I was trying to think what I'd post, and just skipped to the last page and saw this and was like "Oh poo poo, yeah it's that." I mean, I don't really like it that much, but it is obviously the greatest song ever.

That said, if earth had a national anthem, it should be the theme tune to Jurassic park.

I remember everything.
I remember every little thing like it happened only yesterday.
I was barely 17 and I killed a man with a fender guitar.
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratoaster
But I do know that it had a heart of chrome
and the voice of a horny angel.

I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratocaster
But I do remember it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the right power cords
and the precise angle from which to strike!

but like seriously besides eddie murphy+rick james being so adorable and that being great I think that the greatest song would have to be something from the greatest band of all time.

And that question itself is also really open, like what makes a band great?
Personally I think the greatest band (which is separate from favorite band) would have to be, not like some obscure choice but definitely popular, and have to have real staying power and be iconic across generations and there are only a few bands in that echelon...
I'd say that would have to go to the Rolling Stones... Like with how hard they went the fact they survived and put out as much varied music with as many major hits across as many time periods as they did, it's unreal and the whole time jagger kept his swagger. From them, there would be so many choices (again, greatest song not favorite) I would have to go when they were really heavier on the funk, funk being the greatest genre (and some Pfunk would be my second choice probably)
