Well sure, but a pop song which doesn't live in the genre in unlikely to be the essence of pop, is it ?
Y'see to me something like Bohemian Like You is nowhere near the perfect pop tune because its lyrics are satirical in style. Pop has to be shameless cheese dammit ! It's pop, I grant you, but not even a contender.
Oh - I also nominate Echo Beach by... umm... Martha and the Muffins was it ?
