I used to think of the helicopter landing in Full Metal Jacket when I heard "The Bird". Now I will have a new visual memory. I really enjoyed that guy dancing, that was special.

I played this song for my grandson when he was just a year old and he loved it and actually would sing with it.

I bought this song on iTunes 3 or 4 years ago. I don't have it in any playlists, it's just in my song library. I love it when I'm shuffling my entire song list and this one up up. Dime it and smile Big Grin

Layla.

A seven minute song that went on about five minutes too long.

November Rain is another one. Great tune, but really? 9+ minutes? Just stop already.

I guess, but if you listen to the album version of this song with headphones or on a quality stereo system, McCartney's bass playing chops will hit you like a hammer. This recording isn't good enough to experience it.

Ooh, good call. That one is just plain awful.

Here is another one that starts out good, but over half of its ~4 minutes is the same repeated lyric.

You beat me to it. Hair Of The Dog was the first song that came to mind as I read the title of this thread. Very aggressive use of the cowbell as well!
