Darude - Sandstorm
Sixteen Tons (1946), timeless lyrics.
As relevant today as ever
Tribute - Tenacious D
Sadly not as good as the original.
That is why it’s a tribute.
Let’s be real, there’s only ever gonne be one song that’s never gonna give us up, let us down or desert us.
The Song That Never Ends.
Timeless in more ways than one. 😌
Yes it goes on and on my friend
Time in a bottle - jim croce
Aww, thank you very much for this comment, which not only has “time” in the title but is actually pretty timeless, beyond any meme value. Jim Croce even has several songs that have outlived his generation, such as “I Got a Name.” Those are exactly the songs I was referring to - the ones that, decades later, continue to reach new audiences through movie soundtracks and such.
Hotel california - the eagles
Time - pink floyd
Or Time - Prince
Badfish by Sublime
Stairway To Heaven
Morning Dew
Suspicious Minds
Three Little Birds
Beethoven’s Fifth
The Washington Post March
Off the top of my head, and of course these are completely subjective, I just think of songs that still feel relevant or still reflect a popular attitude today. Feel free to agree or not.
You’re So Vain by Carly Simon
Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band
Piano Man by Billy Joel
Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.
I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
Oh damn, I was going to mention this. One of my favourites :-)
Bohemian Rhapsody
Happy birthday.
Not sure if it counts but Toto’s song Africa has an installation in Africa, powered by solar panels and batteries and it’s played on an endless loop.
I don’t care what song it is, if the place I worked at played one song on an endless loop, by the end of the day I would run screaming from the building. Think about it - you’d be hearing that song in your sleep.
