When I first heard that, I thought she was singing “I’m meditating,” which my then-10-year-old kid though was hilarious.
(I hope it’s okay to start making random comments in the thread — I think MMM is about to close the initial list of L’s.)
I don’t mind random comments at any point, as long as you’re not naming suggested submissions for others (which is also ok once the polls are posted).
mmm
This would have been my first nomination, had you not already named it. One of my favorite songs from the past decade-plus, of any letter. 
Funny video.
Good one! I know it more from its covers (Miranda Lambert, Blind Pilot…) than from the original – kinda like certain Bob Dylan songs.
Yeah, I love it. I love American Utopia. I love David Byrne.
“Look at Miss Ohio” came up during my workout this morning - I have all the L nominees on shuffle mode. I’ll be voting for it.
mmm
Well, to be honest I also find “I’m levitating” sort of hilarious but it’s catchy song.
@Mean_Mr.Mustard
If you would, please replace
Little Girl Blue and The Battle Envy Skating Polly, 2018
with
A Little Late, Skating Polly, 2014
OK, we have 72 entries, looking to cut the cord at 100. Everyone take 3 more if you’d like.
@MrDibble - Want to leave both “Little Girl Blue…” and “A Little Late” in?
mmm

Probably should have put it in my first five. It’s majestic and gorgeous.
For extra fun, here’s him doing it live with a synth improvisation (which in his own words “may or may not suck”) as an intro, The lyrics are more intelligible than in the studio version.
Yes, please
