    Not sure it counts but Toto’s song Africa has an installation in Africa, powered by solar panels and batteries and it’s played in an endless loop.

    The Song That Never Ends.

    Timeless in more ways than one. 😌

      Aww, thank you very much for this comment, which not only has “time” in the title but is actually pretty timeless, beyond any meme value. Jim Croce even has several songs that have outlived his generation, such as “I Got a Name.” Those are exactly the songs I was referring to - the ones that, decades later, continue to reach new audiences through movie soundtracks and such.

      I don’t think I ever knew the name of this song, even though everyone knows it, of course. Thank you so much!

    Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA

    CCR - Fortunate Son

    Twisted Sister - We’re Not Gonna Take It

    RATM - Killing In the Name

    The Holy Quad of songs that were written for one opinion and will forever be utilized and replayed by those who don’t get it but think it’s speaking to them.

    There’s ice cream vans round my ends that still play Green Sleeves, so probably that. I really don’t get how that piece has been so popular for so long, it’s seriously fucking creepy and gross sounding.
