Your Songs of 2009

Since none of us want to be at work today, here's a little diversion for anyone still reading the blog. Since there's a fair bit of diversity in our group when it comes to musical preferences (well, a fair bit for a small group), it might be interesting to know the following - what are your songs of 2009? And you can define that any way you'd like to define that (best ones, the ones that are in your head most often, the ones you think will stick with you, etc.). For me such a list would include La Roux's Bulletproof, MGMT's Kids (yes, I know it was a late '08 release, but if the Grammys can count it as '09, so can we), Lily Allen's The Fear, Black-Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling, Phoenix's 1901 (just because it's the only song in the universe in more ads than that song by The Temper Trap doesn't mean it's not a good song), and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and Poker Face. Perhaps oddly given how much I listened to them at different parts of the year, no one song really stands out to me from the recent offerings by Passion Pit, Metric, and Britney Spears.
