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.

43

Tequila and The Chain were both available, so yes, you still have one more to go.

mmm

44

From my list, drop:

broken - lovelytheband

And add:

The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful - Jimmy Buffett

The skies are too clear, life’s too easy today. :slight_smile:

45

I love that Lou Reed song Busload Of Faith.

46

West End Blues - Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five
In a Sentimental Mood - Duke Ellington and His Orchestra
Well, You Needn’t - Thelonious Monk
Blue Skies - Ella Fitzgerald
The Man I Love - Erroll Garner

47

Ah, quoting myself.

Two other songs I didn’t think of at the time and didn’t pick either this time, so if anyone is interested :

Wasting My Young Years - London Grammar
Porque Te Vas - Jeanette

48

I think I’ll just get completely self-indulgent here:

Can’t You See - The Marshall Tucker Band
Fooled Around and Fell In Love - Elvin Bishop
A Girl Like You - The Smithereens
Like Dreamers Do - The Radiators
Sausalito Summernight - Diesel

49

Not getting a ton of action here. We have 77 entries, I’ll cap this one at 100.

Everyone take up to an additional 3 titles if you have them.

mmm

50

To Sir with Love – Lulu
All I Really Want To Do – Bob Dylan
Downtown – Petula Clark

mmm

51

My fifth of my original 5 will be:

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams

I’ll see if I can come up with three more.

52

Then I reinstate “Waitin’ For The Bus” by ZZ Top I scratched for “Lost In Music”, and add:

Death Of A Clown - The Kinks/Dave Davies

Cortez The Killer - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

53

A Song For Europe - Roxy Music
Chestnut Mare - The Byrds
I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself - Dusty Springfield
A Little Soul - Pulp
I Dreamed I Saw Saint Augustine - Bob Dylan

j

54

Heart and Soul - T’Pau
Hard Candy Christmas - Dolly Parton
She Don’t Know Me - Bon Jovi

55

Two most excellent choices.

56

I blame myself for Dusty being missed; but I blame EVERYBODY for missing Chestnut Mare!

j

57

My excuse is that I overlooked the C thread and didn’t post in it. I have a lot of great C songs on my list, that’s why I nominated “Cortez The Killer” above. Hey, will someone take “Ca Plane Pour Moi” by Plastic Bertrand?

58

We’re going to have a hell of a bench for this one.

j

ETA: there’s always a place for the perfect pop song; Anyone wanna take I Try by Macy Gray?

59

The Andy Griffith Show Theme, Earle Hagen
Seaside Rendezvous, Queen
Guitars, Cadillacs, Dwight Yoakam
Snowman, Sia
Words of Love, the Beatles

60

Heck, I nominated one of the greatest pop songs of all time IMHO in the A thread, and how did it go? One vote in the polls, mine…
