A lot of hit songs aren’t always timeless, but there are certain songs that whenever they come up, you can’t help but get on the beat and remember every lyric. Whether it was the song on repeat in your dad’s car in the 60s or the song you danced to on your senior prom in the 70s or even your wedding song in the 80s, some songs outlive their artists and forever remain in the hearts of their listeners.
