Can you really have just a single favourite song?

Personally I don't think so, but I'll throw in The Wallflowers 'One Headlight' so that I post something!!

As usual can't stuff a quart into a pint pot but a song that I've always liked from year dot which reminds me of fun loving bright and breezy summer days everytime I hear it....

I can see clearly now,.... Johnny Nash
