And that would, I hope, explain the one list that didn't rank this song.

To stretch Quik's analogy, it would be like if Ted Williams isn't on your list of top 10 baseball players because you could make a colorable argument that he does not qualify as a "baseball player."

And, you know, I can buy that. I may not agree, but if you say that a band that had multiple top 40 and top 10 hits in the UK is not a one hit wonder and should not be on your list, I can't say that's crazy.

What I cannot understand is the #62 ranking. If you think that this song meets your criteria, how can you think that 61 other songs were bigger one hit wonders than this? If this song qualifies, then it is top 5.
