What's Not Your Most Favorite Song, But Always Makes You Smile Anyway?
For me, neither of these are my favorite songs, but I LOVE when they come on the radio:

1. Stuck in the Middle With You
2. 5 O'Clock World
3. Build Me Up Buttercup

You?

2. TEQUILA!
It's my cell phone ring tone, and sometimes I just let it play instead of answering.

Build Me Up Buttercup is a good one too.

5. i just love it
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up, oh (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up, oh (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

33. That one about Kills me...
My Dad used to sing it to me before he died... I wish I would have understood how Prophetic it was then... But I was only 8.... I still love the song, But it does reduce me to tears in certain moods...

21. I like Stuck in the Middle
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 09:20 PM by neebob
and (I'm?) Movin' Out by Billy Joel, and that new one by Duran Duran that goes, "Reach up for the sunrise, put your hands in ... to the BIG sky ..." If that isn't the most fun disco-in-the-car song ever, I don't know what is.

Oh, and Yellow Submarine. Sing with me:

And we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine
Yellow submarine

I just friggin' love that song.

And let's not forget Breakfast in America by Supertramp and Stop Me (If You've Heard This One Before) by The Smiths. And Joey by Concrete Blonde.

30. Still Rock and Roll
to Me, by Billy Joel. Because of that line "Should you try to be a straight A student if you are then you think too much."

I used to be insulted by it when I was younger but now I think it may be true. Since everyone is always telling me "you think way too much."

My only question is how the hell do you stop? ROTFLO.

Oh by the way, I only managed a straight A average one semester but I did try for it. LOL.

31. You've gotta hear "Build Me Up Buttercup" by Me First and the...
Gimme Gimmes. I love their version.

Journey songs usually make me smile. And anything by Scooter.
