Didn't Quite Make It
#18 on VH1's top 100 songs of the 90s is Metallica's "Enter Sandman." As much as I like the song, it's one of those that seems to be approaching the chorus without ever quite getting there.
I can't think of too many other songs with that feeling. The only other I can name off the top of my head is "To Sir, With Love."
A great parody of the latter song can be found on Mr. Show--how's that for a Mr. Show-like transition? (The song starts at 5.25--though it turns into a disco number about a half minute in.)

I am just listening to some Raymond Scott doing electronic commercials in the 50's and 60's. They should pull some of this music for the ads in Mad Men.

Not sure why you left this comment here, especially when you can add a separate post.
I'm a big fan of Scott, too. Perhaps I'll put up his most famous pieces, and one of the most recognizable compositions from the 20th century, "Powerhouse."
Video killed the blog. Can we get a not-to-exceed amount on daily pics and videos, you're slowing down my server, man
I started adding more videos because I thought the technology was improving. I may be adding more, but I'll try to avoid more than one at a time.
"Enter Sandman" has been indelibly associated -- for NY baseball fans -- with the entry of either team's closer. Twenty years from now, kids who never heard of Metallica will say , when it comes on the Oldies station, "isn't that some kind of sports anthem?"
