the one and only song

Beethoven being a sexy beast

If I had to listen to one song for the rest of my entire life, I'd pick Beethoven's 9th Symphony.  Not because I listen to it all the time or anything, but because it's an epic battle song that people haven't gotten tired of for like 200 years.   200 years!  I mean, if it can stand that test of time, then I can certainly listen to it for a couple of decades.

Another nice thing about it is that it has no lyrics that will get old or repetitive to annoy me.  I mean, let's face it, the lyrics we hear now are probably going to be old in 10 years (aside from the Sinatras of our generation - if there are any).  Lyrics won't get stuck in my head, which is always a good thing.

Because it has no lyrics and it's like classical music, I can easily tune out of the symphony if I wanted to.  But that's only a good thing if I have to listen to the song on repeat forever - if not, I guess I could just turn off my iPod or whatever I'm listening with.

But I really hope I don't have to listen to only one song for the rest of my life.  Well, actually, I'm pretty sure I don't have to.  Instead, I get to listen to awesome bands like Foo Fighters, Panic at the Disco, the Civil Wars, and so on and so forth.  B)
