This performance at the Queens Jubilee just re-ignited my love for this musical.

During this lull, I will return to the very first modern French song of my adolescence. I already knew quite a few of the "classic" French songs from my heritage, but this song marked me at the beginning of a year when my brother and I were to live with our grandparents.
3. Tous les garçons et les filles - Françoise Hardy
There was also a totally amazing technological innovation at the time -- the Scopitone, which was a video jukebox. Instead of just playing 45s, they played an 8mm video of the song. I don't know if this ever spread to other countries, since it was clearly ahead of its time. The video is a Scopitone.

One of my memory-triggers too! At the risk of de-railing the thread, apparently there was in America a series of Soundies on a form of video jukebox in the early 1940s. I'm not sure I would call this (from 1940) a favourite, and maybe it shouldn't count here since it's an instrumental, but there is something gloriously silly about it - take it away Reg Kehoe and the Marimba Queens!

I am going for 5 here so counting Patrick's post above
5. Running Up The Hill ~ Kate Bush - my Dad was a huge fan, he would be in his mid 90s now ; if he was still alive I am sure he would be cheering at her revival to younger people ... No 1 in the UK charts this week.

Even though this is not the most joyous song in the world, I think that it is sometimes appropriate. (and already 20 years old)
7. Everybody Hurts - REM
