I hate the song American Pie so much that it tips my vote to the silky smooth voice of tax-dodging Lauren Hill. One vote for the Fugees. And several uncounted votes against American Pie in whatever contest it may find itself in. "Drove my Chevy to the levy"????? That's just lame lyricism.Pickleopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772003052474877906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-67403566228235441922015-08-07T00:14:24.024-04:002015-08-07T00:14:24.024-04:00I also have to vote for Roberta Flack.

I was fine with the rap and the beat, but there was this very strange guitar riff that seemed out of place with everything. It seemed to random for the rest of the song, then again, what do I know?

My vote easily goes to Robert Flack. I don't care for that "one time, two time" business that The Fugues added. Of course, I still think that a good cover changes it up a bit (and they did do that). I just didn't care for the change all that much. So, chalk another one for Miss Flack.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-24935673332086577182015-08-02T14:15:08.034-04:002015-08-02T14:15:08.034-04:00Okay.
