For me it's got to be "Go West".

I'd say, the five seconds of silence in between tracks takes it, though.... :)

on edit: YAY! I just joined the 700 club!!!! What do I win????
:party:

2. In The Navy and San Francisco
I love those two (especially San Francisco) but I really don't care for the rest of their songs.

5. You're Not Too Far Behind...
there are a lot of folks who can only think of "YMCA" and "Macho Man"

4. YMCA
but they're mostly great songs. Like I said in a previous Village People post however, you won't see me listening to that music in public. :scared:

6. Go West was also covered by the Pet Shop Boys...quite well, IMO.

7. To truly enjoy YMCA you have to hear it in the original Cantonese

9. I didn't have one until I saw "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the
Desert" and they played 'Go West.' I like the message:

TOGETHER!
la dee da dee da
TOGETHER!
la dee dum dee da
TOGETHER!
dum dee da dee dum
TOGETHER!
DA DA DUM DUM DE DUMM!

You know......togetherness! :-)

12. Go West is cool but bad association
Every guy who I have dated has a song associated with them. It doesn't necessarily have to be about them or my feelings. In this case, it was the song during the dance where I started feeling attraction to my date who became my ex boyfriend. I'll spare you the story, but he hates my guts now. That sort of ruined the song for me.
I like Macho Man because it is really making fun of ultra masculinity (My sister did a college research paper on this).
