Perfect Pop Songs

I would like to take this opportunity to remind folks that the title of this thread is "PERFECT Pop Songs".......

Just sayin'.

And yes, I know perfect is in the ear of the beerholder. But come on.....

If you just want a list of pop songs, go to the Billboard Hot 100 charts

Ok, then pick between Dancing Queen and Stayin' Alive.

@glupson  - Well, since "Stayin' Alive" sucks, I'll go with "Dancing Queen".

Safe choice. And a perfect one, I guess.

I noticed some ska mentioned early on, but no reggae or rocksteady.  My nominations are:

Desmond Dekker - Israelites

Toots and the Maytals - 54-46 That’s My Number

I know the understanding is only English-language pop songs will be mentioned, BUT if anyone is curious about pop music in other languages may I humbly suggest:

Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye.  (English and Italian)

Indochine - Dizzidence Politik (French New Wave)

Elba Ramalho - Coração Brasileiro (Brazilian Portuguese, anything from this same album is a pop song winner)

And an old favorite from way back:

The Singing Nun - Dominique (French)
