Yeah. The nice thing about the song is that it doesn't just loop around like a lot of rock songs today. Rather than circling and retreading old material as it goes along, Karma Police melody shifts and morphs as the lyrics tell a story of a man losing his sense of morality in the heat of the moment, and then in hindsight seeing how foolish he was.
I think that there's something very universal about the story told in Karma Police. At some level we've all ostracized people who aren't like us, the man who "Talks in math", or metaphorically arrested people who don't look like us - the girl with the "hitler hairdew". And we've all had the moments where we look back and see how we "Lost ourselves" in our emotions and passions.
Perhaps excepting Toccata and Fugue, I don't think there's any song with the emotional impact of Karma Police.

I would agree that Karma police is my fave. It's an obvious one but I love it. Just is quality too.
