it would be Macy's Day Parade by Greenday. i like the song so much. it was my classmates who itroduce that song to me because it actually is my class theme song. i just came to get to know with these new classmates of my and they're really talented when it comes to entertainment and one time my classmate was humming with the song and found myself doing the same but didn't know the lyrics at all. so it was when i got addicted to it up to now for like a year now. sometimes if there a song that im crazy of but it wouldn't last longer than Macy's Day Parade.

Maybe "Wonderwall" by Oasis. I think it's a tender song but it has a good rythm.
Released in October 1995, it peaked at #2 in the UK charts and proved to be their American breakthrough, giving Oasis their only US Top 10 hit thus far. "Wonderwall" is perhaps their most popular song, despite the fact that British TV stars Robson & Jerome's "I Believe"/"Up On The Roof" kept it out of the top slot. "Wonderwall" has had enduring popularity in Oasis' canon. As of 2005 it was number 99 in the UK's list of best-selling singles and frequently appears in "best-of" single polls.
The song takes its name from the 1968 album Wonderwall Music by George Harrison, at the time still a member of the Beatles. Harrison's album was in fact a soundtrack to the film Wonderwall, but the film has remained unknown by the general public. The film was about an eccentric professor, Oscar Collins, who lives completely secluded in his chaotic apartment. When the model Penny moves in next to him, he becomes fascinated of her. He drills holes in her walls and ceiling and peeps on her day and night. He loses himself in daydreams and delusions. A wonderwall is an object of fascination.
It is often claimed that "Wonderwall" was written for Gallagher's then-girlfriend, Meg Mathews. Noel married Mathews, but they were divorced in 2001. Gallagher now claims that the song was not about Mathews at all, but he felt he had to go along with the rumour, saying "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it. How do you tell your missus it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about a special friend who's gonna be there for you and save you from yourself and everyone else." Initially Noel wanted to sing this song, but he gave his brother Liam Gallagher the choice, and Noel ended up singing "Don't Look Back in Anger".
