Here is a new segment that I've been thinking a lot about; some of my favorite songs, with an explanation of why I love it. Often times the song in question will be a very narrative piece, and in that case most of my article will be describing the story within the music. It's purely subjective and I will be diving in all sorts of genres, these are my favorite tracks after all.To keep my first post fairly simple, I'm going to go with one of the best known singles by the pop-punk band The Cars, "My Best Friend's Girl," released way back in 1978. I'm sure some would question this choice, and the song itself isn't really that great. It tells the tale of a man's ex who started dating his best friend. The main line of the chorus sums it all up: "She's my best friend's girl, but she used to be mine." Simple 70s pop.
