Original video located here. Accessed 23rd February 2014

Song title: My Girl

Artist: Temptations

Year: 1964

Why I like this song:

One of the most recognizable openings ever with the finger-snaps and the guitar riff. I'm amazed how many can pick up this song and immediately enjoy it - but such things happen for a reason. You see, this song describes a true strength in a relationship, when you in something so strong, you feel the world is at your feet, it's pretty much all you'll ever need and you just want to tell everyone about it.

I have always had a long-standing grudge against love songs as they described an idealized situation and nothing of what's it really like - this song however, along with the others I've listed above, remains a delightful exception. And how can you see no to it? I guess it's fair to say that everyone has felt at some stage exactly like this: Being in love and everything is now viewed in a much brighter light and having the enthusiasm to say, Hey this is a Relationship that works.

"All I can talk about is My Girl"
