Of course my  fave is Viva Las Vegas!

I can't believe that Bobby Bare (with wife, Jeannie Bare) song from
the '70's, "Vegas", never makes any of these lists.  The lyrics are
fantastic!

Chorus:

Baby, we're gonna go to Vegas
Win more money than you've ever seen
Far as this pickup truck & 48 bucks will take us
Baby, we're gonna chase that dream
Gonna' Vegas, turn our money green

5 Days a week, 8 hours a day
Too damn much work, and not enough
So pack our bags & fill up the tank
Leave the kids with your mother
Levee the dogs with your brother
Ah, open up the piggy bank

(chorus)

Here we are, we're heading back home
Gas tank empty, And money all gone
We missed that rainbow, It's drizzling rain
Yeah, well dry your tears, 'cause in a couple of years
We can go back & try it again!

It's available to listen for free on Rhapsody.  You can't download it,
though, unless you pay some $$$.  However, if you have your computer
hooked into your stereo system & have a tape deck or other recording
component, you can record it onto cassette, CD, MD, etc..., for free.

Sorry, that first should have read:

5 Days a week, 8 hours a day
Too damn much work, and not enough pay
