Back to hard
choices, but after a day of thinking about this I came up with...
Rock & Roll
Queen - The Subways
I adore this song;
I can dance to it, sing to it and basically scream it out and I don’t care, it
just puts me in a good mood!
It's a classic for me, I think I am the only one who feels this way, but I do believe the test of a good song is that you can listen to once a month for five years and still jump up and down and feel like it's the first time you heard it.
I couldn't
find any song facts about it but I did find a Wikipedia entry which states the
following:
"Rock & Roll Queen" is a single from
the British indie rock band The Subways, from
their debut record Young For Eternity. It was featured on the hit drama The OC and is
track 1 on Music from the OC: Mix 5. It also features in British TV
advertisements for Rimmel, the movie Live Free or Die Hard,
the 2008 German movie Die Welle as well
as appearing on the soundtracks of EA Sports games Rugby 06 and FIFA Street 2. In
2008, the song appeared in the video games Saints Row 2 and Pure. The song was
also used in the trailer and nightclub scene for the film RocknRolla, in which they appear performing the
song. The single itself reached number 22 on the UK singles chart when released
on June 20, 2005.
I'll never
forget the first time I heard it; it was indeed on an episode of the OC. The
next day I went out and bought the CD first thing in the morning from Newbury
HMV. I do like all of the Subways music, it feels slightly "old school" and in
fact they have a new album out. They have gained a cult like status at the
Reading & Leeds festivals to the point where they are now Main Stage
regulars.
Oh is
currently my all time favourite ring tone!
