In the last few years there have been songs that I wish I wrote.

Has anyone else come across a song that they wish they wrote.

Man, a lot of Radiohead, although I can see why.

I'd have to go with happy birthday, that guy/girl gets a fortune everytime it's used in a movie.

Or Romeo and Juliet fantasy overture by Tchaikovsky, because everyone on boards knows the song. Anyone who's ever watched cartoons knows it
