as an actual song and not some kraut-rock epic or a rap record or whatever, i might be inclined to say "Hospital" by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.
Or maybe "Sweet Jane"...
You don't have to 'sing' for it to be a 'song' do you? Or are instrumentals just that? Did Gil Scott Heron not right songs? Didn't the bomb squad?
Ahh D'yah (sic) by the Goats, Liquid Swords by the Gza, Winter of the Long Hot summer by the Disposable Heroes, That's how I'm livin' by Ice T... yeah, there are way too many.
What's with sing, sang, song, sung anway? Why no seng?
When i was younger (late teens, early twentys) i thought 'Crowds' by Bauhaus was the greatest song i had ever heard. It remained my favorite for a good 5 or 6 years. I no longer think it is, but i listen to so much diverse music now, that picking a single tune is impossible!

When I made myself a list of my favourite 50 songs ever a while ago, the top five came out like this:
1. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
2. Fugazi - Shut The Door
3. Radiohead - Paranoid Android
4. Bjork - Joga
5. Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat
Mine is Newborn by Elbow with this section being my favourite ever -
Scream in the night
Kick and skrike
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older.
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice.
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice.
If you're forcing me to choose at gunpoint (which i assume you are), I'm going to go with Luau by Drive Like Jehu. Hell, it's long enough to be 3 songs.
Faith No More's Angel Dust is my all time favourite album, and choosing a favourite song of it is impossible. I might be tempted to say Midlife Crisis. Or Jizzlobber. Or Crack Hitler or Kindergarten...
i think longpigs' lost myself. or the kinks' sunny afternoon. or the small faces' lazy sunday. or slowdive's machine gun. or depeche mode's freestate. or red animal war's jambalaya. or refused's new noise. or jeff buckley's forget her/vancouver. or morrissey's november spawned a monster. or iggy pop's gimme danger. or..um...all of them. i'm not a decisive person.

Franz Ferdinand - Van Tango
Interpol - NYC
By the way, out of interest, does anyone know what number NYC got in the charts when it was released?
Re: All time favourite song
Dunno if it was re-released or anything though.
