原地址:500 Greatest Songs of All Time
491 Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, ‘I Love Rock ‘N Roll’
Writers: Jake Hooker, Alan Merrill Producers: Ritchie Cordell, Kenny Laguna Released: Jan. '82, Boardwalk 20 weeks; No. 1
Attempting to jump-start a solo career after her stint in the Runaways, Jetthad her demo tape to "I Love Rock 'N Roll" rejected by 23 record labels. Tiny Boardwalk Records finally bit, but the label sold her the radio rights to the track for $2,500. Today, the song is worth nearly $20 million.

492 Gloria Gaynor, ‘I Will Survive’
Writers: Dino Fekaris, Freddie Perren Producers: Fekaris, Perren Released: Dec. '78, Polydor 27 weeks; No. 1
In 1979, Gaynor's career was falling apart. Donna Summer had replaced her as the leading disco diva, and the 32-year-old Gaynor had recently suffered the death of her mother and had undergone spinal surgery. So when she belted out "I Will Survive," she brought extra attitude. The track was originally a B side, but after enterprising DJs started to play it at discos, it turned into a smash.

493 MGMT, ‘Time to Pretend’
Writers: Ben Goldwasser, Andrew VanWyngarden Producer: Dave Fridmann Released: Jan '08, Columbia Did Not Chart
The rhythm was inspired by the wriggling of a praying mantis that VanWyngarden and Goldwasser kept in college. VanWyngarden wrote about rock-star fantasies ("I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin"), though it's unclear how facetious the words are. "Some think we're druggies. Others see the tongue-in-cheek element," he said. "That's what I hope for as a lyricist: confusion!"

494 R. Kelly, ‘Ignition (Remix)’
Writer: Kelly Producer: Kelly Released: Oct. '02, Jive 42 weeks; No. 2
R. Kelly's automotive metaphors for booty-knockin' in "Ignition" are subtler than they might've been; the lyrics were toned down at the request of a Chicago radio station. On Chocolate Factory, the original version of the song segued immediately into the hit remix.

495 The Rolling Stones, ‘Brown Sugar’
Writers: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards Producer: Jimmy Miller Released: April '71, Rolling Stones 12 weeks; No. 1
The Stones take on slavery, sadomasochism, interracial sex — and make it catchy as hell. At Muscle Shoals studios, Jagger scrawled three verses on a pad, and Richards supplied an impossibly raunchy riff. Add some exultant punctuations and you have a Stones concert staple.

496 Jackson Browne, ‘Running on Empty’
Writer: Browne Producer: Browne Released: Jan. '77, Asylum 17 weeks; No. 11
The Running on Empty album was Browne's grand experiment: a set of all-new songs recorded onstage, in hotel rooms and on the tour bus. The title track was actually written while Browne was driving to the studio each day to make The Pretender. "I was always driving around with no gas in the car," he said. "I just never bothered to fill up the tank because — how far was it anyway? Just a few blocks."
Appears on: Running on Empty (Elektra)
497 Bruce Springsteen, ‘The Rising’
Writer: Springsteen Producer: Brendan O'Brien Released: July '02, Columbia 11 weeks; No. 52
Springsteen wrote the track about 9/11, taking the viewpoint of a firefighter entering one of the Twin Towers ("Can't see nothin' in front of me …") before unleashing the gospel-tinged chorus. It was the title track from an album intended to help his fans cope with the tragedy. "The fundamental thing I hear from fans is, 'Man, you got me through' — whatever it is," he told Rolling Stone in 2002.

498 The Rolling Stones, ‘Miss You’
Writers: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards Producers: The Glimmer Twins Released: May '78, Rolling Stones 20 weeks; No. 1
The Stones were in Toronto, rehearsing for their classic gigs at the El Mocambo Club, when Jagger, jamming with R&B legend Billy Preston, came up with "Miss You." With a disco groove and a touch of the blues via a harmonica player they found in a Paris subway, it became the band's first Number One hit in five years. "It's not really about a girl," Jagger said. "The feeling of longing is what the song is."
Appears on: Some Girls (Virgin)
499 Weezer, ‘Buddy Holly’
Writer: Rivers Cuomo Producer: Ric Ocasek Released: Aug. '94, DGC 21 weeks; No. 18
In the early 1990s, Cuomo had an awkward girlfriend who was routinely picked on. His efforts to stick up for her inspired Weezer's breakthrough, a track whose bubble-grunge hooks and lines such as "I look just like Buddy Holly/And you're Mary Tyler Moore" helped the band reach a nation of pop-minded suburban punks. It also earned Weezer autographed photos from the real Mary Tyler Moore.
Appears on: Weezer (Geffen)
500 Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, ‘Shop Around’
Writers: Berry Gordy, Robinson Producer: Gordy Released: Dec. '60, Tamla 16 weeks; No. 2
Robinson thought Barrett Strong should record "Shop Around," but Gordy persuaded Smokey that he was the right man for the song. After it came out, Gordy heard it on the radio and found it way too slow. He woke Robinson at 3 a.m. and called him back to the studio to re-cut it — faster and with Robinson's vocal more prominent. That one worked.
