We all have our favorite songs. That one little piece of music that we (and sometimes only we) just groove to completely. But there are some songs, you may like or hate them, that resonate with everyone. I think I've found a few....
The Rolling Stones, "Paint it Black".
Everyone I've ever talked to says they feel the whammy from Paint. Personally, I think it cuts off the bloodflow to whatever part of the brain regulates morality. If I ever have to perpetrate a massacre, this is what'll be playing. Somebody told me they brainscanned people while this played, and it caused huge brain chemistry spikes. Dunno if that's true.
Judy Garland, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
Same effect, completely different emotion. I've seen entire rooms slow down and stop when this started playing. Maybe it's the Wizard of Oz tie-in from when we all were kids...I dunno. Has anyone out there not seen that movie? I'm interested in your opinion. And in how you've managed never to see that movie. What, did you go through childhood in a box?
...can anyone suggest a few more?
(PS - Honorable mention to Iz for his version of Rainbow. Is it the shoes?)
