All of Paul Simon's Graceland. The music is upbeat afro-pop. The lyrics are a
lament on middle age and the american condition.
Why am I so soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard. (one of the very best examples - sad lyrics; super fun song)

Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam. That is some dark crap right there. But the tune is so upbeat.
