The 100 Best Songs of 2007

61 "Down Boy"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The art-punk threesome has never made a sicker, sleazier sound. Singer Karen O wails her heart out, and when guitarist Nick Zinner hits that riff, it's like Zep jamming with the Contortions.

62 "The Last Fight"
Velvet Revolver
Slash's warm, bluesy doodles carve heartache into a moody power ballad that simultaneously laments a drug overdose and the war in Iraq.

63 "Buy U a Drank"
T-Pain
Best pickup line of the year: "Let's get drunk and forget what we did." T-Pain overdubs his trademark filtered vocals into a strip-club chorale, while Yung Joc seals the deal: "When I whisper in your ear/Your legs hit the chandelier."

64 "The Magic Position"
Patrick Wolf
A three-minute spin on a sexual merry-go-round, led by Wolf, whose scarlet mop, six-foot-plus frame and choirboy vocals made him the thinking girl's rock-chick crush of the year. He piles up guitars, a toy piano and a giddy string section into an over-the-top make-out anthem.
