**Shania Twain** - _That Don’t Impress Me Much_ A fun song that perfectly encapsulates my wonderful memories of that year. ---

No clear winner for 1999 it seems. ---

Every so often, the plurality of voters disgust me. This is one of those times. _“Kiss Me” is leading the poll?_ ---

I cant believe I voted for a song by the _Back Street Boys_. My daughter would be proud of me; I have to go wash out my mouth with soap. Regards, Shodan ---

I call shenanigans if “I Want It That Way”, a.k.a. one of the twenty best pop songs I’ve had the pleasure of listening to, ever, doesn’t ultimately take this thing. (And in a perfect world, “Summer Girls” would be first runner up. And I say that without the slightest trace of irony.) ---

Eminem did a nice mini-parody of that song in “Marshall Mathers.” It’s pretty politically incorrect, so I won’t post a link.
