Sigh, The Moody Blues had another fave of mine with the same title that I neglected to list (not a cover tho). Technically tho it is called “Sunset-Twilight Time” so belongs in the “S’s” I’d reckon.
It’s confusing, because Days of Future Passed has more than one song sharing the same track of the LP. Track 2 of side 2 is called “Evening” and consists of two separate songs: “The Sunset” and “Twilight Time.”
Meanwhile, “Tuesday Afternoon” may or may not qualify as a T song. It was apparently released as a single under that title, but on the LP its title is “Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)” and it shares the track “The Afternoon” with “(Evening) Time To Get Away.”
I can’t find any reference to this on Youtube or Wikipedia.
(I’ll Never Find Another You)
There’s a fairly well-known jazz standard by that title. Perhaps it’s the same song.
Fellow Jacksonvillians would almost certainly know about the paper mill smell in the Northside. For the uninitiated, imagine 1,001 horribly flatulent people expelling all at once after ingesting 5 nuclear burritos each, so when I 1st heard the song many years ago I assumed that was the spark for the song. While Wikipedia has nothing on my hunch here, it does say that a car crash involving a band member was a partial inspiration-happened about 5 miles or so from my family’s old house in the far south of the county.
I just noticed that my nomination for the alternate, second thread contained a typo. Of course it’s “TVC 15” by David Bowie. It changes nothing, that song won’t win anything anyway, but my nitpicking soul couldn’t let it stand.
Good point. Good thing it’s an unofficial poll that doesn’t count.
It’s a little disappointing because the Seekers song is a wonderful pop confection. But as @Moonrise pointed out, There Will Never Be Another You is a jazz standard. I wasn’t familiar with it, but there are Youtube versions by Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Sinatra, Vaughn, Nat Cole, and many more.

“Tracks of My Tears,” closely followed by “Think,” are highly-rated enough in the world-famous Ponch8 Music Rating System to earn votes here.
“Time After Time” is dead-ass last.
I, for one, am thrilled to see Aretha doing so well.
Although I loves me some Take Five.
mmm
I believe it’s been cemented into everyone’s brain via the wonderful scene in Blues Brothers. Before watching that film I didn’t think of the song too often, compared to some other Aretha tunes. But, now it seems as good or better than any competitors. (Well, except maybe Natural Woman which got a huge push from Franklin’s live version at the Carole King tribute night.)
Took me only 30 hours to notice this poll…
The version Franklin recorded for that film is light years ahead of the 1968 record, especially the horns and backup vocals. That scene from The Blues Brothers is entirely responsible for that song’s success in the polls.
Well to nitpick, not entirely. I voted for it with the original version in mind, and though I think the Blues Brothers version is fine, I don’t find it exceptional or better.
Honestly, I haven’t seen “The Blues Brothers” since the year it was released, and I couldn’t tell you a thing about Aretha’s “Think” in the movie.
I just think it’s a bangin’ song.
mmm
She sings it in the scene where Jake and Elwood head to the soul-food restaurant where two of their former band members, Matt “Guitar” Murphy and “Blue Lou” Marini, are working (and where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke”). Aretha plays Matt’s wife, and she sings the song to warn Matt about the consequences of leaving her to rejoin his “white hoodlum friends.”
And, yeah, it’s a great song. 
Bangin’ video too. This version includes the context, but skipping the first 1:20 is fine.
