I think we all agree that we are probably thinking of performances and recordings.

I wasn't, and I will continue posting my favorite songs in the favorite song thread! So there!

Okay. You misunderstand me, I know you are liable to post your 20 favorite songs. I was thinking of the rest of us.

That sounds like the movie I just reviewed: SHE DIES TOMORROW. People become convinced they will die tomorrow. The feeling spreads like a virus.

"Ain't No Sunshine" is a great choice. I might have picked it.

2. "Midnight Special"

The best prison song, at least for many years... the Credence version is OK but I prefer Leadbelly. He made it famous and recorded it many times with different arrangements and slightly different lyrics.

That song just.. jams! I remember singing this perfectly in Reno on stage once for karaoke.. the crowd went wild and the DJ who knew the song was thrilled!
