It's a great song and Barry's version is weird and funny.

I don't go out to clubs but if I did I'd hope they play this song. or any Dr.Dre.

That means the cops are coming. Dirt McGirt has the best lines on this jam. It makes you want to be chased by the cops.

You would somehow need to pump yourself up. Maybe do a couple moves. Boost the self-esteem!

Just imagine if it was Yourself singing this song. Telling yourself you «Guess Your Doing Fine». A broken heart everytime.

Rod McKuen was the greatest poet of all time. The strings are so amazing on this song. They make your back hair stand up.

Ten minutes of pure heartattack. The begining would be full adrenaline when you jump, then a little in you would want something soft so you can take it all in, then heavy again.

This a great goodbye song. It would explain the moments of leaving on a plane and saying goodbye.

Seems hopeless and sad but behind it all your thinking of the next move and your opponent's next move. Plus it adds a little Texas flavor into the non-Texas feel.

This song reminds me to do very good things, that day. Be a good citizen.
a song that reminds you of school

Everyday at the same time going to school on the Yellow School Bus in 1994 this song would be on the radio. Every single day of the whole year. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of a stinky winter wet dark muggy foggy school bus.
best Beatles song
The Beatles - I Am The Walrus
Because he says «I am the Eggman». That's the best line. That's a good pick up line.
