I nominated all four of these so I’d like them all to go through

Eminem - As much as I like Evanescence, this is an easy one.

Outkast - Never heard tell of the other song.

Gary Jules - Was never too fond of Snow Patrol. Leona Lewis robbed their song and is the definitive version.

Wheatus - As much as I like Hey There Delilah, and the memories it brings back, Teenage Dirtbag is a potential outright winner.
