What is your ALL time favorite song?

Long live the queen.

yeah, Megadeth has some great songs.
They express a lot of political and conspiracy views in them, and just plain rock!
I almost got to go see them live once, but missed out due to other responsibilities...which SUX, cause even now, in my 30's I love to blast out Megadeth tunes and bother my neighbors sometimes...Although headbanging hurts my neck these days...lol Makes me sore :bnghd:
I must be getting old.

Its a two way tie for me. Margaritaville, and Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude.

Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude:

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year.
All of the faces and all of the places,
wonderin' where they all disappeared.
I didn't ponder the question too long;
I was hungrey and went out for a bite.
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum,
and we wound up drinkin' all night.

It's those changes in latitudes,
changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same.
With all of our running and all of our cunning,
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes;
Nothing remains quite the same.
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands,
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been.
Visions of good times that brought
so much pleasue
makes me want to go back again.
If it suddenly ended tomarrow,
I could somehow adjust to the fall.
Good times and riches and son of a bitches,
I've seen more than I can recall...(to chorus)

I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine;
I wish I could jump on a plane.
And so many nights I just dream of the ocean.
God, I wish I was sailin' again.
Oh, yesturdays are over my shoulder,
So I can't look back for too long.
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me,
and I know that I just can't go wrong
with these...(to chorus)


Margaritaville:



Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp--
They're beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason,
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tatoo.
But it's a real beauty,
A Mexican cutie, how it got here
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
Now I think,-- hell it could be my fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame, And I know it's my own damn fault

Ah, Jimmy Buffet. How about Come Monday, Cheeseburger in Paradise or Why don't we get drunk and sc..w?

All great songs, but be a mighty long post if I put all my favourite Buffet songs down.

Bob Marley - Redemption Song

"...Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but oursleves can free our minds,
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them are gonna stop the time,

How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look,
Some say it's just a part of it,
We've got to fulfill the book...

Won't you hear to sing,
Another song of freedom,
'Cause all I ever had,
Is Redemption Songs"

A truly inspiring, and uplifting song.

Mine has to be "sick of man" by Cold,here's the lyrics

"Sick Of Man"

Gave all the vampires back
To God that day
No one got raped here
But the pains still inside
I'll never love you
But I've got words to say
No one betrayed here
But the memories lie
I said don't go away
Turned off the lights and then you
Said please don't follow me
And you cared

You stole my passion
Burned my everything
There all the same here
Locked up change deep inside
I'll never love you
But I've got words to say
You killed the feeling
But the pain's still alive

I said don't go away
Turned off the lights and then you
Said please don't follow me
And you cared

You kept your feelings hidden
Like a psycho
Burned it all down
Take me with you
Won't you let me go

So sick of man

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty

drivin' faster in my car
falling farther from just what we are
smoke a cigarette and lie some more
these conversations kill
falling faster in my car

time to take her home
her dizzy head is conscience laden
time to take a ride
it leaves today no conversation
time to take her home
her dizzy head is conscience laden
time to wait too long
to wait too long
these conversations kill

to much walkin', shoes worn thin
too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
time to catch a ride
it leaves today, her name is what it means
to much walkin', shoe's worn thin

I have lots of faves, but this one stops me in my tracks and makes sing, the original was done by Air Supply, but I love the reggae version by Ghost better. His voice just makes this song amazing!!!!!!

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where I find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where I touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know the time�s gonna fly
And I�m never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I�ve got to give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to pain
I know all the rules and then I know how to break�em
And then I always know the name of the game

But I don�t know how to leave you
And I�ll never let you fall
And I don�t know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all
Making love
Out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you, well the rays of the sun are all
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it�s lost
And it�s looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the deep of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright
I gotta follow it �cause everything I know
Well, it�s nothing �till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
And I can make all the stadiums rock

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that�s ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I�m never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl ?
And I�m never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Making love
Out of nothing at all...

Johhny Cash - One (U2 cover)

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
If youve got someone to blame

You said one love
One life
When its one need
In the night
One love we get to share it
It leaves you baby if you dont care for it

Did i disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgivness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play jesus
To the lepors in your head

Did i ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing now
Its all i got
We're one but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other and we're doin it again

You said love is a temple
Love the higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law

You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
I cant be holdin on
To what youve got
When all youve got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
Youve got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sister
Brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

written by Justmytype

I'll add a mpg someday but here are the lyrics:

Wish I may, Wish I might,
Make everything, be all right
Once we where, Now were not
Just cutting at each others heart

Can we fix, will you try
Or should I, just say goodbye
I love you, this much is true
But your respect is over due

Will you try or should I go
At this point, I just don�t know
If I may, say too you
Remember this, �I do�

It�s a bond, we both had taken
To protect, what we held so sacred
My love for you and you to me
Until we were old and crotchety

So now this dream, is in your hands
Make your decision or make immense
Come home to me and be my wife
Or hit the road and get on with your life

Wish I may, Wish I might,
Make everything, be all right
Once we where, Now were not
Just cutting at each others heart

I just remembered of one of my true ALL time favorite song, and I know it will always stays one of my favorite. The more I think about it, the more I think it might be the most favorite song of me.

It's Intergalactic from the Beastie Boys. Best song ever.

Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic
Another Dimension, Another Dimension

Well Now don't you tell me to smile
You stick around I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style profile I said
It always brings me back when I hear Ooh Child
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon til the very last mile
If you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall you've got guile
To step to me I'm a rapophile
If you want to battle your in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

Jazz and Awol that's our team
Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats well I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well I got to keep it going keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
On the tough guy style I'm not too keen
To try to change the world I will plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean
Gonna shine like a sun beam
Keep on rapping cause that's my dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for sticking to themes
When it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine
Another dimension new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

From the family tree of old school hip hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes will spread just like a pox
Cause the music is live like an electric shock
I am known to do the Wop
Also known for the Flintstone Flop
Tammy D getting biz on the crop
Beastie Boys known to let the beat... drop
When I wrote graffiti my name was Slop
If my rap's soup my beats is stock
Step from the tables as I start to chop
I'm a lumber jack DJ Adrock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock

Another dimension do it

Agreed, but the best version of this is from the soundtrack to the movie, The Song Remains The Same.

Wow, I think I might have to listen to it right now! As Robert Plant says in the live version, "This is a song of hope".

Today by the Smashing Pumpkins

Drift Away. the doby grey version not the uncle craker one.

i don't feel like typing da lyrics now, though.
