Definitely thought about Men at Work but gave my vote to Strangelove. I didn't know that the flute melody (which was not prominent in the original recording) was inspired by a nursery rhyme, and in 2008 an Australian quiz show linked the two. That lead to some IP vultures who had acquired the rights to the nursery tune in 1990 and apparently had no clue, suing the pants off of Men at Work. They were awarded minimal damages (they wanted 60% of the rights and all royalties going back nearly 20 years to when they acquired it) but it lead directly to the flute/sax player in the band's suicide.

Anyways, how we doing, can't be worse than that, right? I just clocked out.

Roy: "You're good!"

Mr. Slim: Justin Van Duyne has got some action on Cardwell's foul over.
