I debated including CtC...but for the sake of being complete...I decided to include it...

An embarrassment of riches, so to speak. Um, "Movers and Shakers" is just as bad as anything else, yet less immediately memorable, so it gets the nod.

i literally can't understand how anyone would vote for anything other than dictator. the worst song on the record leads the whole thing off. madness.

It succeeds in this context by being ludicrously inept. I'll never vote for it.

Are You Red... Y is the only good production on this side. Movers and Shakers is my vote.

See, I like both of those. I think Movers has a good melody and love those mariachi horns.

Dictator has grown on me a little. It's a mess but feel there's some potential there.

Agree with the horns in Movers, not a bad effort.

I'm surprised the song with the worst ever chorus isn't winning/losing.

We got one thing 
We are the Clash"

Urgh.

While I am sad that "Dictator" will be leaving us shortly—those drum sounds! those samples! those everythings!—I am pleased that every track has been singled out as worthy of being shitcanned.

That is a truly putrid chorus...

Dr. Hoydulla. It's one of my favorite songs on the album because it's such an aural abortion.

Went with We Are The Clash. No good hooks and it's really dumb.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
