"Best I Ever Had" - Drake
I thought this song was a parody of hip hop music when I first heard it but it is being taken seriously enough to warrant a Grammy nomination (!). Drake reminds me of Alanis Morissette in that both have gained recognition as serious musicians in the US while Canadians can't fathom how a rich kid who was on "Degrassi: The Next Generation"/"You Can't Do That on Television" can have any credibility.
"Stop Me" - Mark Ronson featuring Daniel Merriweather
I love the original by The Smiths but Ronson's soul-inspired remake is surprisingly good.
"See You on the Moon" - Great Lake Swimmers
This catchy song was included on a children's compilation disc meant to relieve their parents of the homicidal thoughts that can come from listening to the Wiggles for the umpteenth time. It definitely ranks right up there with Raffi's "Bananaphone".
"Just Dance" - Lady Gaga
This song has been overplayed and it is still an instant party maker. Lady Gaga's success is heartening after her gracious response to Christina Aguilera stealing her style then claiming not to know if Lady Gaga was even a woman.
Finally, this is for that special threesome, Bella, Edward and Jacob.
