It's the songs you think got it right except for that one bit you wish they'd just left out - from a clunky key change to a daft bit of rhyme.

It’s the songs that you think were just about perfection if it weren’t for the annoying key change, the daft bit of rhyme or maybe it’s one of those tracks that just petered out.
Dusty Springfield recorded her vocals for You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me ….66 times as she strived for perfection. Who do you think deserves a β€œcould try harder” on their report card.
