"Love Rears Its Ugly Head" (Living Colour)

Although Living Colour might have had bigger hits than "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" (from 1990's Time's Up), none were quite as slinky and soulful as this composition by the band's multifaceted guitarist, Vernon Reid.
In the song, the protagonist is examining his relationship and feeling increasingly suffocated.  In the end, he dreams he's about to tie the knot, which leaves him in a state of panic as he wakes up in a cold sweat.
(You might say he has some commitment issues.)
Frontman Corey Glover delivers an impassioned vocal, as usual, while his bandmates lock into a funk groove that sounds like Prince jamming with The Meters in a smoky club after hours.  Which just goes to show that the label of "black metal" that was thrust upon the band completely ignores its jazz, blues, funk, and pop sensibilities.
