You’re definitely onto something about 3:16! “Waterloo Sunset,” “Faith,” “You Ought To Be With Me,” “Frontwards,” “Never Said,” “Talk Talk,” Adam Ant’s “Prince Charming” and (sorry) Missing Persons’ “Mental Hopscotch.”<BR/><BR/>I think there’s a strong case for 2:26, starting with “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” “Crosstown Traffic,” “Box Elder,” “Teenage Kicks,” “Rise Above,” “Mr. Sandman”…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
