Idea shamelessly stolen from Jupe.
The following list is the top 20 songs from our iTunes library, sorted by amount of times the songs have been played.
Just for a sense of suspense (ha!) I'm going to list them countdown style.
20 - I'm Giving Santa a Pikachu This Christmas by the Pokemon Christmas Bash (21 times) - Heh.
19 - Don't Let's Start by They Might Be Giants (22 times) - "No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful." So, so true.
18 - Look What You've Done by Jet (22 times) - What can I say? This song sounds Beatles-esque, thus it gets played.
17 - Jingle Bells by James Taylor (22 times) - Xmastime is popular around here.
16 - Looks Good (But You Looked Away) by The Helio Sequence (22 times)
15 - Clap Your Hands by They Might Be Giants (23 times) - Dude. It's TMBG. It's catchy. It's totally danceable. It's under a minute and a half long. I'm amazed we've not played it more.
14 - Two-Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel (23 times) - NMH is the type of band that you would think that most people would hate, (and probably do) but it's so good!
13 - Ramona by Guster (23 times) - I like Guster, and probably would've never heard of them if not for Soupy. Thanks!!
12 - Trains to Brazil by Guilemots (23 times) - Oh! I've heard this song plenty (23!) of times, but never really knew what it was. Heh. I always thought it was The Shins. Now I know.
11 - King of Carrot Flowers Part 1 by Neutral Milk Hotel (24 times) - I think this may be my favorite NMH song.
10 - Experimental Film by They Might Be Giants (25 times) - Even though I can't explain it, I already know how great it is. I dare anyone to listen to this song (or watch the homestarrunner-based video) and not be put in a good mood.
9 - Young Pilgrims by The Shins (27 times) - "I know there is this side of me that wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just fly the whole mess into the sea."
Preach it, brother.
8 - Delicate by Damien Rice (28 times)
7 - Kissing the Lipless by The Shins (29 times)
6 - Don't Look Away by The Helio Sequence (29 times) - Hear song. Must dance.
5 - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel (30 times) - This one's good, too.
4 - Your Attitude Towards Cuttlefish by Paper Moon (33 times) - According to the 'last played' on iTunes, we haven't heard this since November of last year. But it was popular at the time, huh?
3 - My Favorite Things by Nathan (37 times) - Um. Who? But, yeah. Still a good cover.
2 - Meow Meow Lullaby by Nada Surf (38 times) - The ending is a little too repetitive for my liking, but the girls (obviously) love this song. I like it too, I just think that Nada Surf could've cut out a few 'meows' at the end.
and the most played song on our iTunes list...
1 - Spider Pig by Hans Zimmer, from the Simpsons Movie Soundtrack (39 times) - It's only a minute long, so it's easy to do multiple listens repeatedly.

Yay! I think more people should shamelessly steal my ideas.
I remember that Jet song! I heard it on the radio once, and then the radio dude gushed about how they sounded like the Beatles, and my assessment was: "Actually, they sound like Oasis trying to sound like the Beatles."
I love Neutral Milk Hotel. I think that The King of Carrot Flowers parts 1, 2, and 3 are a good measure of whether or not you'll like the band. If you get all of them ... you're in.
