GO P FUNK BOY!

A very worthy #1 -- the arrangement is a work of genius, harmonically complex without being complicated, beautiful melody floating on top, great vocal performances.

This means 36 of your 50 (72%) votes were in the top 100. The total number of points summed over all 50 is 21985 for an average points per vote of 439.7.

Well done JF and seandalai, this has been a blast, definitely one of the more entertaining and enlightening polls there's been on ILX. Disappointed my plugging of 'Hoots Mon' fell flat, but can't complain about the #1.

songs i voted for that did not make the top 100 cut:

James Brown - Try Me
Huey 'Piano' Smith - Don't You Just Know It?
Charlie Feathers - Can't Hardly Stand It
Dale Hawkins - Suzie Q
Donald Woods & The Vel-Aires - Death of an Angel
Doris Day - Que sera, sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)
Dwayne Eddy - Peter Gunn
Harry Belafonte - Day-O
Howlin' Wolf - Spoonful
Joao Gilberto - Desafinado
John Coltrane – Blue Train
Julie London – Cry Me A River
Miriam Makeba – Pata Pata
Professor Longhair - Tipitina
Ricky Nelson – Travelin' Man
Sam Cooke - Only Sixteen
Slim Whitman - Indian Love Call

hawkins' "suzy Q", by the way, is every bit as tough and menacing as link wray's "rumble", anticipates 60s & 70s rock at least as well

omission of "que sera sera", "spoonful", "blue train", "cry me a river", "tipitina" and "indian love call" strike me as criminal (CRIMINAL!), but somebody always gotta complain about something...

Cool, thanks for the key. But I looked at my ballot and only saw 33 of my picks that made the hot hundred. (incl "Killing Floor")

That's a hella great little list, contenderizer.

im trying to save my outrage but i am so baffled that my number 1 didnt make the cut that i cant even

also how did les paul mary ford not make it?!!

so confused

and WHISTLE BAIT agghghg

I didn't vote or follow this thread at all but yay Flamingos!

13. Shirley Collins - The Cherry Tree Carol

this was the last song i cut, and i had such a goddam hard time with it. so beautiful. ultimately let it go mostly because i'd never heard it prior to this poll, and it's hard for me to sacrifice and old and true love in favor of something new and untried.

amazing poll Johnny, thanks!

PS: did you add my vote for Go to the Mardi Gras to the points of Mardi Gras In New Orleans? I changed the title because I thought we agreed that was the right version (recorded in the 50's), but I see you didn't change the name.

If it had made the top 101, i would've.

307 Gene Vincent - The Night Is So Lonely 100 1 1 (fizzles the chimp) gamalielratsey
307 Professor Longhair - Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand 100 1 1 PeteScholtes

i'd like to fap with the other three. it's worth a night out.

Take that, Rudipherous.

If anything, I resent losing last place.

I didn't vote for Elvis. I've been regretting it a little as we've counted down, and my internal jukebox is telling me That's Alright Mama is his best song.

It was between That's All Right and Mystery Train for me. Ending up going with the former, but was totally happy to see the latter take #6.
