What are your favorite songs that begin with the letter O? [Final Poll added] See rules in OP

Rules :

  • NEW : 5 nominations only please. The 5 noms plus 1 alternate system did not work from my end. Too much chaos, confusion, and heartache.

  • If you edit your already-posted entry to make a change, I may not see it. Please do not edit your posted list or re-post your entire list – this gets confusing - just add a new post with changes or additions only. EXAMPLE: Remove “Good Vibrations” and add “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It.”

  • You are allowed to make changes to your entries up until the time that the first polls are posted.

  • Please do not post title suggestions or comments on alternative titles. This takes a little of the fun out of the process. It is ok, after the polls are posted, to name titles that have been overlooked.

  • Submissions are limited to 5 per person.

  • Exclude articles such as “a”, “an”, “the”, etc. that begin the title. Example: “The Hokey Pokey” belongs in the H poll, not the T poll.

  • Exclude titles that begin with punctuation, such as an apostrophe, parenthesis, etc.

  • You must include the artist (not the composer, unless they are the same person) or your submission will not be counted.

  • Polls will appear in this thread once submissions begin to wind down.

  • Classical releases are excluded.

  • Final poll, also in this thread, will narrow the field to 10-ish.

  • Thanks for playing!
