The first one that came to mind was one of Talulah Gosh's three "My" tracks...
Talk about packing a load in. We've got two intros, two verse/choruses, and an outro, all in 90 seconds.
There's also this preternaturally lovely track from the criminally under-rated Camera Obscura...

Brotherhood Of Man - My Sweet Rosalie Bucks Fizz - My Camera Never Lies Steps stole the idea with films scenes for "Say You'll Be Mine" video. Aqua - My Oh My Lynsey De Paul - My Man And Me

And now, the end is near, and we must face our final highway, people try to put us down, just because we get around.
Ok, in my chart Chuck Berry got to #1 for 7 weeks with "Johnny B Goode", had a few singles peak at #2 and other top 5 hits. This one only #30 in my chart in 1972 but in the UK and USA it was his only #1.

4. DON'T :: 349 songs
Paranoid lot, songwriters. Endless list of things not to do.
To simplify matters, I've limited myself to tracks which have never made the Top 10. Its still a bewilderingly long and strong list.
Don't Believe The Hype - Public Enemy Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House Don't Leave Home - Dido Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston Don't Let The Feeling Go - Nightcrawlers Don't Pay The Ferryman - Chris De Burgh Don't Play That Song (You Lied) - Aretha Franklin Don't Slow Down - UB40 Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac Don't Stop The Dance - Bryan Ferry Don't Tell Me That It's Over - Amy MacDonald
My two picks.
Well, I've not chosen a blues song yet. And you always need more cowbell.
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark - Robert Cray Band (Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

Well, obviously the greatest band that ever existed. Three albums, the first dark, the second indie, the third almost glam. The lead-off track from the third, Bite, was a step-up in sophistication, but did not lose the achingly alluring pop sensibilities. This tends to be something of a forgotten hit; one of my "what if" moments is had this been adopted for Four Weddings rather than the Wet Wet Wet atrocity.
Chris Donald of Viz chose this as one of his "Desert Island Discs" type things for VH1, albeit mostly because he said he fancied Clare Grogan. To be fair, who wouldn't?
Talking of Clare...
Talulah Gosh got their name from an NME headline for an interview with her. And if you ever want an example of everything that is brilliant about pop music, this is THE track. A precipitous headlong megarush of gloriousness.
And as I started with a forgotten top ten hit, here's another one...
...PSBs before there were PSBs. Blancmange, despite one of the worst names in top ten history, came up with a decent run of hits that tend to be overlooked nowadays.

ok, this is the moment in 2011 at an "anti-folk" festival that "Scrappy Hood" and I (Grimbitch) performed an unrehearsed (and in his case unplanned) version of Milk Kan's "Don't Panic" (Scrappy Hood being the singer in that duo) with me on ukulele. He forgot many of the words too (as he was drunk)
