I just fired up **Interstate Love Song** by **Stone Temple Pilots** , and fell in love with it all over again. It surely is my absolute, positive, best song ever, and will be for a few more days until I am lured away by some flashy, falsely charming pseudo-best song ever. Yet I always come back to Interstate Love Song. )And somehow I seem to remember that I have other APBSEs.) 🙂 What’s your absolute, positive, best song ever? ---

“Turn out the light” by Nelly Furtado. Mostly the ‘boodily boodily boodily’ bit. My tastes change daily, however. For example, Smashmouth’s version of “I’m a believer” is pretty darn cool too. And I do like Gorillaz “Clint Eastwood”. ---
