    This question occurred to me on my way home from work last night.

    If there was one song that you wish you had written, what would it be? For me, it's Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon and Garfunkel. It just gets me every time.

    I don't know about "written", but if I had the publishing rights to "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones, I'd be rich....First Microsoft used it for their Windows 95 ad campaign, now Ford is using it in their commercials...

    I guess I'd like to have written the most recorded song in the world:
    Yesterday.

    The Star Spangled Banner


    Do Francis Scott Key's heirs get royalties for the fact the song is sung before every American sporting event?

    Talk about a sweet side income!

    Wow, all the guys are about the money, aren't you? :D

    I meant artistically, not for the publishing rights!

    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

    Very, very cool song. Contains a few subleties that I don't think many notice.
