"Billy Don't Be a Hero" is on the Top 40 in hell.
To drive home the point that you've been a fool with your life.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry for damaging your love for "Escape", Teppy. I counter it with my sense of utter betrayal when I figured out the meaning behind "I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key."
Also, what is the champagne room, never mind why is there no sex in there.
And I always sympathized with the girl in "Billy Don't Be a Hero. But not with the whiner in "Where Have the Cowboys Gone?" who can't deal with her husband since he came back from the war. (though it's sad and interesting that another generation has "back from the war" tropes)

Oh, my love for that song is unbreakable.
"I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key."
I had that song stuck in my head yesterday, for no reason at all. I sure hadn't heard it anywhere.

I had "Moves Like Jagger" stuck in my head at night two weeks ago for 6 HOURS as I battled insomnia.
PURE HELL.

One of the most ludicrous things I ever heard was a parody of that song called -- actually, here it is: [link]

Which survey is the circadian rhythms one, Kat? I am curious.

I hate both "Escape" and "Freebird" but love Neil Diamond's music in a completely non-ironic way.
My husband hates The Eagles. He even hates "Hotel California." I don't understand why anyone from California and of a certain age would hate that song. It's like the one area where our age difference makes itself apparent. The other is my inability to recognize Dinosaur Jr songs when they come on the radio.
"Billy Don't Be a Hero" is on the Top 40 in hell.
Along with "Muskrat Love."

Burrell, are you married to the Dude? Does that rug really pull the room together?
Neil Diamond is awesome, btw. Neil Diamond, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan are a triumvirate of awesomeness.

I need someone to explicate MacArthur Park.
I had George M.Cohan's Yankee Doodle Dandy stuck in my head for 2 years. It was awful.
