What is the best song that begins with the letter C? Final poll added

OK, I’m convinced. Thanks for the feedback.

mmm

Thanks for doing these, by the way.

Thanks for thanking me.

mmm

Damn. That reminds me of two others :-
Cannonball - Weather Report
Cannonball - Supertramp

Country Preacher - Cannonball Adderley

Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin

Which I would have included if I was allowed more than three nominations.

I’ve got about 15 “C” songs rated with 5 stars in my iTunes library.

To cut it down to 3, I went with:
Come as You Are - Nirvana
Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Chickamauga - Uncle Tupelo

Sorry Breeders, I decided to change up the genre a bit for my third so Cannonball didn’t make the cut.

Final poll – What is the best C song? Select up to 3.

Best C song
  • California Dreamin’ – The Mamas & the Papas
  • California Girls – The Beach Boys
  • Call Me – Blondie
  • Can’t Buy Me Love – The Beatles
  • Cecilia – Simon & Garfunkel
  • Changes – David Bowie
  • City of New Orleans – Arlo Guthrie
  • Come On Eileen – Dexy’s Midnight Runners
  • Come Together – The Beatles
  • Comfortably Numb – Pink Floyd

You inspired me to count, and there seem to be a LOT of great “C” songs…

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You - Frankie Valli

I cannot believe i forgot this :-
Compared to What - Ray Charles & Leela James
(Other fine versions are available)

Car Wash - Rose Royce

I can’t believe I didn’t think of that one until now

F**** F**** F**** F**** F**** F****
How the hell could i have forgotten my favorite tune of all time …
the Chicken - Jaco Pastorius

From the Smooth Jazz genre, I’d like to add;
Can You Feel It? by Lee Ritenour
Chameleon 3000 by Bob Baldwin
Chips & Salsa by Steve Oliver

Might as well add Connection by Elastica and Cortez the Killer by Neil Young while we’re at it.

Cortez did make an appearance in the also-ran poll.

I gave it one of its 5 votes.
