Perfect Pop Songs

@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)

I tried to stay away from non-English ones, but there may be more pop there than imagined.

Lambada

Macarena

99 Luftbalons

Falco output

A sincere thanks to all taking the time to respond to this. I can almost see the smile on some of your faces as I read your posts.

I'll add a song that stuck in my head as a kid.

Winchester Cathedral - The New Vaudeville Band
