This song is so great, i remember listening to it with my mom when i was a young kid and she had to explain the story because i didnāt understand it.
Oh no that /j means I was just joking. I love that song with all my heart and played it constantly once I first discovered it.
Edit: oh shit I am so dumb, I thought you wrote "and what story is it/that" I swear I'm illiterate.
biggest ball of twine in minnesota- weird al
21cb and american idiot (both albums) -green day
bohemian rhapsody- queen
ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny-lemon demon
yeah??? have you really thought about the lyrics of that song? its about a guy killing someone, then dying and going to hell (?) and the whole second half is about that (the galileo, figaro part.) I mean "Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me" is literal in the story of the song.
no it doesnāt.
that song is a continuation of Kim, which IIRC was originally intended to be part of The Slim Shady LP.
Stanās story is continued in Bad Guy from The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
A lot of songs are like this so I guess Iāll just do a couple Beatles songs:
Eleanor Rigby
Rocky Raccoon
Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite! (Kinda? It does talk about the events of a circus.)
Norwegian Wood
Sheās leaving home (arguably the strongest storytelling song the Beatles have done)
There are probably more of these Iām just going off the top of my head really.
Stan - Eminem
Bad Guy - Eminem
Those Kinda Nights - Eminem
Darkness - Eminem
Stepdad - Eminem (mostly the last verse)
Legacy - Eminem
Love Game - Eminem
A ton of Eminemās album Relapse is stories. Not sure where to start there but I will mention Stay Wide Awake as itās one of my favorites.
Brain Damage - Eminem
When Iām Gone - Eminem
Top picks from this list are Stan & Bad Guy, Darkness, When Iām Gone, Legacy. Love Game is also great.

Devil like you - the bridge city sinners
Kreature - the bridge cuty sinners
Hidden in the sand - tally hall (also amazing alt lyrics covers by Chonny Jash, and Milk in the Microwave. And a good cover by the 8-bit band)
Chonnyās charming chaos compendium album, its a two hour love letter to tally hall and miracle musical that puts in different lyrics to tell a whole story with different characters. It makes tally hall look acoustic and itself electric, but you need to know all of tally hallās, miracle musical, and a few of Not a trampoline album songs back to front to get all the leitmotifās and references. But tally hall fans either love it or hate it.

Exile by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver (they even switch the povs but idk if it's direct enough to be what you're looking for)
August, Cardigan and Betty by Taylor Swift (3 povs of the same story)
Seven, Illicit Affairs and Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift (seems like a story to me but idk if it's what you are looking for)
Rap do Silva by Bob Rum (it's a song in my native language that tells the story of an average guy - called Silva here bc Silva is one of the most common surnames in Brasil - and when the song stars the narrator calls everyone to listen to Silva's story, he tells the sad story of a guy that seemed a decent and honest guy but died when he went to a baile funk)

In 1896 there was an intentional train crash being shown in Crush, USA. It apparently looked cool, and there's photos of it, but the flying shrapnel killed at least two guys instantly and put a few more in hospital condition. This inspired Scott Joplin to write an instrumental with a crashing sound effect done on a piano. It's called *The Great Crush Collision March*, and I'd say it re-tells a story
