From my second-most favorite Fleetwood Mac album of the same name. It seemed like virtually every school marching band in the US was eventually required to use this song in their repertoire.

It's pretty rare for me to like an entire album, but Right Said Fred's "Up" is just an amazing range of good music & I highly recommend giving it a whirl if you ever have the chance.

Something I think most of us can identify with.

I could not find an official video for this, so this was the best alternative out of the roughly dozen or so that I tried. I can only guess the reason is that this was their very first single, and nobody expected it to become the smash hit it was. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong as I'm just a casual music enjoyer, not any kind of knowledgeable expert.

There's been a number of remixes of this in the nearly 15 years since release, but my favorite drastically different take on this has to be when they played live at The Hollywood Bowl.

If I had to compile a list of my all time favorite songs, this would be a serious contender for the top spot. I can't tell you why exactly except for the fact it virtually never fails to get me going.

There are numerous alternate edits out there, and IMHO they all suck because they screw up the flow of the original album version (which is what I've linked to instead of the official video). If it weren't for cassette tapes (and later digital), I'd probably have completely ruined my copy of the LP playing this song.

The very last line really made this song.

Okay - I admit I don't really listen to this all that often (definitely calls for a certain type of headspace), but it has been stuck in my brain ever since I came across it many years ago because I've yet to find a song with a longer title (and c'mon - it's Pink Floyd!).

I'm a sucker for good extended versions and remixes, too. If I had the time to mod, I'd make a community for them.
