I love pop songs that make being lonely sound like the greatest thing ever. Dude was a total hottie too (and OG hipster - sunglasses on at all times.)Scott Walker - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore (1966)
I found this version of Hot Chocolate's 'So You Win Again' by a South African pop band - it's amazing how much a song can reveal about itself when you strip away the sequins.

Chris Brown Syndrome in full effect – I absolutely love Ike with Tina. I really don't want to but... you know. This is their version of CCR's 'Proud Mary'. It's got a super slutty spoken word intro, and I love how in the build up you hear Tina's voice crack a bit as she sings "Rolling on a river," just from sheer restraint. Sister is chomping at the bit to let rip, and then she goes for it full throttle and it's like nothing else in the world. Listen to it loud.
