I love this song and always had a secret ambition to be a singer and dancer.. this song always brings a smile to my face and great memories to my mind.
She is no Grace Slick but she does a fine job on one of my all time favorites.

Some guy serenaded me with this song and a guitar years ago and I've fallen in love with it every since (but unfortunately not to the boy). Everytime I hear it on the radio I'll turn it up loud and sing along! It never gets old.
I could not find an mpg but you can listen to their music on their page.

For me it is Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. Why? I don't know. Except that it was one of those songs that I could never hear enough when I was young and even as an adult when I hear it I think "Awesone song!"
In a wierd way this song marks the beginning my emotional life and would be a fitting swan song.
Don't Stop Believin'
Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight peopleD
I can't think of one right off hand, but here's a favorite of Hula dancers that might fit the bill.
He Aloha Mele (Iva Kinimaka)
He aloha mele, pretty hoku
Sending down a special little twinkle
For your lovely brown eyes
Pretty lovely brown eyes
In the still of the night all the stars
Are shining bright for your brown eyes
He aloha mele lohe i ka makani
Gentle breeze whispering haunting memories to you softly
Whisper to you softly
Hear the winds through the trees
Whisper sweet harmonies yo you softly
Chorus:
With the grace of her hands
She can tell you that a star only glitters
At the setting of the sunset
With the grace of her hands
She can tell you that the wind only blows
Where no mountain side is there to touch her
Now there's the sun and the moon talking stories
Telling tales about a new day
It's gonna be a nice day
Now the moon shines bright and the sun will
Rise again to start a new day

I love Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen. Look at this fantastic amateur performance!
My "favorites" change from day to day! If I'm driving down an open road on a hot summer day, I'll crank up Smooth (Napster) by Santana; if I'm sitting home alone on a Friday night, I'll bring up Romeo and Juliet (Napster) by Dire Straits. And for a fourth of July party, bring on the oldies: Room to Move (Napster) by John Mayall, or Fun, Fun, Fun (Napster) by the Beach Boys. Favorites are many and various!
But a secondary, interesting question is: What song best represents who you are? Put a bit morbidly, what would you want played at your memorial service?
Yes, this song has it all.
