What would be the equivalent of songs we have in the Pokémon world?

Enter Sandman (Metallica)- Enter Darkrai
Americano (Lady GaGa) - Unovacano

How it works:

Song name (band or singer) - Alternative song name

I will update this post to make a list.

You can also post what lyrics would be changed in italics.

I thought of a parody of George Harrison's My Sweet Lord, which would be about most legendary pokemon. Although I'm not sure how I could replace Hallelujah and Hare Krishna with Arceus, etc especially as Arceus has three syllables.
 
^^ There are other Pokemon that are revered to an extent, right? Hallelujah could be O Lugia.
 
That's what I said. I said "most legendary pokemon,". As for Lugia, maybe if you discount the theory that it can breed in the anime and other minor legendaries.

New York City's Killing me - Ray LaMontagne - Castelia City's Killing Me (since Unova's based off NYC and Castelia's the biggest city in Unova...)

Get me out of Castelia City, son
Castelia City's killing me.
