    Don't really have a "top contender" for this but this is one song that seems to have it's work cut out for it enough that it was very successful, and very catchy on an oldies station.

    Wish I knew the criteria for this; am I supposed to choose from the "Hoffman Board Approved" go-to chocies? Era? Oldie? ?Rock? Pop?

    My more recent suggestions often gravitate towards Santana/Michelle Branch's "The Game of Love", or Jennifer Paige's "Crush"...and sometimes pust to hack you folks off, "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies.

    Got any boundaries in mind here...?

    A descending bass line does it every time.

    It might be considered too rock, but what about "Go All The Way" by the Raspberries? I mean after the intro, the verse is all of a whopping nine seconds long, before they get to one of the greatest money shot hummable CHORUSES ever.
