FL Studio confounds me.

And Image Line's own tutorial is no help, either. The interface is so heinously complicated that I can't get my head around it for the life of me. My google-fu fails me; would anyone happen to know of a good tutorial, video or otherwise, which walks one through the creation of a simple demo track or two?

There are like 6 million on youtube

I'll check those out, thanks!

No problem, and if you have any questions, there is a wealth of fruity loops videos on youtube

I've been a user since ~fl3 and if anything I'd say it's got one of the easier interfaces. The biggest hurdle to get by is its current (and silly, imo) hybrid pattern/linear interface. If you focus on grasping the standard features and creating patterns to, then, chain in song mode, I think you'll get through the growing pains a little easier.
If you have any specific problems, I'm more than glad to help, shoot me a PM.
