I guess you could say... "Thunderbirds Are Gone".

(And with that, I've written David Graham's headline should he debut on the list- maybe)

It feels like The Beatles are having an on/off relationship with Dusty Springfield. So close and yet so far from each other every few hours.

Is anyone downvoting songs purely because they're at/near the bottom of the list, not because they don't like them? Just asking, like.

TBH I don't dislike any of the songs left so my tactic is to try and create a gap between top and bottom half

How did we end up with the worst Beatles song available as the sole survivor?  GREAT lyrics there *heavy sarcasm*.  I’ll come after that one guns-a-blazin’ once those bottom couple are gone.  In fact if you put the Four Tops where the Beatles are and The Beach Boys where the Four Tops are, I’d say that’s almost perfect order top to bottom.  Nothing against The Kinks, they should be right about where I stuck them.  I’ll have no quarrel with them unless they start getting too big for their britches, like that shite Beatles song is trying to do.
