Never heard this song but I'd give it my vote for funniest lyrics.
On Jim Croce's first album 'Facets' a song written by Eric Von Schmidt

Or perhaps, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds; by William Shatner. This is also a must! I can't even find the words...

Now that's just wrong.

Black Water by the Doobie Bros.
The Rodeo Song by Showdown
 
Tough one...but it would be a tie between:

Jimi Hendrix's Tax Free
Led Zeppelin's The Immigrant Song
Tool's Parabola or Prison Sex
A Perfect Circle's Thinking of You or Orestes

First off, Iron Man is a Black Sabbath song.

Secondly, are you serious about Let it Be? How many times can you listen to that same progression over and over and over and over again and still like that song?

I'm going to have to go with Revolution 9.

Most anyone can come up with a chord progression, a melody and a rhythm; there are rules one can follow and standard exceptions to said rules one can make. There are hundreds of years of recorded music written in such a fashion to draw upon for influence, and there are songs being played all the time, constantly inundating people with knowledge of what a song sounds like. In general, the whole "song" thing has been done over and over again for hundreds and hundreds of years. While some songs are certainly better than others, they all pretty much break down the same way. But where the hell did Revolution 9 come from? It's easy enough to come up with a lead guitar part for a I IV V progression, but who thought "Alright, now we should have part of a shakespearean play right after this car horn and guy speaking backwards", and how the hell did it come out sounding so good?
 
Note that the thread title didn't specifically ask for English or even Western music. There's plenty of beautiful music out there made by different cultures. I love many Hindi and Tamil songs, for instance.

Even restricting myself to English songs, it's way difficult to choose the best songs. But I guess :

1) A Change of Seasons, Dream Theater
2) The Hollow, A Perfect Circle
3) Aenema, Tool
4) Stairway to Heaven, Led Zep
5) I wish it would rain down, Phil Collins
6) Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler
7) Vincent, Don Mclean
8) American Pie, Don Mclean (NOT Madonna !)
9) Master of Puppets, Metallica
10) Sweet Child O' Mine, GnR

And I guess I'll have to stop there because I'm restricted to ten. If I weren't I would include :
11) Orion, Metallica (pure instrumental)
12) Musical death, Testament (Instrumental)
13) Love Song, Tesla
14) Don't cry, GnR
15) November Rain, GnR
 
Dream Weaver by Gary Wright
Ebony Eyes by Bob Welsh
Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd
 
I think, 'Imagine' by John Lennon, is the best song ever. At least lyrics are. I can listen to this song, hours, and hours, and hours, and with every time, I like it even more.

For music without lyrics (sounds, instrumental) simply astonishing is Ave Maria by Gheorghe Zamfir or whoever, I can listen to this one also hours. That guy in the song, has amazing flute skills, anyway...
