Song Of The Decade
News reaches me that BBC Radio 5 Live's discerning listeners have voted Verve's Bittersweet Symphony the song that best sums up the Blair decade (worse, Robbie Williams' Angels was 2nd). Come on, bloggers - what's the real song of the Blair decade?

Surely it's still 'Things Can Only Get Better', but now more ironic than ever.

"I Wanna Be Adored" by The Stone Roses.
And, tragically, he still thinks he is...

Strange Fruit. It's about Mandelson.

Actually, I take that back. Surely it's something by Scooch.

Thank you Chip, I've just been to www.scooch.co.uk. I'm thinking of suing for aural assault.

i think that Super Furry Animals song fits, i believe it's called 'The Man Don't Give a Fuck'.

Go Now! the Moody Blues - that might work on two levels.

I'm not too sure about song of the decade, but one contender for song of the year could be, Ella Fitzgerlad's "I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair."

A delightfully ambiguous title that, Ronin

That it is, Bryan, that it is (and thank you for noticing).

Fall Out Boy's song, "Sugar, We're Goin' Down." My favorite line: "I'll be your number one with a bullet, a loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it."
Actually, this really is a great song. My daughter put it on a mix CD for me.
