Good lists. Keep posting! Personally I await an imaginary list named "tension" or "power".

but some of theclassifications seem odd. How is "Crazy For You," for instwnce, about heartbreak? Longing for someone isn't exactly heartbreak, is it? And "One Way or Another" would fall more under obsession/stalking.

And I'd never classify "No Scrubs" as a heartbreak song!
