String crossing can be a big stumbling block for a lot of players (including me)  And just playing string crossing excesses can be rather boring. Soo....I'd like everybody to chip in with their fav song that uses this technique. I'll start it off with...
This:

If you think it's so common, do you have an example?

That song is played almost entirely in one position. Starting on the second fret, the notes are B B D E F#A F# E F# F# G
