THE 1000 UK NUMBER ONE POLL - RESULTS

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-paint.jpg

I'll be there to always see you through, I'll be there to love and comfort you...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-reach.jpg

This was Top Five in the early stages, before slowly slipping.

We kissed after taking vows, but that night on our honeymoon we stayed in separate rooms...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-bando.jpg

There's a dark secret in me, don't leave me locked in your heart, set me free...

20. Crazy In Love - Beyoncé (12/07/03)
477 points, 18 votes

Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress; you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-crazy.jpg

Between the two of us guys, you know I loved you more...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-ihear.jpg

Put the needle on the record, when the song beats go like this...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-pumpu.jpg

ILM, I kiss you for this.

Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want, I can see whomever I choose; I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant, but nothing, I said nothing, can take away these blues...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-nothi.jpg

Love is all I bring, inna me khaki suit and ting...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-uptow.jpg

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free, at night I lock the doors, where no one else can see...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-intot.jpg

Sippin' on coke and rum, I'm like so what I'm drunk, it's the freakin' weekend baby, I'm about to have me some fun...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-ignit.jpg

Tonight make it magnificent, tonight, make me tonight...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-atomi.jpg

From this point on, you'll start to see noticeably bigger jumps in the number of points. The Number One got nearly twice the number of points than this.

The five years we have had have been such good times, I still love you, but now I think it's time I lived my life on my own, I guess it's just what I must do...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-donty.jpg

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on, leave them burning and then you're gone...

10 The Model / Computer Love - Kraftwerk (06/02/82)
657 points, 20 votes

She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time, it only takes a camera to change her mind...

Can I just say: where are all the electric guitars?

Little things I should’ve said and done, I never took the time...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-alway.jpg

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone, just you wait 'til I get you home...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-weste.jpg

Bloody hell! It's two in a row!

Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-taint.jpg

The second cover version in the Top 10, and the highest placed song to score no #1 votes from anybody.

The Model: 1.
Always On My Mind: 2
West End Girls: 0 (highest: 3)
Tainted Love: 0 (highest: 2)

You had a temper like my jealousy: too hot, too greedy...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-wuther.jpg

An early runaway winner, this spent most of its time in the Top Three before dropping in the last two or three days.

Once I had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out to be a pain in the ass...

ihttp://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-heart.jpg

And mother always told me be careful of who you love, and be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-billi.jpg

Ooh, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-ifeell.jpg

Bands won't play no more, too much fighting on the dancefloor...

http://troubled-diva.com/ilm/i-ghost.jpg

Blobby!

I, I love the colourful clothes she wears, and the way the sunlight plays upon her hair...

Has to be the ultimate pop song as epic, surely. It has everything.
- David Merryweather

Nothing the Beatles did could touch "Good Vibrations" or "Heroes & Villians" (well, maybe "She Said...").
- Mark @ pitchforkmedia

I always thought that "Good Vibrations" was the most expensive single ever (inflation taken into account). At least at the time it was I think. Brian Wilson spent several months and about 5 studios on it. Plenty of takes and orchestration and the theremin...
- Tim Baier

How is good vibrations NOT a novelty song? It's built around a catch phrase of the day and a cameo by a wacky instrument.
- fritz wollner

I always thought the theremin in Good Vibrations was the best part of the song.
- Carey

Every few months I walk past a certain building and am convinced that someone is blasting Good Vibrations out of an upstairs window, but it's an air conditioner that does a startling mimic of a theremin.
- holojames

i discovered via the magic of remastering that the tape edits in "good vibrations" are painfully noticeable.
- fact checking cuz
I hate that first one sometimes, right when "I'm picking up good vibrations" comes in. You don't even need a remastered version to hear it. It's pretty bad.
- maypang
that's what you get for mixing while tripping.
- fact checking cuz

The bit in Good Vibrations after the bridge just before they go "AAAAAAAAAH!" is the thickest bit of silent air ever recorded.
- dog latin

I hate the end of ‘Good Vibrations’; there’s a real quick fade-out (less than two seconds, probably) just when the theremin gets going.
- Orange

I've never thought Mike Love was that great of a singer. Way too nasaly, almost sardonic and apathetic. Listen to "Good Vibrations". It starts off so good until you get to Love's "I'm picking up good vibrations..." I picture him singing that part with his arms folded, eyes rolled, and foot tapping outside of the beat. Kill him by drowning him in Sunkist.
- Pleasant Plains

I have to do a presentation tomorrow on the influence of "Be My Baby" on subsequent musicians and producers. The only examples I've got so far are The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey", The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" and something off Loveless. Anyone got any ideas?
- OCP

"Good Vibrations"! It's the greatest song ever written called "Good Vibrations"! Apart from the other one!
- Marcello Carlin (talking about Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch)

Or 'Good Vibrations'. One of those three!
