Favorite Songs #8: Magically Delicious

Having absolutely nothing to do with the release of the new Harry Potter film today, I hereby ask you for your favorite "magical" song (or, as always, top 5, top 10, etc.). Here's the only real rule -- the song must have the word "magic" in the title (e.g., "Practical Magic" by Stevie Nicks), a variant thereof (e.g., "Magical Mystery Tour" by The Beatles), or an otherwise blatantly magical reference (e.g., "Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band).

So is that a magic wand in your pocket, or are you just excited to vote?!?

We've had some good nominations, my personal favorite of which is JL Pagano's nod to The Police's "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic." (Sarah, I'll have to hunt down the Ghostbusters soundtrack to check out your vote.) Still, I believe some gems were missing, including (in no particular order): "You Can Do Magic" by America, "Magic" by Pilot, "It's a Kind of Magic" by Queen, and "Strange Magic" by Electric Light Orchestra. But the number one song left off the list, for nostalgic purposes, is "Magic" by The Cars.

Seeing as how it's the only vote anyone's going to offer, it definitely counts! Thanks for playing!

I'll toss in the Police with "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic".

I am highly in favor of Magic, by Mick Smiley. It's this ultra cheesy song on the Ghostbusters soundtrack, but it's got some great memories tied to it.
