20

Laid
James
1993

NOBODY saw this coming.  Not a single submission for the Top 20 picks had this one on there, and nobody even mentioned it in my various discussions leading up to this week.  Just the way I like it!

This is most definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.  Just two minutes and thirty-six seconds of unbridled joy.  The drums at the beginning and throughout. The cheeky lyrics. The high falsetto by lead singer Tim Booth in the chorus. The catchiness of the whole thing, really.  I’ve been coming back to this song for 30 years and it just never disappoints.  This is pop music perfection.

And…what’s that you say?  Chad’s Goons covered this one?  Oh yes, Chad’s Goons most definitely covered this one.  Enjoy that gem from the 1998 archives.

Nope. Just get….well, just play this one over and over. 😉
