Pick five, off the top of your head, Go.

1. Night Shift. The Commodores.
2. It's a Heartache. Bonnie Tyler.
3. Downbound Train. Springsteen.
4. Tell Me. The Stones.
5. The Seeker. The Who.

Try and beat that list.
 
Portabello Road by Cat Stevens
Tiny City Made of Ashes- Modest Mouse
Mean Mr Mustard- Beatles
Rapture- Blondie
Tombstone Blues- Dylan

When you say obscure, I am thinking lyrics the make you ask "what the hell was that about" or "what the fv*k does that mean?"
Am I right on what this is about?

oh wait, thats not obscure. That's the opposite of obscure (scure?).


Sorry, just couldn't think of any real good real obscure songs and felt the need to post something.

The Cowboy Song - Faith No More
Return of da Baby - Brotha Lynch Hung
A Question of Heaven - Iced Earth
Trition - Rumble
 
Guess it depends on what you consider obscure. One Night in Bangkok, Nightshift, and It's A Heartache are not obscure to me. Neither are my picks to me and perhaps others who were around in the 70's-90's but may be to others.

Chilliwack - My Girl
Diesel - Sausalito Summer Night
Lords Of Acid - (Multiple songs but since the lyrics and titles tend to be explicit will not post them here, find them on your own) :Drogar-Evil(DBG):
... I'll have to check my music collection and amend this later.

I do have some obscure albums, like Cheryl Ladd and Burt Reynalds.
