What are the Most TIMELESS Songs ?

St. Phatty

Active member
I nominate,
"You are my Sunshine", written by Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell, and also one of the songs Johnny Cash is well known for.
with Jasmine Thompson -



And "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head".

Sung by B. J. Thomas, then maybe made famous in the movie "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid".
Written by Burt F. Bacharach / Hal David




I think you would also have to add -
* A Beatles Song
* Rolling Stones, "Start Me Up"

Maybe Leatherface


Any maybe Mary Poppins, Spoonful of Sugar ?

Guess it depends on your age.

I would also add, Better Call Saul uses "This is Chai" for their fairly entertaining "50% off" episode.

Though it's actually just a Japanese Young Women band, "Chai".

And the song is, "This is Chai".




AND OH YEAH
ZZ Top, Sharp Dressed Man.

UR My Sunshine

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you, in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you
And make you happy
And nothing else could come between
But if you leave me to allow another
You'll have shattered all of my dreams
You are my sunshine

My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

… Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

… So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

… But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me
… Raindrops keep falling on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
… It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
… Raindrops keep falling on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
