wow, that's hard. I love the vocals of "Land" more but the words of "Nobody" more. so it's a tossup

"Nobody But Me," every time.

"Land" is bigger and grander, but "Nobody" has everyone shouting "Boogaloo!" at the same time, so I think it wins.

"Nobody But Me" is the most nihilistic song ever recorded. The word "no" is sung about 273 times.

And besides, before the vocals come in "Nobody" sounds exactly like "Les Yper Sound" by Stereolab. Points for that.

(btw that wasn't my observation; I pretty sure it's in Aesthetics of Rock somewhere)

I figured that approximation was either wildly guessed or quoted from somewhere.

Just as I read this, the "no no no no no no no no no no no no" part of BOC's "Joan Crawford" came on.

To sweeten the deal, we could easily make this a three-way contest with "Do You Love Me" by The Contours.

Revive!

I thought about including the latter on '65, but I never was able to track down an mp3.

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 08:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean the former. (Seriously, Sarah, brush you teeth and go to bed NOW.)

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 08:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, that shouldn't be too hard. I'll get you an mp3. E-mail me.

i quite like The Residents take on them ("N-Er-Gee").
