Looks like you and I are the only 'Catters with Goodie buttons, keberoxu. Maybe the others won't admit that they like pop music. LOL

I thought of this song yesterday:

Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now

Thanks keberoxu, I always wondered what that response is called. LOL

My first thought is that there are too many songs to count, and where would I start, and do you only want pop songs, but then my next thought was this:

Crowded House - Four Seasons in One Day

And this one, especially at 4 minutes into the track where you can hear the whole audience singing:

Crowded House - Fall At Your Feet (Live At Sydney Opera House)

You may disregard this entire thread if
you deny having an "Oh Goodie!" button.
No need to single you out. You know who you are. Bye bye.

The rest of us,
some commercial/pop-music performances
get our attention (they are designed to do that, after all)

by making us perk up and bark "Oh Goodie!"
like pet dogs who are well-enough-trained to know what
the human means when the human spells out W-A-L-K.

I have got one of those buttons, and it isn't hard to push it.
Maybe, what pushes my "Oh Goodie!" button is
different than what pushes yours.
Would you care to confess what, in the pop music bag-of-tricks,
pushes yours?

Me,
after all these decades
I STILL can't get enough of
"Shout!" with the Isley Brothers,
in fact most anything with the Isley Brothers will get
an "Oh Goodie!" out of me.

I'm partial, as well,
to the even earlier Mills Brothers.

What do they have in common?
Choral harmony, up-tempo beat, swinging rhythm,
and non-verbal vocalizing.

That diabolical studio producer, Nile Rodgers,
is especially good at pushing my "Oh Goodie!" button,
and one of the best examples is
the chorus on "(It's Time to Take the) Pressure Off".
