What best/worst song would you apply to your own videos and why each?

[R-Rated]

I recently published a video to Facebook (still to be released on YouTube) where my bike's radio was playing "Brand New Skates" by Melanie. Not to give any spoilers but I thought it would be horrible to have on the video during what was happening at the moment but some viewers said it fit perfect for the circumstances. I guess the song ran against the overall mood?

It made me wonder what song would you choose to the best fit for your typical video even if you do not use music in your videos?

What would be the worst one?

Good question! I have no idea... but I've got some copyright free music that goes along with my modus operandi - lyrics around doing things the hard way, getting freedom, and whatever the heck the song is I use in the first 15 seconds of almost every video lately, after a friend of mine suggested it was my favorite.

I will keep an ear open for you and if I hear something catchy on overtime today, I will post the suggestions.

Sometimes I spend days looking for a track for a 30 second montage, sometimes I just know right away what kind of music I want and I look for it, with keywords.
More often than not, choice depends on what kind of mood the bit of footage gives me.
