Your Song of the Day is one terrific piece of music from Elton John's 1981 album "The Fox" (an overlooked gem if there ever was one). The first single off that album, "Nobody Wins," tells the story of lost love, backed by swirling synthesizers and a haunting piano hook. The track took off on radio upon release in 1981 and raced up the lower half of the Hot 100 singles chart at break-neck speed before stalling quickly at a disappointing number 21.
