Funny that you would mention that, because, strange as it may seem, I have a girl I love for whom, she and I, "The Girl Tried To Kill Me" may just be "our song".
Still. I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish.
The pure genius of "Cleaning out My Closet" will outlive the family conflicts which created it, and this is the hallmark and legacy of true art. Here is an early portrait of Mathers, by Caravaggio, Boy Bitten by a Lizard:

And further, here's some immortal Animals music: dedicated through the www to compared2what?

The Animals - It's My Life
With a meaningless rumination by George Maharis on the nature of rock music.

The Animals - When I Was Young

The Animals - Boom Boom

And the one and only...
John Lee Hooker - Boom Boom

Childish exuberance in an open-top vehicle in the deindustrialised North of England in the depths of winter under Thatcher, and directed by Lindsay Anderson to boot!

I would have married this woman if only she'd asked me nicely.

ON EDIT: Oh dear oh dear... Je suis tombée amoureuse.

Strawberry Letter 23 -- Shuggie Otis

AKA -- The rock snob's version. But I heart America's foremost second-generation Grigger R&B multi-instrumentalist.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
