Whatever, guys. You can vote me down, but it's true.

Well I'd vote (if I was going to) for the Ventures over Flaming Lips anyway

As a proud Oklahoman, I'm abstaining from the vote because my suggestion of The Lips' "Brainville" was edged out in favor of that schmaltzy piece of crap.

If this gets out to the pre-teen set, "Move Along" has a decent shot of taking this thing.

Wasn't Move Along also used as a WWE theme song at one point in time? *shudder*

I do miss driving around aimlessly along the streets of the Midwest/Del City area...wow, that was years ago!
