i dont have no mac's
i am going to have to go with Mad World by Gary Jules & Michael Andrews

(this is the song from Donnie Darko:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world)

Right On!

There are some songs I really like in this thread, and some I've never heard of that are pretty hip. This is going to be tough, gotta listen to these songs all day :headphone

Well, I'm surprised nobody chose Under The Sea from The Little Mermaid. Too bad the contest over, it would have been a definite shoe in.

The best way I saw to approach this was in the typical iTunes style and gave them ratings. the results:

crazycanadian .......Audioslave - Be Yourself ***
meltbanana314 .....Pearl Jam - Black ****(4)
mynameis ............Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody *****(5)
Killer_VCS ............The Decline - NOFX **
Strider .................Travis - Side **
Badger .................Monty Python Sings - The Lumberjack Song **
danger_boy_13 ......Bob Marley - Jammin ****(4)
benjamindaines ......Beck - Heck Yes *
johninc .................Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop ****(4)
Robbob91 .............Ben Folds - Beetches Aint Shizz *
Murlyn .................MercyMe - Homesick *
kiwimac ...............Meatloaf - Bat Out of heck ***
iWhat ..................Las Ketchup - Aserejé ****(4)
coach_z ...............Gary Jules & Michael Andrews - Mad World *
PowerBookG4 .......Shaggy - Wasnt Me *
sonofapplepm .......Tori Amos - Caught a Lite Sneeze *
Macman ...............Battlestar America - Metermaid Anthem *

so mynameis will be getting a free song (check your PMs). theres only a few songs that hold a light to that song.

however, I got another free song today, so there are 2 winners. but since there are several songs with 4 stars, i decided to re-evaluate the song based on where the song falls in the bands list of top songs. here are my notes:

>>Bob Marley - Jammin : definitely a good song, but barely in the top 5 of Bob's best songs.

>>Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop: One of the most recognizable punk songs of all time, and only second to Surfin' Bird.

>>Pearl Jam - Black : Pearl Jam. excellent. There are some very good live dub version of this song. And even though most songs on Ten are good, Black is contention for their best song.

>>Las Ketchup - Aserejé : this song is very hip and catchy. Don't like how they switch between English then Spanish. Their other songs are kinda annoying (heavily repetitive beats), but the girls are very hott! :biohazard

so after much deliberation, i decided to give it to meltbanana314 with Black by Pearl Jam. but when i get more free songs, i will give them out next to iWhat, then johninc, followed by danger_boy_13.

and after those, if i have any more codes, I will hold another one of these contests. Thanks everyone, I found some good songs from this.

Thanks, now I have to decide which version to get, there are 4 on iTunes. I'll probably just get the one off Classic Queen.

Awwww, I was on the road while this was going on! I totally would have won by picking Scorpions- Rock You Like A Hurricane. Total shoe-in. Guess it was fair I didn't participate. ;)
