  5. I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
    I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need.
    I love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do
    I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on a new beginning.
    A reason for living. A deeper meaning.
    I want to stand with you on a mountain.
    I want to bathe with you in the sea.
    I want to lay like this forever.
    Until the sky falls down on me

  13. "Disarm" by Smashing Pumpkins comes to mind. But you're asking an awful lot to narrow it down to one.

  17. There was this song when I was a senior in high school that had some lyrics that were occasionally misheard as, "and I would beat off a guy, I would beat off a guy". Not necessarily my absolute favorite but there have been some good remixes of it over the last two decades. lol.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ha, or better question, how old are you?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Doug E Fresh and the get fresh crew - 'The Show'

  25. It would have been an Oasis song, but I changed my mind about my favorite every week. Maybe Supersonic held first place most often?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Surrender by Cheap Trick and Slide by Slave

    ReplyDelete
  27. I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick or Total Eclipse of the Heart cuz I wasn't into 2000s pop but was clearly still an emotional teen lol

    ReplyDelete
  28. This should prove that I am the oldest CDAN Poster on this site!

    “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” (1970)

    I hated High School. But, I was in from 1970 to 1974.

    And during that time, I thought "Baba O'Riley" by The Who was about being in high school.

    (I know, I was such a dumb-ass!)

  29. So. Central Rain - REM

    1. Awesome choice, Dena— SCR is my favorite REM song by far. My high school choice was “Everybody Hurts” ... because adolescence. 😂

    2. I get you! Over the summer I listened to the R U TALKIN’ REM RE:ME podcast and it’s crazy how unintelligible the lyrics were on their early albums...still the best of the lot, though, imo.

  34. I think Boo has us all beat Jim.

  35. +1 to Boo. Anyhow Pennsylvania 6-5000 was the real phone number of the hotel that is directly across the street from Madison Square Garden and i think was called the Pennsylvanian hotel in 1940 when the song was written by Glenn Miller. I knew it and stayed in it on bad nights as the Statler Hilton and I have no idea what it is now, but I'm certain its still there, remodeled.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes ... still there.
    It’s a go to for locals who don’t want to get ona train or want to party pre/post concert (MSG)

  37. Prisoner of Society by The Living End.

    Man, I loved those guys. Still do. Their live shows are always gold.

    ReplyDelete
  38. +1 Tricia

    I tried out for Jeopardy there once. I passed but they never called . Too ugly for television, I assume.

  46. She’s got that Vibe by R Kelly. It plays and my friends from high school still say ‘this is Susie’s song!’

  50. High school was four years, how could I have just one favorite song?

    Maybe it was something like Girl You Want by Devo or This Wreckage by Gary Numan. There was so much good and innovative movie back then.

    I also discovered David Bowie in those year, pre-Let's Dance and I owuld play the heck out of any David Bowie album I could get my hands on, most of which didn't come out when I was in high school, so far as I'm aware. Our library had a copy of The Man Who Sold The World and this double album, (was it?) of a bunch of novelty songs Bowie recorded before becoming Bowie, stuff like The Laughing Gnome, Tony Day, and those other pre-Bowie songs, had a really cool cartoon cover.

    Anyway, there cannot just be one favorite from that era.

  51. I graduated in 1985 and became a club DJ. In high school I was deep into Blondie, Culture Club, Duran Duran, and the Police. Amongst many, many others, but two songs stick out for me and that would be "Heart of Glass" by Blondie and "Save a Prayer" by Duran Duran.

    Ah, those were the days, the best in music.

  52. Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms
