Have you ever had a moment where the perfect song came up in the perfect place, at the perfect time?
Stealers Wheel: Stuck in the Middle With YouDriving home with a car full of friends, when some idiot changed lanes abruptly nearly causing a collision. Then this song starts playing on the radio.It instantly changed anger into fun as we all loudly sang this very apt song together.LYRICSWell, I don't know why I came here tonightI got the feeling that something ain't rightI'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairsClowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,Here I am, stuck in the middle with youYes, I'm stuck in the middle with you,And I'm wondering what it is I should doIt's so hard to keep this smile from my face,Losing control, and I'm all over the placeClowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,Here I am, stuck in the middle with youWell, you started off with nothing,And you're proud that you're a self-made manAnd your friends they all come crawling,Slap you on the back and say,Please, pleaseTrying to make some sense of it all,But I can see it makes no sense at allIs it cool to go to sleep on the floor?'Cause I don't think that I can take anymoreClowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,Here I am, stuck in the middle with youAnd you started off with nothing,And you're proud that you're a self-made manAnd your friends they all come crawling,Slap you on the back and say,Please, please.Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonightI got the feeling that something ain't rightI'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairsClowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,Here I am, stuck in the middle with youYes, I'm stuck in the middle with youStuck in the middle with youHere I am, stuck in the middle with youSongwriters: Gerald Rafferty / Joe EganStuck in the Middle With You lyrics © BMG Rights Management US, LLC
What would be your perfect song to listen to when you want to indulge in your sadness?
I think this one! What do you think about it? You can listen to it here:
I need a good song about meeting the perfect guy?
We met through a friend, a long time ago... and we finally had our first date last night. We've been texting/talking on the phone for a couple weeks and since getting out of a REALLY bad relationship I feel that I have finally met someone who cares about me! He's incredible and I'm so happyyyy for the first time in a long time! Any suggestions? :)
Son is turning 18 & I need a perfect song ?
I'm making a video for my son's birthday that will have his "life in pictures." I am so proud of him ~ we've been through some really horrible things in the past 6 years and he's been so strong through it all. I really want to find a song that will say how much I love him and how proud I am to be his Mom.
I need a good song for a father/daughter dance.?
You could go the route my cousin's wife went and do Sweet Child of Mine. Yes, the GNR version of it. I don't recommend it, but it certainly wasn't butterfly kisses crap. LOL How about Van Morrison's "Have I told you Lately?" That fits the bill nicely. She's Leaving Home - The Beatles in My Life - The Beatles You Are so Beautiful - Joe Cocker Landslide by Fleetwood Mac Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix Baby I Love Your Ways by Peter Frampton Keep On Loving you by REO Speedwagon Babe by Styx Angel by Aerosmith Fathers and daughters -Paul Simon Daughters - John Mayer
I need a perfect retirement song for my teacher so, can anybody help me find the perfect song?
How about the song that goes "na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye lol" jk Umm i'd go with "Happy Together by The Turtles"
What do you define as a "good" song?
There is no right answer to this, just subjectivity. So, for me and me alone:a song that is:simpleclearemotion barely restrainedrestrainedcourageous in some way"saudade"not longer than it needs to benot shorter than it needs to befascinating structurally memorable lyrics sincere in some way (i.e. sincerely foolish, sincerely honest, etc.)smart lyricslyrics that are not cute or tritean elevation of the mundanenot more complex than they need to beoriginal in some waysurprises (unexpected meaning, music change, lyrics, etc.)I think these qualities describe many famous songs.
