[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Taking us up to the VERY BRINK of the Top 10.

17. FREEMASONS ft BAILEY TZUKE - "Uninvited"

Poptimists sleeper hit alert! Undistinguised video tho B Tzuke is a pretty lady. YouTube comments include debate about whether Freemasons are ACTUAL MASONS.

Watch on YouTube

16. LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - "Someone Grebt"

This is a single version in which a hipster has sex with A VOID omg. Does rather tilt the "is it about a break up OR DEATH" qn though.

15. GROOVE ARMADA ft MUTYA BUENA - "Song 4 Mutya (Out Of Control)"

Embedding disabled but who cares, it's a disappointingly boring video anyway.

14. KANYE WEST - "Stronger"

Kanye rebuilt by robotz!

Watch on YouTube

13. BRITNEY SPEARS - "Get Naked (I Has A Plan)"

Not yet (& probably not ever) a single - here's an unofficial video.

12. LIL MAMA - "Lip Gloss"

Embedding disabled here too which is a great shame as this is an awesome video w/magic lipgloss!

11. FALL OUT BOY - "The Take Over, The Break's Over"

Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog in the emo video.

I really hate all emo. I don't like in conceptually - boys whining about their 'problems' is never good! - but in practice I just can't get past the emo boy voice, which is even worse than most indie voices.

but but but so much great malevoice r'n'b boils down to 'boys whining about their problems'!

I feel bad every time I pick on you, Lex, but jeez, your world is so not-fun - we are racist if we don't like R&B, only people with good voices should sing, no guitars please, etc. I was as closed-minded as you when I was 20, maybe - is there any hope of you coming around?

It's not being closed-minded, it's having standards. And it's lots of fun!

I know I have said this before, but:

Even when I don't like FOB songs (usually), I tend to like the titles.
