Sixteen Tons (1946), timeless lyrics.
As relevant today as ever
Tribute - Tenacious D
Sadly not as good as the original.
That is why it’s a tribute.
Let’s be real, there’s only ever gonne be one song that’s never gonna give us up, let us down or desert us.
Time in a bottle - jim croce
Aww, thank you very much for this comment, which not only has “time” in the title but is actually pretty timeless, beyond any meme value. Jim Croce even has several songs that have outlived his generation, such as “I Got a Name.” Those are exactly the songs I was referring to - the ones that, decades later, continue to reach new audiences through movie soundtracks and such.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Time - pink floyd
Or Time - Prince
To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.
I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
Oh damn, I was going to mention this. One of my favourites :-)
Hotel california - the eagles
Off the top of my head, and of course these are completely subjective, I just think of songs that still feel relevant or still reflect a popular attitude today. Feel free to agree or not.
You’re So Vain by Carly Simon
Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band
Piano Man by Billy Joel
Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
Beatles songs like Yesterday seem to have held up pretty well.
Badfish by Sublime
Someone already mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus, so I’m going to go with …
Heart - Crazy On You
For when the world is going to shit, so all that’s left is to get it on and fuck your woes goodbye
Happy birthday.
Liquido - narcotic
I don’t think I ever knew the name of this song, even though everyone knows it, of course. Thank you so much!
Same goes for me :) now you go and pass it to the next person
I’ll definitely do that—just like Blur’s “Song 2”
Haha that one I’ve known for ages but never knew the title. Uno reverse
The Entertainer.
1902, 124 years old. Scott Joplin.
