[NaturalDisaster]

You found an approved definition to validate this claim yet? Or do you just enjoy being wrong?

I enjoy making you melt.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Dud = Otis Rush - I Can't Quit You Baby.
For:

5 votes = David Seville - Witch Doctor. (I'm a sucker for novelty songs.)
4 votes = Easybeats - She's So Fine.
3 votes = The Dixie Cups - Iko Iko.
2 votes = Nina Simone - Sinnerman.
1 vote = Ella Fitzgerald - It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got That Swing.) (Ella could scat really well.)

HM =

David Rose - The Stripper. (I can't take it seriously.)
The Surfaris - Wipe Out. (Sorry I couldn't reciprocate GreyCrow but I hope the HM is ample enough.)
Henry Mancini - Baby Elephant Walk. (Reminds me of Billy Brownless.)
Chuck Berry - Sweet Little Sixteen. (Surfin' USA and Bobby Rydell - Kissing Time are melodically comparable.)
Dean Martin - Ain't That a Kick in the Head.
Fred Bongusto - Amore Fermati. (I feel I've heard it somewhere but don't know where.)
Dusty Springfield - I Want To Be With You. (And here I thought it was originally Annie Lennox with The Tourists.)
Gerry and the Pacemakers - Ferry Cross the Mersey.

Cheers.

I enjoy making you melt.

i.e. a weak response because you checked the definition of music and now realise you're wrong.

 

[Noobz0r]

I enjoy making you melt.

[vanders]

Crazy how as soon as The stripper and wipeout started playing I knew exactly what they related to. I couldn't have told you the artist or song title beforehand with a gun held to my head. Reason 764367 that music is the best

 

[raskolnikov]

Really surprised at the Billies for that Buddy Holly track. A posthumous track for his new bride, a genuine classic.

Yeah, I just didn't feel that one for whatever reason.
