Mr Nice GuyWhat is the world's most popular song?
January 17th 2011 20:06
Yes, everyone knows the words, and yes it probably deserves its mantle - but I'm talking radio, movies, 45s, 78s, phonogragh, CDs, downloads - mainstream popular music - everyone from The Andrews Sisters Michael Jackson, Simon and Garfunkel to Glenn Miller, Lady Ga Ga to Bill Haley.
A few friends put forward the following candidates the other day as contenders for the title - but to be honest - I'm not so sure.
In no particular order, five they came up with were;
1) Yesterday by The Beatles
2) Jailhouse Rock by Elvis
3) Imagine by John Lennon
4 ) Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys
5) Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
So by all means - sing Happy Birthday to your hearts' content, and while you're doing it come up with a few of your personal choices.
