For some reason, an inordinate number of songs about time — or with the word “time” in their title, at least, or in the key lyrics — are among the best. They are among my favorite songs, that is; which is, of course (from my perspective), the same thing as the best songs.
Without further ado or adieu or adon’t, here’s the list:
Time - Hootie and the Blowfish
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
Time Machine – Grand Funk
Time of the Season - The Zombies
Time Passages - Al Stewart
Bad Time – Grand Funk
Born on the Wrong Side of Time – Taste (featuring Rory Gallagher)
Didn’t I Blow Your Mind This Time – Delfonics
I’ve Been a Long Time Leavin’ – Roger Miller
Time Is Tight - Booker T & the MGs
Long Time - Boston
...and, last but not least (well, maybe it is):
Scarborough - Simon & Garfunkel
