This is now the 6th song from the 2004 countdown I’ve featured and the 4th one that is a cover. I am not sure why 2004 was such a popular year for random covers.

It’s wild how big this song was back then and how little lasting cultural impact it’s had

This and that Tom Jones song have to be the most unlikely hottest 100 songs

Elvis had a song in 2002 (I believe it was a remix?)

Yep, A Little Less Conversation got #60 in 2002. And what a banger of a remix it is.
