More of an OOT thread, but George Thoroughgood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer is lyrically perfect for a bar setting. It has a great talky style, is funny, and is a great drinking song that keeps the energy and mood high.

For just pure perfection, though, both Yesterday by The Beatles and In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel are it. Simple, but beautiful. Nothing screams perfection than concise poignancy.

Good ones. From the same people, I'd also submit Long and Winding Road from the Beatles and Big Time and Don't Give Up from Gabriel.
From The Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime and the hilarious Animals, as well as Naive Melody
From Joe Raposo, there's It's Not Easy Being Green. Especially great when sung by Ray Charles.
From Harry Chapin, Taxi, and Cats in the Cradle.
From Jim Croce, Time in a Bottle, and I've Got a Name
From Paul Simon, too many to mention
From Nat King Cole, I've always liked Mona Lisa, though it's very simple
