yeah i thought 'video games' was a tongue in cheek subversion of the trope you're talking about
I hear ZERO subversion in this song
like seriously, the whole song is her being all "I have on your favorite dress and your favorite perfume, now parade me around like a trophy"
That's not even getting into the soporific music

I'm glad to see my #1 for Disco en Paradiso was better spent than it would have been on Super Bass.

xp the music is actually the big problem, it's really boring

"212" is fun but honestly I would rather listen to the tracks AB picks as backing material rather than the songs she puts over them

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:03 (fourteen years ago)
my preferred order would have been Super Bass -> Countdown -> 212 -> Video Games.

Me too, although I didn't vote for Countdown due to voting for 4. HM.

I like Video Games a lot, though I'm pretty cool on the whole Cult of Lana thing. Having listened to her album now, it cements my opinion that she really only had that one really good song in her. Glad it was #2 here. She was a big part of 2011's second half, for better or for worse.
Did I mention that I LOVE the backing track for Video Games? Because I do. It's not boring. It's not soporific. It's gorgeous.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:04 (fourteen years ago)
the 2 people who made "born this way" their #1 need to show themselves right now. is that serious?!
― prolego, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:05 (fourteen years ago)
Thanks johnny fever! Highly entertaining and inspirational countdown.

I'm going to be geeking out over this spreadsheet for a while now since it mostly looks like work.
I noticed that Spice by Perfume is on there twice, once at 152 and once at 194. mostly noticed because I was surprised that anyone else voted for it.
― fffv, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:08 (fourteen years ago)
thanks JF, hero :)
who do i email to get my ballots sent to me? i forgot to save :(

sigh. Delilah, Jhene and Purity Ring all within spitting distance of the top 77 but not quite.

Great job Johnny Fever and seandalai!
― encarta it (Gukbe), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:10 (fourteen years ago)
I'll have to check what's up with Perfume - that really shouldn't be possible.
― CJ Fam Club (seandalai), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:11 (fourteen years ago)
had i voted i would've put it at #1 or #2
ah well

derrick carters refix of that azalea banks is really good don't like the original that much
― Cashmere Combabe, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:13 (fourteen years ago)
I just checked for other double entries and it appears that Spice is the only one where there it an exact match on the item name. Does this mean that it is actually #51? I'm going to go ahead and believe that it is.
― fffv, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
Bummer that "Baby, Let Me Finish" finished so low (only one other voter besides me, looks like) -- I thought it'd be catnip to this crowd.
― jaymc, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
I voted for Baby, Let Me Finish!
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
I left off "Stranger" at the last moment, but I don't think I would've given it enough points to make the top 77 anyway.
― jaymc, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:15 (fourteen years ago)
High five, Alex!
it wouldnt have taken many
also Still Sound was #81! I should've just kicked it a few notches higher!
― ban dejar (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:17 (fourteen years ago)
omg omg 212 is amazing i've never heard it before!
― jed_, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
If I'd voted "Stranger" would've been my #1 so sorry guyz :(
― DO NOT CALL (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
holy fuck this song!!!! thanks x
― jed_, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)
I mean, I didn't end up fitting in Stranger in either I think, so it's my fault also.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:23 (fourteen years ago)
I need to double check.
Man bad to have to be out on site all morning, but thanks for doing all the hard work. The images were A+++++ and I've fallen for more than a handful of new to me songs.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:27 (fourteen years ago)
i'm so excited to be excited by 212!
― jed_, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)
kind of lolling that the top 2 are not on Spotify, so it looks like "Super Bass" won
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)
so many rong opinions itt but i think the worst of all, somehow managing to top lex's kid sister > lil wayne challop, is jordan saying motivation doesn't sound sexy
― guilt is a useless emoticon (D-40), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:30 (fourteen years ago)

Now, lets listen to this number one, as it's completely unknown to me
― future debts collector (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:30 (fourteen years ago)
aw, too bad
tempted to put a karaoke version of "Video Games" in there, seeing as the one I listened to was virtually indistinguishable from the original

i can't help it if you think wayne's verse on "motivation" is good
maybe it is you with the rong opinions! ever think about that?

― blurgh (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
Wayne's verse is bad for sure, but I have to admit I dont like the way the drum beat changes when Kid Sis starts rapping; it feels v tacked on
I might not 'get' this whole Chicago Juke thing
