Guest Speed Racer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It will be Via Chicago. And that blurb will read: "Best song. Worst fan site. Suck it, h8ers." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 And that blurb will read: "Best song. Worst fan site. Suck it, h8ers." That would be brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Summerteeth has 2 represented, and sadly, I don't think it will get another....though I think it's almost criminal to not have at least one of the following on a Top 20 Tweedy list: Pieholden Suite, How to Fight Lonliness or Via Chicago. I'll try the impossible....and predict the final 3 songs. 3. At Least That's What You Said or Hell is Chrome or Spiders (I'll predict Spiders, though Hell is Chrome is my personal fave. One of these MUST be on a top 20 Tweedy list.) 2. IITTBYH or Ashes of American Flags or Poor Places (I'll predict Ashes. All 3 of these are arguably better than the 2 YHF songs he's listed so far.) 1. Boxful of Letters or OuttaMind/OuttaSite (I'll predict Boxful of Letters. Both got good radio play back in the day. A.M. has only one represented so far.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 good call with ashes. i forgot about that. i still think it's going to be iattbyh. the sam jones documentary probably boosted its popularity. "i am an american aquarium drinking" better be the quote. Or perhaps it should be "i am an american aquarium drinker." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boo jim boo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 my guess on final 3: 3. Via Chicago2. Misunderstood1. IATTBYH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although, I still wish for something more. Oh well. Great tune, it really anchors SBS so well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Runaway Jim Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good joke, Dude. You totally had me. And I was pissed. IATTBYH at 3 is good. I have it at 5 on my list. Can't complain really. And it was a little better of a write up. Maybe he read our complaints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good joke, Dude. You totally had me. And I was pissed. The great part is, he's done enough goofy choices earlier in the list to almost make this one seem like a possibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The great part is, he's done enough goofy choices earlier in the list to almost make this one seem like a possibility. It's going to be his number one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe32 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Or perhaps it should be "i am an american aquarium drinker." as that's the lyric, perhaps. but who knows edit: just saw it's number 3, and he posted an entirely arbitrary line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 God, what a song. Much better than Shake It Off, the selection of which almost made me throw up until I realized i was being punk'd. It was a sort like a Rick Roll, only the click-through outcome was way better than anticipated, not way worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I've said it before (I think) but I don't understand the vehement hate for Shake it Off. I realize some people find the song annoying (I don't), but do you guys truly think the lyrics are bad? I think they're great. I'm not saying it's a better song than IATTBYH. I'm just saying. I'm standing by my July 16th prediction of Ashes as #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has more to do with melody than lyrics for me. I thought it would be an amusing #3. It doesn't mean I think it's in the bottom 3, either, but it's closer to the bottom than it is to the top.
