these coats are widely available, u r in luck!

for the longest time I thought it was some kind of movie reference (ie two friends pretending to be a famous couple)

Yeah, it definitely FEELS that way too - - - reminds me of, like, "Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins. ("Just like Bogey and Bacall")

whitney tate hermitage and dia

'shoe, I take it back. Chevy Chase on the wrong day is just Chevy Chase on the wrong day, but the video's fine.

OMIGOD I remember those commercials

looool museum of herbs

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I hate "I Am A Rock". So that.

Feelin groovy is horseshit

whoa not groovy man

"Feelin' Groovy" will win/lose this, and I will feel very sad.

eh, toss up between "59th st bridge song" and "call me al". both grating, but goofily appealing if you can get past that. don't get the hate for the rest. both "parsely, sage, museum, etcet" and "hazy shade" are GR888!

went for the groovy, sorry clemenza

hello lamppost go fuckyourself = ILX not feelin' groovy

buncha jerks

Yeah, "Groovy." I don't hate it, but it's only slightly better than "Red Rubber Ball."

Almost voted for "Duncan" just because I'm so puzzled that it's #4, but if it had been in the bottom 20 I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Best song missing entirely from the Top 60: "The Coast." Shoulda voted.

"red rubber ball", otoh, is wonderful. one of the dumbest omission from my ballot.

"Hey lamppost, whatcha knowin"

However, I voted for Sound of Silence because it's drecky, self-serious college litmag poetry.

Not gonna vote for a worst here, but "Graceland" is a baffling (to me) winner of the og poll.

lagoon I am mad at u regarding Cecilia. You crazy.

is he breaking your heart

I fall on the floor and I'm laughing

who was it that said Cecilia could've been a Faust song? m coleman?

I've known the words to "59th St" since i was about 7, so eff the rest of u

and with "Al," "What if I die here?" is something I tthink in nearly every place I don't want to be, every day.

(preview of middle age, gratis)

its an interesting question

obv "I don't find this stuff amusing anymore" is something I think 50x a day too

ha

<3 dr, morbz

59th st was also a camp song for me. Fast triplet da's are awkward for a chorus of 11-year-olds to sing.

I came here to vote for "Loves Me Like a Rock", but didn't find it so I went for "The Obvious Child" instead.

just listening to hazy shade of winter and its p funny, look around leaves are brown theres a patch of snow on the ground DONT U SEE

and yet you voted Cecilia

all of you people saying "Scarborough Fair" are disgusting Philistines who don't deserve music

ty

but "Scarborough Fair" is from an earlier century when ppl and their art was lol ridiculous

sorry ;_;

DJP OTM

ive been listening to the songs from the poll that i wasnt intimately familiar with and lets just say that my fondness for s&g hasnt really bloomed during this period of exploration

re "hazy shade of winter": i find the naivete sort of endearing. a young man in an act of self-important "wisdom" trying to say something serious abt what it must like to be old. young people do this a lot, especially the poetic ones, but they seldom attach their instructive musings to such glorious music.

its a cool song dont get me wrong, the silliness works

its a p exciting song tbh

the 12-string guitar riff is like a perfect Rubber Soul/Revolver knockoff
