77 "Chelsea Dagger"
The Fratellis

No Saturday night of drinking, dancing and catching diseases would be complete without this hit at closing time. The Scottish sex gods drool over a girl and her sister, whichever one will dance with them first.

78 "The Songs That We Sing"
Charlotte Gainsbourg

Music by Air, lyrics by Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon, vocals by Serge Gainsbourg's daughter — who gets inside the head of a dead singer, wondering what her songs still mean to the living.

79 "Myriad Harbor"
New Pornographers

A hilarious psych-folk tale from Canadian madman Dan Bejar about going to New York, getting lost, having a bad time, meeting pretty girls in record stores and saying stupid things.

80 "Stop Me"
Mark Ronson

One of the year's left-field hits: Superproducer Ronson enlists Aussie R&B singer Daniel Merriweather to turn the 1987 Smiths hit into a bit of Manchester-via-Motown melancholy.
