Quoted from KozMckPinball:Lots of songs listed here I would't call Pop.
Same thing happened in the Perfect Album thread.
People will start posting ballads, songs by homosexual pedophiles, theme from Starwars.....
That's the fun of an online forum.
If a pop song could be described as 'epic', this would have to be it.
Greatest Les Paul tone ever put to vinyl.
Hard to believe Bryan Adams ever had the range to sing anything other than by-the-numbers rock nursery rhymes.
Sweeney Todd - Tantalize
From the east-side street, kick a tin can beat
Run through the jungle, a lion, a mongrel like you
Such an easy mark for a hungry shark
Lost in the haze of the big city maze and your through
Tantalize you, mesmerize you
Trick you with a smile
Capture with the style
A touch of magic sure to make you sigh
Can you still be insane with this ball and chain
Run through the jungle, a lecher, a scoundrel, it's you
Keep yourself wide-eyed or they'll bleed you dry
Runnin' thru shadows of streets broad and narrow with you
Tantalize you, mesmerize you
Start to lose control
The city takes its toll
Beaten once, twice shy, beware below
Do you see (do you see)
At nights (at nights)
Do you see (do you see)
At nights (at nights)
Quoted from Gryszzz:The Beach Boys "Warmth of the Sun" not perfect but to me it's perfect Beach Boys. And they wrote pop songs I think.
Why is there no Beach Boys pinball Machine?
Elvis and Stones have been done along with a few hair bands and rumor is Beatles is on the way.
So why isn't there more hype about a Beach Boys pinball machine? I guess it's up to you and me then. 
But seriously, despite Vid’s rules, look up “Perfect Pop Song” in the dictionary and the definition is “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand”. If the Beatles never cut another record, we’d still be talking about them for these two.
Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet fits the bill. Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd on guitar!
Quoted from vid1900:The Beatles were the perfect boy-band, for a 5 year old boy.
Yes they were!
And it was long before Michael Jackson first muttered "The kid is not my son..."
Quoted from wayout440:I'm sorry Vid, some of yours songs just don't fit my vision of the perfect pop song.
The pop artist that stands above all....ABBA.
ABBA is a great band, no doubt about it.
But they do not engage my brain. Most of their songs are just too low tempo and their chord progressions banal.
"Knowing Me Knowing You" is probably their best song as far as songcraft, but it's even slower than most of 'em.

Picking up on that sarcasm. Only cause it's as thick as a 65 Elvis pompadour.
The best punkpop song from THIS century (best punk harmony ever?)
Buzzcocks - Wish I Never Loved You
No matter what I try is no good for you
Everything that I say, everything that I do
It's crystal clear now that we're going nowhere
And that once was a dream has become this nightmare
Wish I never loved you
But I just can't let go, now I know how it feels to have loved and lost, because of pride
To be deserted so that hurt is all that's left inside
I'm ashamed I've been blamed so much I wanted to die
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
What makes me think I mean nothing to you?
Everything that you say, everything that you do
All you excuses, the lies you invent
Provide more than a little discouragement
Wish I never loved you

Buzzcocks - Wish I Never Loved You
That’s a damn good tune.
Best Pop? Pop music!
Pop Pop Pop Muzik

Boogie with a suitcase
You're living in a disco
Forget about the rat race
Let's do the Milkshake
Selling like a hotcake
Try some, buy some
Fee fi fo fum
Talk about Pop Muzik
Talk about Pop Muzik
Quoted from jayhawkai:Toto - Africa
Can’t stand it and it’s being played all the time. 
Quoted from rai:Can’t stand it and it’s being played all the time.
You are likely hearing the Weezer cover
Quoted from Spinape:You are likely hearing the Weezer cover
Ok but nonetheless I cannot stand it.

What a great non-pinball thread!
Long ago I promised myself I’d spend the rest of my days selling the wares of the great Australian post-punk / power pop band Died Pretty to the world. This song from 1991, Godbless, is my favourite, although the sound on youtube is a little tinny:
But the whole album, Doughboy Hollow, is magnificent. It has my vote (and that of many others) as the best ever released by Australians
I am sure this will get downvotes like crazy, but I hate that I like this song......."Out of the Woods" by Taylor Swift

Scouting For Girls - She's So Lovely
I love the way she fills her clothes
She looks just like them girls in Vogue
I love the way she plays it cool
I think that she is beautiful
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's pretty
A fitty
She's got a boyfriend though
And that's a pity
She's flirty
Turned thirty
Ain't that the age a girl gets really dirty?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
How we'll make it through this
I don't know
I don't know

I love the way she bites her lip
I love the way she shakes them hips
I love the way she makes me drool
I think that she is beautiful
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
Well she's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
A stunner
I wonder
Was she this fit when she was 10 years younger?
Come see me, discretely
She said she's got a trick or two
To teach me
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
How we'll make it through this
I don't know

Aaaa.....I was gonna say this one but you beat me to it. Can't go wrong with Robin Scott.

Since Beatles are disqualified my 1st choice of HELP! that mesmerized me as a child must sit silent. Jet's " are you gonna be my girl?" is fast, crunchy and catchy. For the 90's I'd have to go with the New Radicals "You only get what you give."
