I'm going to put something controversial out there. "Save a Prayer," off Duran Duran's 1982 sophomore album Rio, is their best song. It's endlessly exotic and romantic, so much so that it's positively transportive.
As for the lyrics, I love the part where Simon LeBon sings, "And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance, but fear is in your soul. Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise." That's sheer drama and if you're wondering, you had me at hello, Mr. LeBon. Single friends, you might want to try that last sentence as a pickup line.
