Good VibrationsThe Beach Boys

This is the Beach Boys’ biggest hit.

Their outstanding choral work really shines.

It’s said they spent 90 hours recording and then edited it down, finally producing a three-and-a-half-minute master tape for this three-and-a-half-minute song—clear proof of their tireless effort.

It’s a hit number by the Beatles.

Among their many up-tempo songs, I chose this bright and comical one.

The opening piano is modeled after a British jazz number, and the saxophone solo in the interlude involves the renowned player Ronnie Scott—making it a song with many jazz-related anecdotes.

Crashed The WeddingBusted

An upbeat pop-punk tune that tells a bold story about crashing a wedding.

Released by the British band Busted in November 2003, the song draws inspiration from films like The Graduate and Wayne’s World 2, and is notable for its humorous twists.

With a catchy melody paired with energetic guitar work, its brisk tempo really stands out.

Issued as the lead single from the album A Present for Everyone, it topped the UK Singles Chart.

The playful music video is another highlight, featuring the band members taking on multiple roles.

It’s a feel-good track that also works great as background music for workouts or sports.
