#255. The Beatles, "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)"

Like a John Landis movie. (+3 to Shadow, +2 to nush and mckindog)
#254. Warren Zevon, "Werewolves In London"
I hate this song more than any other song that has ever been written, recorded or performed anywhere in this universe, on any planet or any dimension. I hate this song with a passion that will not die. Because it's the same chords over and over again. It's the same chords over and over again. It's the same chords over and over again. Seriously: sing it with that incessant piano riff. The one that's like a railroad spike in the forehead. It's the same chords ... o-ver ... and o-ver a-gain.
