John Lennon’s best-selling single of his solo career “Imagine” is a song that’s already transcended its own popularity. 19) “ You may say I’m a dreamer b ut I’m not the only one…” Imagine- John Lennon (1971) In times of trouble and anxiety, singing this song sure makes us feel that everything will turn out okay. Inspired by a dream McCartney had of his mother named Mary offering solace to him in his time of trouble, “Let It Be” would be the last song he would pen for the band. In addition to that, the meaning of the song not only reiterates an old Liverpudlian saying to simply “leave things alone” or “let things flow on its own”, it’s also resonant of the band’s fall out during the making of this record. Because the lyrics of the chorus just repeats the words of the title, the song as a whole isn’t hard to memorize. It can be thought of as The Beatles’ “break up song” if you may. One of The Beatles’ greatest songs of all time, “Let It Be” was the final single the fab four released as a band before Paul McCartney announced he was leaving the band for good.

That’s why it is so much fun to belt out the chorus of this song whenever we hear it, no matter where we are, or how old (or young) we get. These elements include: long and detailed musical phrases, multiple pitch changes in a song’s ‘hook’, male vocalists and higher male voices ala Freddie Mercury. It seems that “We Are The Champions” ticked off all the four key elements needed for a song to be “catchy”. Scientists have proven that this Queen classic hit is the catchiest song of all time after observing thousands of volunteers subjects sing along to a thousand songs. 21) “And we’ll keep on fighting…to the eeeeend!” We Are The Champions – Queen (1977)ĭeclared by scientific research as the most “sing-along-able” song there is, it’s no wonder why it seems everybody knows the lyrics to Queen’s 70’s rock anthem “We Are The Champions”.
