I’ll hereby nominate: **“Tequila” by The Champs** as suggested by @Baal_Houtham. That was also one of my leftovers from the T thread. ETA: Did **“The Chain” - Fleetwood Mac** get nominated in the C thread? I’m not seeing it there, but that was one of the early ones that was split across multiple threads, so I may have missed it. If not I hereby nominate that it as well. I believe I have one nomination remaining. ---
