Except that vocal effect wasn't done with a vocoder....

That's a great track, but Candyman is utterly brillant.
For my money "Biology" is the best pop tune of the last 10 years

i've just watched it again and its clearly the best dancing, best lyrics and best best best lyrics

yep, "candyman" is excellent, one of my choices. and "biology" is my overall number 1 choice (pretty much any GA track gets into my list to be honest, but "biolgy" is the best of a very good bunch)
i'd also go for kylie - "can't get you out of my head" (although if we could choose from the last 15 years or so i'd go "confide in me" from her, as that is, IMO, her best song ever)

Oh shit. I should know that. was it done with some autotune technique or something? I remember a producer telling me how it was done and I forgot.
I remember having been out of the country for the month when it was huge and I was in a taxi one night going between parties and the driver had it on the radio and I was loving it and everyone else in the cab hated it cos they'd heard it a zillion times. Great tune tho.

Yep, you set autotune to overcorrect, too quickly, and you get that vocoder-esqe warbling

OTM. It could be viewed as insulting to narrow their catalogue down to just one song.
Basement Jaxx feat JC Chasez - "Plug It In"
N*Sync - "Pop"
Justin Timberlake - "Cry Me A River"
Electric Six - "Danger (High Voltage)" and "Gay Bar"

Here for the football.
Was trying to remember the name of that tune for agges when i posted my pop songs.
Oh and im sorry but bohemian like you etc etc etc is never a proper pop song! Or hey ya or anyone that produces songs that can be considered anything other then pop. Surely!
When did 5ive come out??? If they are within the last 10 years keep on movin needs to be in there. Class song.

Yes. Exactly what I was just about to write. It's very well written and builds up nicely into what I think is the perfect pop song. The video is good too.
I'd also add a couple of Sugababes tracks in there 'Freak Like Me', & 'Stronger.'
Also getting my vote:
- Kylie "Red Blooded Woman"
- Missy Eliot "4 My People"
- Jenifer Lopez - "Jenny From The Blcok"
- Jamiroquai - "Deeper Underground"
Probably plenty of others really but I can't be arsed now.
Not quite the last 10 years, because I checked up on this as a possibility last night. 1997 I think it was released. Unbelievably good song though.
Annie, "Get UR Freak On" is possibly my favourite song ever, but I'm not I would class it as immediately pop. It sounds like hip hop after it's been fed to and digested by Squarepusher and Venetian Snares.
Richard X's whole "X Factor" should also get a mention, as almost any of those tracks could be great pop singles.
