Da Butterses Top 100 Songs of the Aughts: 10-1

Hola's Blogger,

This is the moment you have all been waiting for.  Sunday, April 29th - a day you will surely tell your grandchildren about as you sit on your rocking chair contemplating your passionate love for Total.

Seriously though: every song in the top 10 should be distinctly memorable by simply seeing the name or hearing the first note.  If any of these songs are unfamiliar to you, I recommend purchasing a shovel to assist you in removing your head from the sand.

Hola's Blogger,

We're getting to the really good stuff now - 20 through 11.  If these songs do not make you laugh, cry, quit your job, run a half-marathon backwards while being ridiculously photogenic, break up a New York subway fight with Pringles, and spontaneously burst into flames - all at the same time - then there is obviously something seriously wrong with you.

Da Butterses Top 100 Songs of the Aughts: 50-41

Hello Blogger,

Today begins the countdown of the top 50 songs of the 2000's. After writing this, I've realized that VH1 did not include ANY of these 10 songs in their list. :/

50. It's Five O' Clock Somewhere - Alan Jackson (June, 2003)

VH1 - Not Listed; RSM - Not Listed

Can't believe VH1 didn't have ANY of these song in their list. But I guess if they included Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse, there wouldn't have been any room left for the REALLY important songs, like Bootylicious and Party in the USA (again, there is a great need for a sarcastic font). Anyways... thanks for reading everyone! 40-31 will be next week; keep in touch!
