Today I played Elvis Presley's LP Suspicious Minds and I was very impressed again by the song In The Ghetto. I thought "This got to be the best song ever!". Right, but how to define the best song ever? If I would create a poll including every song ever recorded, it would result only some ridiculous percentages and statistics about opinions. So I thought if somebody can name a better song than I just did, and somebody can name even better song than that, and so on, it will eventually lead to The Best Song Ever that everybody agrees! Right? Last song of the chain just have to be the best song, it's even provable by induction then! For example: 2 is bigger than 1, 4 is bigger than 2, 5 > 4, 7 > 5, 10 > 7,... will lead to the biggest number ever! So, name a better song than Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto |

Cool, man! But Paul Anka - Put Your Head on My Shoulder is better than Orup - Min mor sa till mig! |

Should we all agree on these? Because the best song ever (and thus better than the ones above) is Morrissey - Seasick, Yet Still Docked |

Psh. I've never heard of that, so how good can it be?
Now, I think we'd need something classic that's been handed through the ages...like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat!" You can't argue with years of vacationing children! ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

Basically, you name a song better than the one the last person just posted. The idea is that eventually, we'll list a song so good, that no one can top it, and we'll have the best song ever.
Once again, I fail to know that song, so it can't be as good as "Waterloo" by ABBA. That's a pretty decent song, surely you must agree. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

Exactly! And Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary is definitely a better song than Abba - Waterloo! |

Okay, so "Ring of Fire" is pretty good, but is it as good as Lordi's "Would You Love a Monsterman?" I don't think so. That's, like, the best song ever. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

"Waving My Dick in the Wind" by Ween. Catchy as hell.

Nah, always more of a Mortal Kombat man; thought it was classic Ninja Gaiden actually.
Oh, and, uh...any twelve bar blues. Any of them. Is automatically better than that. 'Cause twelve bar blues beats everything. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we...

The best song ever is Motorhead's Ace of Spades. I've named it Willie !

Psh. Iron Maiden's "Aces High" TOTALLY crushes "Ace of Spaces." ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |

"The moon touches your shoulder" could be a contender... also that "Where Am I Going" song at the end of volume I from Manfred Mann's Chapter Three. ------------- ˇBeware of the Bee! |

| OK, let's end this. The best song ever, and I think we all agree on this one, is Ella Fitzgerald's "It's Only a Paper Moon", the spectacular account of love, beauty, existence, escapism, metaphysical subjectivism and several other things that I find too obvious to list. |

Maybe, but have you given it a cool name like Willie ? Actually the best song is La Villa Strangiato, Riff Raff, Haul Away, Let There Be Rock, Let There Be Rock, Interview, Bele Bele Petite Chevre, and Toronto Tontos. Oh and Loneliest Creature. I have named them Billy, Joe , Jim, Bob, Lee, Lou, Claude, Carl, and Hypoernomeuous. ------------- "Here I am talking to some of the smartest people in the world and I didn't even notice,” Lieutenant Columbo, episode The Bye-Bye Sky-High I.Q.
