I don’t know this one, but I’d vote for the song of the same name by Neil Sedaka.
It’s pretty obscure, kind of niche music, but I’m into that indie hipster stuff.
You kids!
I’ll go with another one of those indie, hipster tunes from Taytay:
Blank Space - Taylor Swift
Big Time - Peter Gabriel
Bring Me To Life - Evanescence
Bob - “Weird Al” Yankovic
still thinking about one more that someone else hasn’t already jumped on…
I came up with “Blank Generation” by Richard Hell and the Voidoids and “Bye Bye Love” by the Everly Brothers after I posted my five nominations. Maybe you like one of those?
ETA: and only now I thought of CCR’s “Born On The Bayou” . It’s one of my favorite rock songs. Does anybody want to take it?
The Everly Brothers it is!
Bye Bye Love - The Everly Brothers
Thanks!

D’oh, my favorite Who song, and I forgot it.
