Not sure if it’s the best, but I have been listening to One Headlight for 25 years and I have never gotten tired of it.

By the same token, been doing the same to Mambo No. 5 and it’s still a bop.

There’s a bunch, but the first thing that popped into my head was Weezer’s Undone (The Sweater Song). You could pick just about any song off that album though.

First one I thought of was Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms.

One Headlight
I prefer The Difference from them, but my overall answer would probably be either The Freshman or Shimmer from Fuel.

It's definitely neither of those...especially the latter. Might as well have went with The Macarena.

Probably It Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Not sure if I can value the opinion of someone who shits on Mambo No. 5

Wait until you hear my take on "All Star" by Smash Mouth. I hated that part of the 90s, as far as music goes.
