Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Beatles... Penny Lane, for one.

Basically any song is a story, you just have to find one that you really feel and that you think that you could put movement into... Hope I helped

Don't Take the Girl
Tim McGraw
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
when he was eight years old.
a little girl came through the front gate
holding a fishing pole
his dad looked down and smiled
said we can't leave her behind
son I know you don't want her to go
but someday you'll change your mind
and Johnny said
take Jimmy Johnson
take Tommy Thompson
take my best friend Bo-
take anybody that you want as
long as she don't go
take any boy in the world
daddy please- don't take the girl
Same old boy
same sweet girl
ten years down the road
he held her tight and kissed her lips
in front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
grabbed her by the arm
said if you do what I tell you to do
there won't be any harm
and Johnny said
take my money
take my wallet
take my credit cards
here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
here's the keys to my car
mister give it a whirl
but please-don't take the girl
Same old boy
same sweet girl
five years down the road
there's gonna be a little one
and she says it's time to go
docter says the baby's fine
but you'll have to leave
cause his momma's fading fast
and Johnny hit his knees
and there he prayed
take the very breath you gave me
take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place
if you'll let me
make this my last request
take me out of this world
God please-don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
when he was eight years old.

music here Her parents never took the young girl to church,
Never spoke of His name,
Never read her His word.
Two non-believers walking lost in this world,
Took their baby with them,
What a sad little girl.
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs.
Never wanted to play,
Or give kisses and hugs.
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch,
While her mom fell asleep,
And her daddy went out.
And the drinking and the fighting,
Just got worse every night.
Behind their couch, she'd be hiding:
Oh, what a sad little life.
And like it always does, the bad just got worse,
With every slap,
And every curse.
Until her daddy, in a drunk rage one night,
Used a gun on her mom,
And then took his life.
And some people from the city,
Took the girl far away.
To a new mom and dad:
Kisses and hugs everyday.
Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in,
And a small little girl,
Stared a picture of Him.
She said I know that man up there on that cross,
I don't know His name,
But I know He got off.
'Cause he was there in my old house
And held me close to His side.
As I hid there, behind our couch,
The night that my parents died.
those are stories!!!
hope I helped!

Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen, has immense comedic potential. What you're looking for, if you want to search on it, is a ballad — a musical form that tells a story.
On my "recently played" list: Big Yellow Taxi, by Joni Mitchell; Shirley, by L7; Susan's House, by eels; The Partisan, by Leonard Cohen... not your standard ballads, but all interesting. There is of course Sk8er Boi by a certain gal from Napanee, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention her name :P
