So its the crashing
we will remember
whenever we remember
the RAM we had
