'There She Goes'
--The La's (1991)

The accusation: She's "pulsing through my vein" and "no one else can heal my pain" -- "she" can only be Sweet Lady Heroin.

The defense: Guitarist Paul Hemmings says no; bassist John Power says he doesn't know.

The verdict: Guilty. When Sixpense None the Richer's version was used for a birth-control pill ad, the drug connection was made official.

Sixpence None the Richer is a Christian group, so I very seriously doubt they would have covered a song about heroin use. The people who used the song for the birth control probably just liked the song. Sometimes, a song is just a song. It's not always about a deeper meaning.
