A perfect song? What are your choices?

"Lies", written by Beau Charles and Buddy Randell, recorded by The Knickerbockers. A scorching rocker.

"On Broadway", just one of the great songs written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Performed by The Drifters. A haunting song if there ever was one.:

Wow! a true artist of pain.

Her singing makes murder justifiable.

It's all John Lennon's fault. What was he thinking?

Sure Yoko helped him overcome the depression, distress and anger caused by McCartney's take over, but surely he could have found a more private way to thank her than give her an outlet for her particular brand of noise.

John always claimed she predated the B-52s, but I'm not sure that there's any comparison.
