        I’d say this is the best version, and a very useful one at that

      Aww, thank you very much for this comment, which not only has “time” in the title but is actually pretty timeless, beyond any meme value. Jim Croce even has several songs that have outlived his generation, such as “I Got a Name.” Those are exactly the songs I was referring to - the ones that, decades later, continue to reach new audiences through movie soundtracks and such.

    Off the top of my head, and of course these are completely subjective, I just think of songs that still feel relevant or still reflect a popular attitude today. Feel free to agree or not.

    You’re So Vain by Carly Simon

    Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band

    Piano Man by Billy Joel

    Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine

    Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

    To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.

    I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
