Members hardtdc Posted November 16, 2011 Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 You forgot "Happy Birthday" Not really. "Happy Birthday is sung by anyone without recourse for paying royalties (family events, friends at work, etc.) while the "Star Spangled Banner" is sung at sporting events that charge to attend which in turn would have to pay out royalties to use the song. Of coarse, this is all theoretical as either were written so long ago, we would be dead and be around to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brocken Jr. Posted November 20, 2011 Members Share Posted November 20, 2011 Probably Radiohead's "Reckoner". Possibly "It's The End Of The World" by R.E.M., too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sleep walk, Such a great soothing instrumental. I play both of those at my gigs. Both work well and get great response from a wide range of people. Songs as great as those never die. Another one is, "What a Wonderful World" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Beethoven's fifth symphony. Because if I could write like that, then I would be a GOD, just like Beethoven. And if I was a GOD, just like Beethoven, then I would shoot lightningbolts out of my fingers and catch all your peasant asses on fire! For no other reason, other than because I CAN! Then all of you idiots would say, "damn, that Dave dude is awesome, but he sure is an asshole." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skinsscalper Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Anything by Nuno Bettencourt. Seriously probably Bohemian Rhapsody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 "Imagine" but I'm afraid that if I had written it, not very many people would have heard it. I must be grateful to Sir Paul McCartney and his contribution to pop music that led to this song being heard and sung by billions of people worldwide.

If there is a God, Beethoven's deafness would be one of the cruelest things ever manifested. Perhaps Beethoven, as you alluded to in your post, did think he was God and had to deal with the ensuing wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrbirdman Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Still Got The Blues For You - GARY MOORE. Don't care about the royalities on that song, I just like it. Something - Beatles ( I think it was George who wrote it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timrocker Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I wish that I had written I Want To Know What Love Is. Because it seems to have a lot of staying power, you hear it on stations across the spectrum. It must have generated fortunes a-plenty by now. Also, it gets a lot of play on whatever music subscription/satellite radio the grocery stores use. It seems to have a nearly universal message. Plus, I still like it.
