Poll question: Favorite Sofboys Song - did I miss the memo?
I don't see any other music polls, and I saw some negativity recently about favorite song polls, but didn't see any final response that polls as such couldn't be listed...

Somehow, if I am wrong to do so, I expect that someone will inform me... :shrug:

Anyway, I gots my star and wanted to do a poll - one of merit. What better way than to do a poll on a great artist - Robyn Hitchcock, and his great band, The Soft Boys. Of course, this career has spanned 25 years now and could be broken into Softboys, Robyn solo, and Robyn and the Egyptians, but, today, lets just leave it at these 10 original, no covers, Soft Boys songs. I know I am leaving out some great ones, but remember, there are only 10 choices...

I'm guessing we will be setting some records with the number of posts here!

sinking fast...

1. Has to be "I Wanna Destroy You"
And still so topical.

8. That would've been a nice one for this poll
but its hard to pick one. Way Way H., probably, enough great memories of him doing that live. I swear, I have left his shows laughing harder than at any improv night.

5. Ever hear the Debbie Gibson/Circle Jerks version?
Of "I Wanna Destroy You," that is... It was really, really bad.

6. My god
glad to have msised that! Did you see the Amazon.com advertisement on TV last winter with I wanna destroy you as the soudntrack? Guy cruising a mall parking lot looking for a space, waits on an old man to fumble through his pockets for keys, adjust the mirror, etc. All the while, the guy in the car is turning up his car stereo, which is playing I Wanna Destroy You. Wrong-headed approach to use of the song, and once the sniper stuff started I didn't see it any more... Oddly enough.
