Trick question: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kfVsfOSbJY0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> But seriously, this list is pretty terrible.
Isn't it a bit early? Oh well, I'm sure whatever the song of the millennium was in 1013 AD probably held up through 1999. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FbK-7QPjRVI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The songs I like only get airplay on the BBC One at 3 am so obviously this isn't aimed at me. But Yeah jumped to mind as soon as I read the thread title. Immortalized with a classic Chapelle sketch to boot. You'd hear the song anywhere you went, plus you'd hear people say it non-stop for laughs for a few months. If I voted I'd have go for Idioteque. It's a great song, it's Radiohead, and it's the most 'drum & bass' song on the list.
Blurred Lines and Call me Maybe are seriously considered as some of the best songs of last two years? What a travesty.
We are Rocket fans. There is only ONE acceptable answer.

I really disagree with that list. For the song that encapsulate the time since Y2K, you may hate them, but it's gotta be Coldplay's single from 2005, Clocks. I think the runner-ups should be MIA's "Paper Planes" and Postal Service's "Such Great Heights". These two also have such distinctive sound; nothing like any songs from the past decades.
