231. Moondance: Van Morrison- I picture little faeries dancing around to this song at night.
232. Just Like a Woman: Bob Dylan- This might have been about a former girlfriend’s early death. Edie Sedgwick also influenced the Cult’s “Edie.”
233. Sexual Healing: Marvin Gaye- Reminds me of the old record store. Some 40something guy brought in his 20 year old girlfriend looking for something to screw to. He set off pedophile vibes and she was dressed in white lace.
234. Only the Lonely: Roy Orbison- All time classic. Probably ranked too low.
235. We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The Animals- Every Junior High Schoolers feeling…then every high schoolers feeling and then…every person in the workforce’s feeling…then every person that Jack Kevorkian visits feeling…
236. Paper Planes: MIA- How in the world did this crap make it? And how did it score so high? This is just mind boggling.
237. I Feel A Whole Lot Better: The Byrds-Not a bad song. Not sure why it made the list or is this high.
238. Everyday: Buddy Holly- A great example of Holly’s studio genius.
239. I Got a Woman: Ray Charles- Ray Charles rewrote old gospel songs. Wish I’d have thought of that…anything out there without a copyright nowadays?
240. Planet Rock- Afrika Bambaataa- This belongs in the Star Wars cantina.
241. I Fall to Pieces: Patsy Cline- The Tigers theme song every August since 2006.
242. Son of a Preacher Man: Dusty Springfield- One of those rare instances of a white Euro girl sounding like a black American
243. The Wanderer: Dion- Ted Kennedy’s theme before he got remarried.
244. Stand!: Sly and the Family Stone- A civil rights anthem
245. Rocket Man: Elton John- Put this with Bowie’s Space Oddity and you have rock sci-fi.
246. Love Shack: B-52’s- The love shack burnt down a few years back.
247. Gimme Some Lovin’: Spencer Davis Group- This bombards the senses.
248. Higher and Higher: Jackie Wilson- Another Jackie Wilson tune.
249. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down: The Band- A Civil War rock song…about the end of the Old South….written by a Canadian!
250. Hot Fun in the Summertime: Sly and the Family Stone- One of those all time summer songs that (ironically) got released as kids went back to school.
