The Perfect Pop Song

[Sancho Panza]

One choice only. What single do Bouncers consider to be pop perfection?
The correct answer is, of course, Be My Baby by the Ronettes.
From Hal Blaine's drum intro, it's 2 minutes 41 seconds that have never been bettered.
Discuss.

I feel love.

Absolutely one of the greatest songs of all time, and better than anything I would call a perfect pop song. But I don’t think it’s that, personally.


I’ll go for Just can’t get enough by Depeche Mode, though the OP set a high bar.

Anarchy in the UK.

Had to opt for the Pogues after my missus vetoed this for my wedding dance.

Certain songs really lift my spirits especially when I’m an angry, humourless chunt
