Totally Tunes: Ooooh, Music Friend!

Music has a lot of friends. Musicians have a lot of friends, and stories about said friends, and maybe motivation to make more friends. Hence, there's A LOT of songs about friendship. Most are positive, some are romantic, there's some creepy ones, wacky tunes too... but needless to say, as long as this world has melodies, there will always be a song about friendship.

You can also have this silly Eurovision bop, about a dude trying his best to pretend the girl he liked as a young man is totes water under the bridge now, like, a friend of a friend of a friend:

Let's close this article with another cover, a nostalgic song about friendship, growing up, and wondering where are your youth-day friends tonight...

So, what's your favorite song about friends and friendship? Do you and your friends have a "group song" you feel identified with?
