The perfect "pop" song?

[Wings of a Sparrow 1,415]

We''re talking a good tune, catchy chorus good lyrics. (Probably time and place also have a lot to do with it.)

Abba and the Beatles and maybe the Beach Boys will be up there but for me it''s either....

Denis by Blondie and

Here comes the summer both by the Undertones.

Presently there is a TV advert running for a car using the Kinks'' song."Thank you for the days" quite a cheerful song ,even uplifting.... if you ignore the car.The producers of such adverts do seem to be trawling for songs and tunes which areolder than Methusela,(me). ec

I could nominate hundreds of songs that would fit the bill for me, but today I shall go for a David Bowie single from 1972 - Starman. A lovely catchy song. It brings back happy memories.

To keep things going " Goodbye Ruby Tuesday" .

Another great one is I Can See For Miles by The Who (1967), which for some mysterious reason failed to go any higher number than 10 in the UK charts, much to Pete Townshend''s disgust and amazement. Mind you, the charts were full of good songs back in those days.

From the same era

Waterloo Sunset- Kinks

Funny how things come back an'' bite you in the bum.Trawling through Tom Rush and then Tim Hardin I clicked on Nico."Banned in your country" said the bold notice.I had never seen that before.I am banned for using Nico a while ago,but I never knew what the screen showed.Live and learn. .Hex.
