My favourite Bobby Darin...
sorry for the thread hijack....as you were.”
It would be Beyond The Sea for me - I've always liked the song, but when my childhood BFF died it was the last song played at his funeral....it always makes me think of him, now (in a good way).

Wow...some of the best songs ever among those choices! I feel sorry you don't like such great songs!
Wake Up Boo - The Boo Radleys. Just pisses me off with its twee jolliness.
Elvis - The Wonder of You.
I think any song that has become a spontaneous crowd singalong such as that or Hey Jude and the like get up my nose. Plenty have been mentioned.
The songs played by cover bands who are completely lacking in imagination:
Wishing Well
Can't Get Enough
Summer of 69
Sweet Home Alabama
Highway to Hell
Whiskey in the Jar
Songs played by DJs with no imagination when they are confronted with a room full of people aged 40+:
Brown Eyed Girl
Build Me Up Buttercup
Don't Stop Me Now
Mustang Sally

I like The Wonder of You and don't think that's as much of a crowd singalong but agree about Hey Jude
I'm a Beach Boys fan, but my heart sinks when the radio DJ says 'we've got the Beach Boys next, with an all-time classic', because I just know it's going to be bl**dy Good Vibrations. Yes it's a good song and cleverly written, but give it a rest, eh? The BB's did do other, better songs that rarely see daylight.

A cracking song, based on Charles Trenet's original. It's a toss-up which is better, I suppose it depends what mood you're in. And Bobby Darin's 'Artificial Flowers' is another stormer.
