Best Song of 2000: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Here we go dudes!

You get TEN TICKS IN TOTAL over the three bits of the poll. But only the top five will go through to the next stage so choose wisely!

If you change your mind, you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.

Ten ticks is the maximum but you may tick fewer if you find the list is uninspiring!

For your ticking pleasure, I've added the UK chart placing in brackets where applicable.

Explain your ticks (and your agonising decisions) in the comments!

The Hoku song I love isn't this one, but "How Do I Feel (The Burrito Song)."

The Oxide and Neutrino song I love isn't this one (which I still need to check out apparently), but "Devil's Nightmare," from the Tomb Raider soundtrack.

The D.A.D. song Frank remembers liking is "Sleeping the Day Away," from the late '80s. Which is much better, admittedly, but I voted for their ode to cunnilingus above anyway.

I'm also the only vote so far for the Goo Goo Dolls' Replacements/Bon Jovi hybrid, which is the only Goo Goo Dolls song I've ever liked (at least since their late '80s I guess debut album on an indie metal label, but I haven't heard that for decades almost and I don't remember it being all that great anyway.)

Came real close to opting for likeably pretty wimps the Clientele (still have that 7-inch), but chickened out and jumped on the bandwagon for clear consensus choice "Big Pimpin'" instead.

'Devil's Nightmare' is also off their 2001 album Execute, I also prefer it to 'Bound 4 Da Reload' (but might prefer 'Remy On Da Floor' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INMhZzDqy8c) to either) and I shall be nominating it for the 2001 rounds.

I say you say we say they say MAKE SOME NOISE

Are non-UK dudes aware of the whole Casualty theme tune sampling thing on Bound 4 Da Reload? This was such a huge thing at the time - long-running UK medical soap opera makes underground garage hit into MAJOR CHART BUSTER. It confused the hell out of me when I first walked into our sixth form common room at school in 1999 and thought 'hang on when did we get a telly? Why is Casualty on at 1 in the afternoon? WHAT IS GOING ON'

I had no idea until reading this that there was a Casualty, much less that it had a theme song.
