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?

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

  10. 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."

  15. 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.
