{Song #77 « Song #78 » Song #79}
§ ≡ One of an ongoing series of posts in which I pick, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best songs of the second millennium. Feel free to offer constructive dissenting opinions; preferably set to music.
Song #78 is Lonely Boy, written and recorded by Paul Anka in 1959. Anka sang this song in the movie Girls Town.
When released as a single, Lonely Boy topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Anka's first song to do so. I suspect that, for some of the girls in my high-school senior-class of 1959, this was the first song that inspired them to do some amazing things, too.
