That's one of the best songs ever in the history of music, really thought it was gonna win this thing :/ but guess people in here are too young :/ One of the best songs in the history of music? I mean I know music is a subjective thing but that's a bit of a stretch. It's an alright song, it's fine to listen to when it comes on the radio but I've never thought of it as a classic or anything, and certainly nowhere near a contender to win this.

February 11, 20205 yr Author 43. Laurie Anderson - O Superman 104 pts Stopped by : Dave Stewart with Barbara Gaskin - It's My Party Top points - Suedehead 25,Chez Wombat 23,King Rollo 22 Another song in this countdown to become a hit after being championed by John Peel. It's probably the most unusual song ever to reach the top 2 of the singles chart. For a start,it's over eight minutes long. Some of the lyrics are quite haunting now in the way they predict 9/11. The single's chart run of 18-2-3-15-24-54 is quite unusual for that time as well. Many people,including myself,found it annoying so it didn't quite have the appeal to a wide audience to hang around the chart. It was well after the 80s had finished that I came to appreciate how great this song really is. Vkfpi2H8tOE

He wrote it after seeing British soldiers on the streets during a trip to Belfast. It wins a tie-break over 'O Superman' by 8 votes to 5. LrjHz5hrupA
February 11, 20205 yr The Kinks should have finished higher than that but otherwise good results so far.
February 11, 20205 yr O Superman is one of the most unique chart hits I've ever heard, I had never heard it prior to coming across it in the '1001 songs to hear before you die' book but it was such a standout moment, I really wish I'd be alive to see the reaction to that. Shame it's so low, but it did well to get this far given I wasn't really aware many knew it on here!
February 12, 20205 yr O Superman is definitely an unlikely top 2 single. I'm torn on it, I can appreciate it retrospectively for its influence on experimental electronic music but I do find it a chore to sit through all 8 minutes - I just tried again and got to about 5 minutes before getting bored of it.

Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us 112 pts Stopped by : The Rubettes - Sugar Baby Love Top points - AH Gold 25,Achabaan 24,Suedehead 21 The only top 5 single for the American group who have always been more at home in the UK. The distinctive gunshot sounds were added after the production team thought that there was something missing from the finished recording. Five of the six people who voted for this song gave it a score of 20 points or more. Sparks are showing no signs of slowing down. Just three years after their last album,they have a new one coming out in May. eUJ_ifjKopM
