I have to add something here because no one has said anything about "Swingtown" yet. I think this was my very first favorite song ever. When I was really little my dad used to play the 45 for me and I would dance along to it. I remember spinning in a circle to watch my dress billow out.
Anyway, it's a great, fun song. Every time I happen upon it on the radio I listen to the whole thing. There isn't much meaning here, obviously; it's just a happy song about having good times. I love the immediately recognizable opening, the bassline, the groove, the instrumental section in the last third (with the kind of cheesy but fun drumming), and then the fade at the end.
