Great song. The two Chili Peppers songs that I likely would have taken are still up for grabs, but this one definitely would have been considered if I were participating in this draft. Love the video's pseudo-German Expressionist look, as well, and would put this high on my list of potentials if someone starts a music video draft next TDOS.
Yes, well, I didn't have any plans going into the draft with regards to a theme, but I started out with a club/dance hit, and I figured I might as well end the same way... Unfortunately, that still left me with a hundred or so to pick from. So, I pared that list down to fifteen or so, which was, in turn, narrowed down to five and, eventually, down to two... which I've been waffling back and forth on ever since MBF's last pick. But, since it's finally my turn, I'll go with the one which won my most recent coin toss:
[yt=Baby, what's your phone number?]HfHQ0T_hvrQ[/yt]
They're one of the few pop punk bands of the last 7-8 years that I like. For some reason every time my buddies and I go out for drinks we end up playing this song on the juke box.
I think this may be the hardest yet in that there is not a single list which does not have multiple songs I like upon it. When one person has 7 songs you like, incuding an all time favorite, and another has 9 songs you like, but maybe not the all time favorite, choosing is tough.

And I still don't see what the big deal is with the initial rankings. When voting for real, yeah. For rankings, eh, as long as I get them somewhat close to what I think a final order is, I'm OK with that. I can fine-tune later....

I still need 5 rankings. I will be gone for a couple days and then really busy when I get back. Hopefully, all the rankings will be in by Wednesday and I can look at setting up the voting soon thereafter.
It took 4 YEARS for our little guy to sleep through the night consistently. One guy at my work said it took their kid 5 years.
I got really jealous and a little frustrated for those whose kids were sleeping 8 hours straight after 6 months or whatever. I was a zombie for almost 4 years at work.....
