The Perfect Song

sisabetMy lovely and sweet and wonderful public radio station (WRVG - I had the call letters wrong in a previous post - http://www.wrvg-fm.org/ ) was just running a retrospective of Roy Orbison. And I had to go back to my desk. Sigh. My life is hard. I'd listen to it here, but the carpet behind me flooded and they have these huge fans going now and there is no way I can hear anything at all. I can't even hear my phone ringing. As long as it doesn't mildew, I can tolerate noise. It is a kind of white noise, anyway. I'm pretending it is the ocean and I have a couple of co-workers set to "kaw-kaw" if they walk by my cubicle to give it that authentic touch. I am so very lucky that most people humor me.
Back to Roy. So I was thinking about "Pretty Woman" - did you know that song is 39 years old? How is that possible? But that wasn't my original thought, it was just an aside, my original thought was that the music in Pretty Woman is just about perfect. The guitar riffs, the drum beats - that song is very satisfying to me as a person. It is like really great pizza. Y'know - the kind of pizza that is just exactly what you want out of pizza. The kind of pizza that is in the back of your mind everytime you order (or if you are![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heres_luck make) pizza. That song does it for me. I should make a list of others. That would be fun.
Hell, tell me your perfect song. I want to know.
