Always loved "Air that I breathe" by The Hollies. 

 

Rather like this Dr. Hook number, too, despite it being associated with possibly the most painful moment of my life!

 

When I was 16, I had a minor operation to remove a large growth from under my big toenail (probably splintered bone from kicking a snow-covered bollard, it turns out). Basically, they cut off my toenail and gouged the thing out.

After the op, I was lying on a hospital bed and this song came on the radio just as the local anaesthetic wore off. I was in absolute agony, practically biting the pillow like Norman Scott (around the same time!).

I can vividly remember trying to concentrate on the song to take my mind off the excruciating pain. The song seemed to last an hour and the lad seemed to speak to the operator and Mrs. Avria (?) about 20 times apiece. lol
