Catchy tunes that sound great?


I thought of starting this thread after a listen to "What's Going On" by Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass today.

Sounds great! Love the arrangement! Can't get the tune out of my mind!

Is this perhaps the catchiest tune of all time?

Any others come to mind?

OK, of course the name of the tune I meant by Herb Albert is "So What's new?", not "What's Going On".

Sorry Marvin Gaye!
I listen to top 40 radio in the car with my kids sometimes.

A lot of old am radio and 45 RPM vinyl stuff actually sounds pretty good these days remastered to CD and on a good system.

Many many catchy tunes over the years.

I'll listen to almost anything once.
"It's four minutes 33 secs of silence--or rather, of ambient auditory information"

So how does it sound on a good system? Should be really really......quiet?
Oh boy, here come the old time jingles......

I would bet some of these actually sound very good remastered to CD!

How about:

Schaeffer. Is the. One beer to have when your....having more than 1!
The Carpenters stuff is a good call!

Gawdbless, I've heard a few of those...will need to check out some others.
Here's an obscure one I believe that I stumbled across recently:

"I Was Born a Winner" by Jamaican Reggae dude Freddie Mcgregor
My latest discovery that is stuck in my head is "Mr. Saxobeat" by Alexandra Stan.
Sound quality is mixed but I can't get the electronic dance tune "Tsunami" by DVBBS and Borgeous out of my head.

I first heard it in the latest Les Mills CXworx core/abs class. Had to download it. It's the second track ("plank" track).
Help. I am obsessed with Tsunami. I've played it repeatedly over the last few days.

Someone should score an orchestrated version.
