I guess Le Freak didn’t qualify.

Correct. “Le” is an article.

mmm

The final poll to determine the best S song is up and running.

mmm

And Freak starts with an F so it should qualify, right?

Oh man, so sorry Elmer!

You’ll get 6 entries next time around.

mmm

Write-in voters, unite!

I know the nominations are closed, but:
Finishing Touches, by Warren Zevon

Waiting for the next letter to be officially announced…

Probably tomorrow. I don’t want to overload the board with this nonsense.

mmm

It is not nonsense. It is kinda fun.

I appreciate that, @DrDeth.

The next poll is up.

mmm

If I picked that tune I would nominate the Ella Fitzgerald version, even though Nat King Cole might have had a more popular version.

And of course after the nominations close I thought of ‘Funk 49’ by the James Gang, and ‘From Now On’ by Supertramp.

I was torn between “Fortunate Son” and “Free Falling” for the last spot, but in the end I chose Tom Petty, maybe because it came out during my conscious lifetime and affected me more.
