"I've got my giant hit 'Disco Duck' album"

FHTE version is epic, even taking into account Chimes.

Voted for "Straight To Hell," but didn't think it was gonna place at this point. Woo!

I only have one of these last two pegged. I'm gonna slap myself when I see the other, aren't I?

figured this had to place somewhere. not a fan m'self.

xp yes for definite

Lovely cover of it here, btw

From the numbers, is Straight to Hell the most voted for song?

"Straight to Hell" is one of the best jukebox songs of all time. You can bring a bar to its knees with that one (plus it goes on for a while, so you get your credit's worth)

I know Train in Vain wasn't really hidden, which is why i used quote marks, but people used to call it a hidden track as it wasn't on the cover tracklist.
Bummed that Safe European Home wasn't top 3 at least.

Every song in the top 5 is number 1.

Massive point jump to the top 2. Gonna post them together because it should be obvious by now.

damn, that straight to hell embed is disabled already

Groovy Times?

One of 'em is my #1. Hopefully it's also THE #1.

"Ducks on the roof!"

come on "Rebel Waltz"...

Duck stabbing time

FOILED!

Wow! Did not expect "Complete Control" to be up there! Great winner folks!

Not that WMIHP isn't a worthy champ.

My #s 5 and 9. I'm more than OK with these results.

that's a couple of decent songs right there

Seven #1s below three #1s--surprising.

"Complete Control" had by more the most #1 votes with 7, but there were 25 different songs that got a #1 vote out of 43 ballots.

by far the most*

999 points is a suitably punky kissoff

My number 1 didn't make it. :(

"We Are The Clash"?

complete control my #1, blistering. i realized during this poll it is basically the same structure as safe european home, my #2. if it ain't broke.

Nice work, Gukbe! And nice work six other "Complete Control" #1 voters.

I don't remember "Straight to Hell" being such a big deal at the time--maybe I'm wrong. Is it revered now primarily because of the sample?

Sorry, 26 different #1s. And EZ Snappin, it was number 77.

By the early 90s, it was a song I always heard at parties.

Straight to Hell, that is.

"Rebel Waltz" was 62. Just outside the countdown!
