The penultimate qualifying groups - not much more to say other than go and vote in them!

Winners of the fifth batch include: Eminem's "Real Slim Shady" in the closest qualifying group ever (top vote - 15, bottom vote - 12); Kelis trouncing the opposition; "Vogue" squeaking past Chic, and the Spice Girls enjoying a late surge to take them past Gwen and Portishead.

Tomorrow's final groups include three Jop poll winners, erm and some other stuff.

Re: Cadillacs not on 22s, or the radio

Early '60s there were a whole series of cars and motorbikes in music (including the Storey Sisters great, generic "Bad Motorcycle," with the great line "He's a bad motorcycle," i.e., a good-bad sexy boy who rides a motorcycle), Hondas and Cobras and GTOs making it into song titles. I doubt that there were any endorsement deals or payoffs, since the records were piggybacking on the youth popularity of the automobiles rather than vice versa (or a symbiosis, anyway).
