(10,928 posts)2. I have a long list of favorites like....
Planet Claire, My Private Idaho, 52 Girls, Rock Lobster, Quiche Lorraine....I could go on and on.
Love Shack got a little too overplayed in my opinion but I still do love it and I'm glad they used it. It fits the bill!!

(22,337 posts)25. Roam is one of my favorite songs ever! So JOYOUS! Also love....
Channel Z, Summer of Love, Love Shack, Deadbeat Club.
Saw them at a little club in NYC, and at bigger venues as they grew more popular..
One time my sis and I got to CBGB's too late to get in (packed!). It was summer, kind of hot, and sticky - but we could hear them from outside so we stayed.
So fun!
