I have to say my personal favourite is Tender by Blur, a Song that speaks to me quite deeply.

That is not The Greatest Song in the World, No!
That is just a tribute.

I did that in Karaoke the other day. I got quite a response. A guy even came up to me after and told me I was a good singer.

I'm on a boat - The Lonely Island


[Intro (T-Pain)]
(Shortayyyy) Aww gooseberry fool
Get your towels ready it's about to go down (shorty, yeah)
Everybody in the place hit the strawberry floatin deck (shorty, yeah)
But stay on your motherfuckin toes
We runnin this, let's go

[Chorus (T-Pain)]
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
Everybody look at me cause I'm sailin on a boat (sailin on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfuckin boat (boat, yeah)

[The Lonely Island (T-Pain)]
I'm on a boat mummy strawberry floater take a look at me
Straight flowin on a boat on the deep blue sea
Bustin five knots, wind whippin out my coat
You can't stop me mummy strawberry floater cause I'm on a boat

Take a picture, trick (trick) I'm on a boat, bitch (bitch)
We drinking Santana champ, cause it's so crisp (crisp)
I got my swim trunks, and my flippie-floppies
I'm flippin burgers, you at Kinko's straight flippin copies

I'm ridin on a dolphin, doin flips and gooseberry fool
The dolphin's splashin, gettin e'rybody all wet
But this ain't Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I'm on a boat mummy strawberry floater, don't you ever forget

I'm on a boat and, it's goin fast and
I got a nautical themed pashmina afghan
I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore, then you're sho' not me-oh
{Get the strawberry float up, this boat is REAL!!!}

strawberry float land, I'm on a boat, mummy strawberry floater (mummy strawberry floater)
strawberry float trees, I climb buoys, mummy strawberry floater (mummy strawberry floater)
I'm on the deck with my boys, mummy strawberry floater (yeah)
This boat engine make noise, mummy strawberry floater

Hey ma, if you could see me now (see me now)
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow (starboard bow)
Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow (moon somehow)
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible

[T-Pain]
Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat
It's a big blue watery road (yeah)
Poseidon~!! Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)
Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat comin my way
Believe me when I say, I strawberry floated a mermaid

[Chorus]

[T-Pain]
Whoahhh
Sha-sha-shorty, shorty
Yeah yeah yeahhh

Everlong by Foo Fighters.

An amazing song, easily the best the Foos ever put out.

Untitled 8 by Sigur Ros is also amazing.

That's a favourite of mine. My favourite song though(at the moment, it changes all the time), is one that has no words. Can we put that in a thread about the best songs ever written?

What is this, FOX FM*? Bohemian Rhapsody is not the best.

(god knows if this smear mark still exists)

It may not be the best, but surely it is the greatest.

Weezer - Pink Triangle

When I'm stable long enough
I start to look around for love
See a sweet in floral prints
My mind begins the arrangements
But when I start to feel that pull
Turns out I just pulled myself
She would never go with me
Were I the last girl on earth

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth

Might have smoked a few in my time
But never thought it was a crime
Knew the day would surely come
When I'd chill and settle down
When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl
Then she put me in my place
If everyone's a little queer
Can't she be a little straight?

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth

I'm dumb, she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
Pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth
Let me know the truth


Or anything else off Pinkerton.
