Stairway to heaven is a damn good song but I think it's been hyped so much that it's losing some of it's dignity,

Okay, so lemme get this right. We're not talkin' about best songs; we're talkin' about favorite recordings. (That's "favorite; no "u" hih). Hm, I still can't choose. It's hard for me to sift thru 110 years of releases. Awright, at this very moment? ..It's up between Billy Eckstine's "I Apologize," Pink's "Get This Party Started," and the Theme From "The Ren & Stimpy Show." jk. I really can't decide. Hih, ya'd think w/all my lists, I'd be able to put at least 100 titles together. I guess I think there's just too vast a list for me to even begin to tackle my favorites. Let's just say it's the original recording of "The Nutopian International Anthem" and call it at that.

Best song of all time,best this or best that. You sing and write what ya do and people get it or they don't. And the taste in music can go a 100 different ways and should.

I hold her tight
I lost my love,

Oh where oh where

Last Kiss
Oh where oh where
Can my baby be?
The lord took her
Away from me
She's gone to heaven
So I have to be good
So I can see my baby
When I leave this world
We were out on a date
In my daddy's car
We hadn't driven
Very far
There in the road,
Straight ahead,
A car was stalled
The engine was dead
I couldn't stop
So I swerved
To the right
I'll never forget
The sound that night
The screaming tires,
Bustin' glass,
The painful scream
That I heard last
Oh where oh where
Can my baby be?
The lord took her
Away from me
She's gone to heaven
So I have to be good
So I can see my baby
When I leave this world
When I woke up
The rain was pourin' down
There were people
Standing all around
Something warm runnin'
Through my eyes,
But somehow
I found my baby
That night
I lifted her head
She looked at me and said,
"Hold me darlin'
Just a little while."
I held her close
I kissed her
Our last kiss
I found the love
That I knew I had missed
Well, now she's gone,
Even though
I hold her tight
I lost my love,
