how much for those magic beans alba?

Guys, now is the time to admit that I used "exit-poll data" to make my predictions -- and even though "Everlong" had one #1 vote, it also only had 5 votes total. Whereas "Cannonball" had 16 votes total. Advantage Breeders.

it's been a cruel and tasteless week, tricky. for one thing, i'm beginning to doubt that shimmy shimmy ya will place.

"Cannonballo was the best song ever, really."
-- Dan I.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

(Also, I think "Cannonball" will be the clearest evidence of the corny indie fuxx vote in the top 10.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

(cannonballo?)

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

that was my typo, btw

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

The only thing that can surprise me now is if the order of CP and GIITH are reversed.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

wait a minute

yes

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

(cannonballo?)

it was only released in the Italian markets

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

it's easier if you cut and paste

― danh (danh), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

no number ones for Cannonball?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

"Cannonballo was the best song ever, really. No one knows exactly what happened to the tapes. What you hear in "Cannonball" is a pale imitation of the glory of the original "Cannonballo"

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a weird instrumental demo of "Cannonball" on a mix tape from a long time ago. Maybe that's "Cannonballo."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

to forestall criticism, i want djdee to remember that q-tip is on the probable no. 2 track.

"awoooooo-ooooooooooooooooh!"

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

haha - q-tip's on the new r.e.m. album: THAT MEANS NOTHING

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

deee-lite is for the heads AND the anglophiles

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

if only Canon & Ball had done Bootsy's bits on Groove Is IN The Heart it would've beaten The Joker to the #1 spot back in 1990

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone told me that Lady Miss Kier is a cow, which put me off Deee-Lite a bit.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

no she's a human

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm so gullible.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

credulous even

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

cow? how now?

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

mickey mouse has grown up a cow

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

"for all the lady miss kiers"

"there must be some way we can scientifically prove that "Groove Is in the Heart" is the most perfect song ever recorded ???"
-- Sonny A.

" "Groove Is In The Heart" has the secret power of being fun to dance to even if you can't dance. It's genius, obviously."
-- Tim Finney

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

always the bridesmaids...

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I prefer 'Deep Ending'.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

no "juicy", either? i don't have my ballot, but i think i put it no. 4. but it's plausible that it wouldn't appear here at all. common people is definitely around the corner.

― m. (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i think "juicy" was way down there buried between pulp b-sides

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

People, really! Groove Is In The Heart is a much better somg than Common People!

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, I've never heard of #2 either.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

so Common People did it after all, eh?

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

juicy is way up the top somewhere. NO SCRUBS FOR #1 YAY!!!!

― pete b. (pete b.), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, "Juicy" was #35.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

But after a download, it appears I have *heard* it.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

(sigh)

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah Juicy was 35.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)
