Great call, but I actually like the Dream Academy/Ferris Bueller museum version better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1gEzv0FJNsThe Smiths- How soon is Now... and ... Please please please let me get what I want
That wasn't Carole's song though. You might be confusing it with Pleasant Valley Sunday."Daydream Believer" has got to up there close to perfection
You can't write a better chorus. More Carole King

How many hundreds of times have I heard that song, and it still stops me in my tracks every time I hear it.
Agreed. That's why I think "Wichita Lineman" applies. Written by Jimmy Webb, sung by Glen Campbell, back up musicians were his Wrecking Crew cohorts.Haven't read through the entire thread, but by "perfect" I would define it as a song that couldn't be improved by virtue of production, musicianship, or artistry.

Yeah. Not a huge fan, but I heard it the other day for the first time in a long while and thought to myself, "This is a perfect song."dudeWhat If - Coldplay
