Don’t Pull Your Love Out on Me Baby by – I’ve forgotten.
And the first George Strait Greatest Hits – wore out the tape. This was in the days before CDs. Played it over and over and over, the whole thing.
And Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Good og, I don’t even think I own but a handful of these songs, and only a couple out of those I do own I would listen to more then once and that being Croce’s I’ve Got a Name.

I don’t do it much since I don’t want people to think I’m crazy and now I can’t remember all the ones I do like to listen to more then once.

It can do that. A friend and I heard it for the first time when we were in college. We were on our way to a movie or somesuch when it came on the radio. He pulled off into a parking lot, and we sat there and shivered through the rest of it. We went straight to a music store from there and dug through stuff until we found a copy, then listened to it over and over. I still play it two or three times in a row, sometimes.
Some other occasional repeaters:
“The Selkie” – Amberhawke (Linda King-Burdge)
“The Ballad of Cathain” – Grant Lee Phillips (from the “Witchblade” TV series)
“We Want a Rock” – They Might Be Giants
“UHF” – Weird Al (What?)
“Sultans of Swing” – Dire Straits
“Zoot Suit Riot” – Cherry Popping Daddies
“House of Bamboo” – Southern Culture on the Skids
“The Mummers’ Dance” – Loreena McKennet
“One Night in Bangkok” – Murray Head
“One Piece at a Time” – Johnny Cash
“I Love Rock and Roll” – Joan Jett
There are others, but I think that’s a representative sample. What it represents, though, I’m not sure.
>The Way You Dream - 1 Giant Leap feat. Michael Stipe
>Cornershop, Brimful of Asha (the ‘Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow’ song)
