    Can I still vote on everything?

    Fun fact: Marianne Faithfull’s song as tears go by was written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards and she’s in a tie with them now.

    This made me go back and listen to the Del Shannon song, realised I knew it and changed my vote

    Although I do like the iggy pop song as my mate used to play it in college


    Edit: Listened to stooges again and changed it back

    Whatever about the song itself (and while it wouldn't be a favourite of mine, there's plenty worse than it out there), Brendan Bowyer would be the line I wouldn't be prepared to cross. He was truly awful.
