Here we go again.

Here is the link to the list I am using:

en.wikipedia.org/…

Rednex, at number 93:

As I understand it, this song is a folk song, from way back when.

John Denver had a nice hit song, that sounds to me as if it was based on that folk song:

This song is a big improvement on the old folk song. Seems to me.

Gloria Estefan, at number 87:

Ah, nice.

Real McCoy, at number 69:

I do not recall hearing this version before, but the song is so great, so it holds up well, as a cover by another band.

Here is the one I do remember:

This is the first I am learning that one, or all, the band members were Native American. Interesting.

Tom Petty, at number 61:

You don't know how it feels

You don't know how it feels

No, you don't know how it feels

To be me.

We can all say that, to family, friends, and neighbors. But, that works against cultivating empathy. Seems to me. Well, moody and bluesy, any old way.

4 P. M., at number 48:

Okay, another hit that was a cover of an older hit.

Both versions are nice, to my ears.

Vanessa Williams, at number 31:

So smooth and nice.

All-4-One, at number 15:

Very nice.

Montell Jordan, at number 10:

Seems like gangster rap. Not that I know anything about all that!

Madonna, at number 8:

So sad, but so beautiful.

Real McCoy, at number 6:

Yes! That song is the real McCoy, to my ears. Great rhythm.

Seal, at number 4:

But did you know that when it snows

My eyes become large and

The light that you shine can't be seen?

That melody is so truly nice, major key, to minor key, to major key. I like it.

The lyrics are confusing, but I am looking forward to when it snows again, here in Wichita, Kansas!

Hugs!
