You are marooned on a desert island. What 5 songs would you like to have with you?

You have to listen to the same five songs and no others while you are marooned on a desert island. Which five would you choose? Name less than five if you want, but please keep it to four or less just for the sake of being forced to choose.  We realize that next week you might come up with five different songs.

AMAZING GRACE - Alan Jackson

CONSTANT CRAVING - K D Lang

THE GOOD LIFE - Tony Bennett

HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG - Marshall Tucker Band

I wouldn't have to take this song with me. For some reason it always pops into my head.

I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny...

I would have a lot more than 5, but these lead the list.

I think everyone has more than 5 .  I could probably name 200 "favorite" songs. I kept it to five so people would post videos or at least a list instead of just saying "I have too many to name".

I could easily name 200, too.  Probably a whole lot more.

Sorry about the incorrect spelling of "George".  That's how they had it on YouTube.

"Everything That Touches You" is on my top list, too.  What an amazing song.  The Association had some really wonderful tunes.  "Windy" is my favorite along with "Everything That Touches You".  I could definitely have put both songs on my top 5.

Ok, I thought about it and decided to pick one.

As I am lying on the beach, emaciated and dehydrated, with crabs picking at me, in my half dead delusional state, I can listen to this and dream that I am sailing away...

.

Fantasy, it gets the best of me, when I'm sailing...
