What is the greatest song ever written?

[Fnaar]

You can stop the thread now - there is a winner

Ah, but... then there's Tina Charles...

Danbo, hat off to you for this one!

for me its impossible, everything from the rock and roll my mum listened to when i was a kid, all the way through to one or two that my daughters listen to.

a stab in the dark would be hyperactive by Thomas Dolby, Many tenticles pimping on the keys by the lo fidelity allstars, westworld by Theatre of Hate, Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin........

i did say it was impossible

great thread by the way

Sorry misunderstood the rules - here we go then, top this mofo...

3BM, you may not like MK, but this is a great reply

 

[Fab Foodie]

Sorry misunderstood the rules - here we go then, top this mofo...

That's better, return to class

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.

Never heard my name in it, strange.

Carol wise, for me... probably In the bleak mid-Winter

Always look on the Bright Side of Life.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...​

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...​

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath​

Life's a piece of shoot
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...​

Has nobody mentioned Bob the Builder yet?

 

[machew]

This must be up there with the best

 

[amnesia]

Can't argue with the sentiment... more people should take heed IMHO.

 

[YahudaMoon]

Maybe not the best. I don't even think the Beatles get anywhere near

Just wanted to post this pic

 

[YahudaMoon]

Have I won ?

 

[YahudaMoon]

Is that Ernie Wise's ear?

Could be ha ha ha. Id love to know who it is ?

Interesting photo as the album was shot from the other side I think ? and no photographers / cameras in view

Ha ha, you're right - both earman and the parked taxi are visible in the original album photo, but the photographer isn't ...

... so I think that there was only one photographer and he took the album picture and then ran round to the taxi to take the other. You can see that Lennon is 3/4 of the way over the crossing here, but all the way across in the other picture.

PS London streets were really busy in those days!

I hate to agree with you FF but Stille Nacht best carol, liked that since doing it in the school choir................

Not the best ever song but one of my faveourites, 99 red balloons
