All right. But I'm not challenging anyone else. I've been tagged twice, so I will go ahead and do it...note that I'm gauging these songs as the songs I'm most likely to be so totally into on the radio that I will cease to notice anyone else's presence and will begin singing at the top of my lungs, weeping, emoting, and perhaps all of the above. There are more, but these are off the top of my head.

List your 6 favorite songs (since I'm not challenging anyone, I'm going to do 12):

1. Norman Greenbaum -- Spirit in the Sky
2. Santana -- Oye Como Va
3. Roberta Flack -- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
4. CCR -- I Heard It Through The Grapevine
5. Simon & Garfunkel -- Scarborough Fair/Canticle
6. Bread -- If
7. Gordon Lightfoot -- Time in a Bottle
8. Blood, Sweat & Tears -- And When I Die
9. John Denver -- Annie's Song
10. Rolling Stones/Bette Midler -- Beast of Burden
11. Patsy Cline -- Crazy
12. Joe Cocker -- You Are So Beautiful

I know I'm dating myself, here. I do like a lot of popular music, classical, country, etc. also. But nobody asked for my Top 100 and I'm not sure I'd comply with a request :-p Any well considered list would also contain Cat Stevens and Jim Croce and a lot of bands, but I restrained myself. I hope this turns somebody on to listen to some oldies, though, and really listen to the lyrics. Some songs are dreck, but some are real poetry. For something completely different, try the Johnny Cash version of the Roberta Flack song, or the Marvin Gaye version of "Grapevine". Of course, I'm probably preaching to the choir.

Here's your special gift for playing...

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like a mountain in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Now I'm going to ruin all the sweetness and light by telling you that at camp we used to sing this song as "You fill up my senses, like a skunk in the forest, like a snake in the bathtub, like hair in the drain... like mosquitoes and chiggers, like severe poison ivy... you fill up my senses, don't do it again."
