I thought of doing this as a poll, but I'm worried that the text length won't be enough to get me the information I crave, so if you'd just be so kind as to answer my nosy question in the comments, I'd be much obliged.

The thing that's got me thinking about this is that lately I've been listening obsessively to this one song on repeat, so much that I seem to have broken it, twice, and have had to redownload it. Twice. (No idea how this could possibly have happened, btw.) It's a total guilty pleasure, it's like nothing else I like or listen to, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I love it, but I really really do, I can't get enough, and I don't care whether you like it or not, will accept with equanimity your opinion that as songs go it's seriously unacceptable, but I kind of want to share it anyway:

Candyman by Christina Aguilera, fun, raunchy, retro, hooky, and completely irresistible.

So what's your current favorite, one-stop-got-me-hot song? And why do you like it? Sharing the song itself is totally optional, because what I really want here is to know that I'm not obsessing alone.

I too am a serialist, and I'm distressed to report that I'm currently between songs right now, but the last one I was totally fixated on was "I've Just Seen A Face" by the Beatles. I get into this mode where if I love a song, I want to find every version of it possible. I'm happy to report that the aforementioned song lends itself well to a bluegrass treatment. :D

Oh, man, this is just one of the many reasons why I love you. Who does the bluegrass cover?

There are a whole bunch of them on YouTube, but the one I liked best was this one: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ldPhTy8NibE
(unfortunately, they natter on for almost two minutes before finally starting to play).

It's kind of amazing how many songs DO respond well to some banjofication, you know? I haven't yet found a countrified version of "Shalom Aleichem", but I did find that one done reggae-style, which was almost as good. :D
