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.

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

(cannonballo?)

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:59 (nineteen years ago) link

that was my typo, btw

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 19:59 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

wait a minute

yes

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:00 (nineteen years ago) link

(cannonballo?)

it was only released in the Italian markets

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:00 (nineteen years ago) link

it's easier if you cut and paste

― danh (danh), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:01 (nineteen years ago) link

no number ones for Cannonball?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:01 (nineteen years ago) link

"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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

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

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:05 (nineteen years ago) link

deee-lite is for the heads AND the anglophiles

― Shmool McShmool (shmuel), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:07 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

no she's a human

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm so gullible.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

credulous even

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

cow? how now?

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

mickey mouse has grown up a cow

"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

always the bridesmaids...

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I prefer 'Deep Ending'.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:14 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― cinniblount (James Blount), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

so Common People did it after all, eh?

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― pete b. (pete b.), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, "Juicy" was #35.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link

(sigh)

― rentboy (rentboy), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 20:15 (nineteen years ago) link
