Between aim one and three I found that one was easier to find.  Times have changed and trying to help people doesn't get you money so I see why it's easier to write about pleasure.  Even though aim three was harder I managed to find a few songs, even though four of them are kind of a joke.  There is so much music based on pleasure that even songs based on public service still cross over into the pleasure category,  which isn't had seeing how music is a form of pleasure in its self.
