@Pavlov That was my first thought "there's got to be a track called Side Piece or Side Bitch or whatever" ... but you seem to be a connoisseur of the genre, beat me to it...
The single version features Gwen Stefani, however the album version didn't include the No Doubt vocalist. Moby explained to Rolling Stone: "Gwen Stefani came into the studio while I was recording Play. And this was when the first No Doubt record was doing really well. So I couldn't figure out why she'd want to go into the studio with me. She was a big rock star and I was a has-been. She came into the studio, she recorded the vocals and she did a great job. But my mixing skills are limited. I couldn't get a mix with her vocals that worked. I tried and I tried. So the first album version didn't have her vocals on it. I went back to it a year later and handed it off to a friend who was a good mixer, and he was able to actually do a mix with her vocals that worked. So, that's why there's two versions."
The Doors fucking suck, but I do like the Monty Python, Pink Floyd, and Moby. Also that one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Outside by Staind. That's a side, right?
@jqubed Because cold weather = Christmas, despite the fact that its only 5 days into winter (in the Northern hemisphere). All sitcoms are devoid of weather, except at Christmas, where it starts snowing incessantly.
I sing "Time is on my side" when I want to freak my wife out. It was used as a plot effect so well in the movie "Fallen", which was one of the most insidiously evil movies we ever saw.... ...and which of course we love.
@mfladd writing is also fundamental, and none of the earlier posts bothered to write the song's title (as per text search on page) so your snipe is invalid.
@PocketBrain his point isn't invalid just because you tried to take a shortcut that didn't work out. That shortcut is literally the opposite of reading, it's letting a computer read for you.
@PocketBrain if you'd read the entire thread you'd have come across the videos. Alternately you would have come across discussion thereof. Either way the issue was your shortcut attempt, not that people didn't accommodate your shortcut.
@clayboy I was just going to add this too. Classic Van. Some great songs on the list but I'd put this and Monty Python's "Bright Side of Life" at the top.
While Monty Python is the definitive answer, I might be swayed for "Walk on the Wild Side", if it were the Gerty Molzen version. (stick around for the do-da-doos at 1:15 ).
Sorry I couldn't find the David Letterman live version.
Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers is the first one I thought of. And wow, this video is so late-90s dramatic that it softened my blackened heart for just a moment. ("Only 90s Kids Will Remember Thinking This Was Profound!")

@Pavlov bruh
@Pavlov That was my first thought "there's got to be a track called Side Piece or Side Bitch or whatever" ... but you seem to be a connoisseur of the genre, beat me to it...
That's a lot of great "side" songs, but I had to go with The Doors.
Where the Sidewalk Ends. Jim Lauderdale
@AnnaB also The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight. REM
The answer is, from the Tony Hawk Underground 2 soundtrack... BREAKAWN THREW TO THE OTHAH SIIIDE KEYBOARD SOLO
@brumagem Oooohhhh, I'm just a little slow on the trigger tonight.
@brumagem
A perfect addition imho.
@brumagem I was honestly very surprised and mildly upset this wasn't in the original list. It is the first "side song that popped in my head.
@brumagem I'm not sure I've ever been more disappointed in meh than I am that this wasn't on the list.
Just speak to me, on so many levels. And you can really whistle along, c'mon!
@MrHappypants
No kidding! I saw Spamalot a couple of years ago and this song was included. I had it in my head for days afterward.
Seriously? Forgotten? Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon".
@thismyusername Yes! I always wondered how the girl who was on the original recording felt about Moby replacing her vocals with Gwen Stefani.

I think the girl might be moby with a vocal effect
@thismyusername Haha, I hadn't thought of that
(NSFW) "Westside Story" - The Game
I'm just gonna leave this one here...
The Doors fucking suck, but I do like the Monty Python, Pink Floyd, and Moby. Also that one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Outside by Staind. That's a side, right?
I'm sure I'm going to hear it from everyone just by asking this question, but am I the only person that thinks Pink Floyd is soooooo overrated?
Why is "Baby It's Cold Outside" considered a Christmas song? There's nothing about it that connects it to Christmas.
@jqubed
It gets into the xmas rotation.
@jqubed Because cold weather = Christmas, despite the fact that its only 5 days into winter (in the Northern hemisphere). All sitcoms are devoid of weather, except at Christmas, where it starts snowing incessantly.
@f00l But I don't understand why. I think @DrWorm is right, but that's a kind of dumb reason.
"I Need you by my Side" - Michael Kiwanuka
I sing "Time is on my side" when I want to freak my wife out.
It was used as a plot effect so well in the movie "Fallen", which was one of the most insidiously evil movies we ever saw.... ...and which of course we love.
@PhysAssist exactly. i didn't even need to read the rest of the list after this one, mostly because of that movie. although, it is a great song.
@PhysAssist
Time does seem to be on Mick and Keith's side.
@PhysAssist It's a wonderfully creepy use of the song. Yes it is!
Always look on the bright side of life.
@PocketBrain You understand this has posted twice already, now 3x? Reading is fundamental.
@mfladd
Dang it. Now I want to post it a 4th time.
@walarney Do it. Worth.
@mfladd writing is also fundamental, and none of the earlier posts bothered to write the song's title (as per text search on page) so your snipe is invalid.
@PocketBrain Sniping was never my intention. I am nice tonight, PB.
Please accept my apologies.
@PocketBrain his point isn't invalid just because you tried to take a shortcut that didn't work out. That shortcut is literally the opposite of reading, it's letting a computer read for you.
@jbartus I still don't see the phrase appearing on the earlier posts; Moderator, can we edit them so he's right? Truth lies in revision.
@PocketBrain if you'd read the entire thread you'd have come across the videos. Alternately you would have come across discussion thereof. Either way the issue was your shortcut attempt, not that people didn't accommodate your shortcut.
@jbartus Wow, you know, when you're right, you're right! Ctrl+f = I'm illiterate. Too bad I can't read this.
@PocketBrain @jbartus tonight......all is good. No conflicts.
It's all about the Zen.....
@mfladd 'Zalright. I just can't hate somebody who just Depped me. ;-)
@PocketBrain nobody called you illiterate... talk about a gross overreaction.
@mfladd why is @medz on that woman's back?
@PocketBrain hahahaha. It's hard to hate the Dep :)
@jbartus I wish I was @medz. Is that wrong?
@mfladd is that because you want to be this month's goat or because you want to be the one on that woman's back?
@jbartus Back. Never goat again. My dues have been paid.
@mfladd this is you in your family album from when you were a kind, isn't it?

@clayboy I was just going to add this too. Classic Van. Some great songs on the list but I'd put this and Monty Python's "Bright Side of Life" at the top.
Isn't it warm? Isn't it cozy, side by side ... by side?
@madamehardy woo, NPH!

@currawong Yup - my brain went to this song before any of the others.
