    The song that carries out the idea perfectly and there is no way they could have done it better.

With that being said, there's a few songs I hold dear that are that way. I hear them, and couldn't possibly imagine them being any better, no matter how much work went in to them. A couple of them for me are from The Replacements. Paul Westerberg is a genius, and his songwriting is amazing. They aren't even a band I would call "my favorite", but their songs played anytime, anywhere, are always welcomed. Living in Minnesota these songs get covered quite a bit, especially the first one I link.

The song Can't Hardly Wait for Them is simply amazing and perfect in every single way. This song also inspired the movie Can't Hardly Wait, and plays at the end credits.

Also Androgynous by The Replacements. Totally perfect, and the message of the song was ahead of it's time. But for me, I can't even really relate to the lyrics, but I LOVE the piano and the vocals.
