My favorite songs of the decade - Part 4

“Last Request” by Paolo Nutini

One of the best break-up on good terms songs ever. If you’re yelling at the end of your relationship, this one’s not for you.

“Click” by Good Charlotte

Look, I didn’t know they were going to be the Muppet Babies of punk. I dug the song because it was the theme for the cartoon “Undergrads.” Rocco rocks!

“East Side” by Smoother

It’s a lightweight pop song that seems to be about living it up on spring break. But given the subject matter, it’s sure fun to revisit each year when the weather starts getting warm.

“Drew the Moo Cow” by Tom Judson aka Gus Mattox

You wouldn’t think that I’d love a song that was written by a gay porn star and was the basis for a Nickelodeon short cartoon, but you’d be wrong. Of course, it meant that whenever I would see his “work” this song would run through my head, thus inhibiting my mood. He thought it was funny, though.

“Bohemian Like You” by the Dandy Warhols

Hands down, the best use of the “Gimme Shelter” chord progression; maybe even better than the original. Another one of those songs that sounds great when you’re loaded. And after watching the documentary about them and the Brian Jones Massacre, it seems like that was one of their intentions.
