They Don't Know - Kirsty MacColl

Absolutely. Saw them play them this at Spanish Moon

Spoon - I turn my camera on

Howie Mandel used to open his stand-up shows with this song on a continous video loop to agitate the audience.

They would get more and more pissed off the longer it played. Very Andy Kaufmanesque of him!

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Stones - Bitch
Elvis - See See Rider (from On Stage Feb '70 album)
Bobby 'Blue' Bland - Ain't No Love In The Heart of The City
Eagles - Flyin'
A-Ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV
GnR - Better

"Holiday in Cambodia" and "American Jesus." "Back in Black." "Don't Stop Believing." Seconding "Free Bird." And "Proud Mary" (and just to spark some controversy, the Tina Turner cover. The CCR original is great, don't get me wrong, but Tina completely fricking owns it. I've listened to that for an hour when driving.)

Also, pretty much any Buffett song. I'm not even remotely a Parrothead, but most of Jimmy's output is extremely easy to listen to on repeat.

Now that I look at the list, it seems like older songs are much better on repeat. Maybe because we're just so familiar with them?

(Edit: Just so we're clear, I'm not making a political statement with the Dead Kennedys or Bad Religion up there. I just like listening to them. Their lyrics are pointed but that's not all they have going for them. I wouldn't be able to listen to them on repeat just on the strength of the narrative.)
