(no subject)
There are a few songs that are just so *perfect* that they make me crazy. In a good way. In a "I MUST LISTEN TO THIS SONG ON REPEAT FOR THREE DAYS" kind of way. I can't even quantify what it is, but some songs just grab me and give me a pure glee injection on the first listening.
Most recently it's "Hey Julie" by Fountains of Wayne, and I think it's the simplicity of it that makes me love it, but there's also something in the lyrics- the way they sort of rhyme in the chorus, but never in the places you expect. And it's perky.
He's got me running round the office like a gerbil on a wheel,
He can tell me what to do but he can't tell me what to feel
Other awesomely perfect songs:
- Hurry Sundown by The Outlaws (but only the studio version)
Southern Rock ghost story that just flows together perfectly- including a change in strum pattern between the verse and the chorus that makes me shiver every time. OH MAN IT IS SO GOOD. (and the resolution from minor to major on the last chord just *makes* it and I will stop gleeing now. :D)
- Train in Vain by The Clash
An inexplicably happy song about getting dumped.
- Walk of Life by Dire Straits
♥Mark Knopfler having so much FUN.
- Fight the Good Fight by Triumph
And how much do I adore SPN for introducing me to this song. Whoooooo. *air guitars and headbangs*
I'm sure there's about a billion more, but those are my top "these songs need no improving whatsoever" tracks. Anyone else have a list of songs that make them drop stuff to air-guitar and sing along? Or am I a freak? :D
