What is the greatest song ever written?

[rowan 46]

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world



A lovely idea which would be great coming from someone who wasn't singing those lyrics while playing his fine white grand piano, in a huge white room in his enormous white mansion!

you have to feel sorry for him yoko sold the rest of the furniture

Great great tune.. But as a scot .. really dodgey lyrics

My favourite song at one point was silence by delirium sung by Sarah Mclachan Not sing a long stuff but has depth musically and lyrically

Excellent song. Notice how David Byrne can't sing and nod his head at the same time.

Love Talking heads got almost everything they have done on vinyl.

As a half Scot I have some real reservations about some of the later verses used in the national anthem, the bit about rebellious Scots to crush ain't too hot although I think it has been officially dropped now.

There's something decidedly David Miller-ish about David Byrne.

Given that David Millar is 25 years younger, I'd say that there is something David Byrne-ish about him! (And yes - I agree - I'd already noticed the resemblance.)

Many Ozzies would tell you this is the best song ever written- it's a sort of an unofficial national anthem



The Pogues have written and covered some cracking songs in their time. Shane MacGowan is nothing short of genius (as well as a medical miracle for his continued good health). I'd struggle to name a favourite track but this one's right up there with the best of them

True enough. I did have to find an old picture of David Byrne!

It has to be 'Happy Birthday'.

Just about everyone has heard it, sung it and had it sung to them and it has everyone's name in it.
