What are your favorite songs that begin with the letter Y and were released on or after January 1, 2000? See rules in OP [Final Poll added]

RULES:

Submissions must begin with the letter Y. Exclude articles such as “a”, “an”, “the”, etc. that begin the title. Example: “The Hokey Pokey” belongs in the H poll, not the T poll.

Songs must have been first released on or after January 1, 2000.

IMPORTANT: You must include the year of release with each submission. Entries that do not will be excluded.

No cover songs allowed, unless the original was released on or after 1/1/2000.

I humbly ask for everyone’s assistance in ensuring that we all adhere to these rules. Please politely point out any questionable entries.

Submissions are limited to 5 per person. Please do not post title suggestions or comments on alternative titles. This takes a little of the fun out of the process. It is ok, after the polls are posted, to name titles that have been overlooked.

If you edit your already-posted entry to make a change, I may not see it. Please do not edit your posted list or re-post your entire list – this gets confusing - just add a new post with changes or additions only. EXAMPLE: Remove “A Day in the Life” and add “Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast.”

You are allowed to make changes to your entries (see previous paragraph) up until the time that the first polls are posted.

You must include the artist (not the composer, unless they are the same person) or your submission will not be counted.

Polls will appear in this thread once submissions begin to wind down.

Classical releases are excluded.

Final poll, also in this thread, will narrow the field to 10-ish.

You Asked for This, Halsey (2021)
Yange, Aurelio Martinez and the Garifuna Soul Band (2017)

Years – Sierra Ferrell (Orig. John Anderson 2020)

Yoshiwara Lament – Wagakki Band (2014)

  1. You’re Welcome- Cast of Moana (Dwayne Johnson) (2016)

  2. You’re On Your Own, Kid- Taylor Swift (2022)

A healthy dose of CanCon from a remarkably narrow time-span:

  1. Yeah! — The Golden Dogs (2004)

  3. You Wouldn’t Like Me — Tegan & Sara (2004)
  4. Your Ex-Lover Is Dead — The Stars (2004)

Form the first two titles, I assumed CanCon meant “canine something.”

It’s “Canadian content.” :slight_smile:

Last poll thread! I’d be sad but I’m looking forward to the Spotify playlist.

Yellow Bridges - El Ten Eleven (2012). Guitar-heavy instrumental with another Cyriak Harris video.

The Yellow Mile - Marika Hackman (2024)

You Know My Name (from Casino Royale) - Chris Cornell (2006)

Your Country - Gogol Bordello (2007)

You’re On Fire - They Might Be Giants (2013). Also rather a fun video

A Year in Its Passing - The Wilderness of Manitoba (2012)
You and Me On the Rock - Brandi Carlile and Lucius (2022)

The first song sounds, to me, like what you’d get if a modern indie band did a cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper.”

Needs more cowbell.

Look, if I hadn’t said it, someone else would have.

Possibly showing some Nashville local bias with 2, 4 and 5:

Y Control – Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2003)

Young Folks – Peter Bjorn and John ft. Victoria Bergsman (2006)
Your Best American Girl – Mitski (2016)
Your Dog – Soccer Mommy (2018)

Related: original version of “You First” (also 2023)

Totally beat me to it. Best drum intro since 2000.

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Part 2 - The Flaming Lips - 2002
The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song - The Flaming Lips - 2006
