Sorry to say, but I absolutely hate that song. I have always found it weak and wishy-washy. Seemed like a completely pointless record. Maybe it's just me ? Apologies VG if it's one of your all-timers !
Smash It Up.....The Damned
( actually, just what I'd like to do to the previous disc ! )

As if! I can't stand the song either. It was a choice of that one or Diana Ross' "I'm coming out".
I'm picking less obvious songs so...

Give me just a little more time - Chairmen of the Board
(Or The Jam live at Michael Sobell Sports Centre 12th December 1981 )
"God Give Me Strength"- EC or six degrees of separation from Mr. MacManus as all things eventually link back as we will learn in the soon to be published memoirs....
He Was A Friend Of Mine - Bob Dylan. Before some dullard thinks they're cool because they post a mindnumbingly obvious choice like Papa's Got A Brand New Bag by James Brown...
Exactly... you understand! Like now they'd probably post Johnny B Goode... or, And She Was by Talking Heads if they like to pretend they're a bit hip... you know the type...
Johnny Bye Bye - Bruce Springteen. Because it's about Elvis Presley dying, which had recently been on my mind. Probably not many people here have heard it, it was a b-side.
