One song I had on repeat for an hour before my girlfriend came in and confiscated the CD - **Last Goodbye** by Jeff Buckley. ---

About 2 years ago, one of the local radio stations was changing over to a different genre, and was trying to build up their listeners for the new station. I want to say they went from country to rap, but I don’t really remember. For a week straight, they continuously looped the same song, an updated version of _Wild Thing_. (I don’t remember who it’s by…) Surprisingly enough, it worked. People were hooked to the song, and listened to it over and over again for the whole week. After that thing ended though, they haven’t played the song since… “I need fifty dollars, to make you holler…I get PAID to do the wild thang!” I miss that song…if anyone knows who sings it, please let me know… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Astro Hog \* > \*\*Love Song - Tesla, > 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky, > Moonlight Sonata, > Jump Around - House of Pain \*\* Tesla is one of my favorite groups of all-time (GREAT reunion tour! WOO HOO!) My admiration for this group started with _Love Song_ so I’ve been known to listen to that song over and over and over again. When I finally started listening to some of their other stuff, the need to listen to _Love Song_ in a continuous loop for days dwindled quite a bit, but it’s still one of my favorite songs. I get goosebumps when I hear it, even on 100 degree days. 😮 ---

Right now I’m alternating between Rufus Wainwright’s “California” and Shirley Bassey’s Away Team Mix of “Where Do I Begin?” I swear, if I didn’t already have a boyfriend, and Rufus wasn’t gay, and he knew me, I would marry him. ---

Whenever I listen to the album _Melt_ by Straightjacket Fits, the song “Down in Splendour” gets played about three or four times before moving on. It’s just so incredible. ---

Don’t even get me started on Rufus! I could listen to any of his songs on repeat for eternity, but if I had to choose, it’d be “A Rose That Needs Some Water.” He hasn’t released it, so the only version I have is bootlegged and filled with background noise and chatter, but it doesn’t even matter. There is no song better than that. ---
