The "would have been number ones" of years past

CAN YOU TELL I TOTALLY CAN'T BE ARSED TO FINISH THIS COUNTDOWN? Thought so.

Which is why I'm writing another filler post about what would have been my number one song of 2006. And it would've been this one ...

Because ohmygod, what a song it is. From the beginning "bam chicka bam chicka boom boom boom" you're hit with a complete monster (heh) of a song which has you in complete moshout mode from start to finish. Emily Haines has never sounded better (or in fact sexier) in this, shouting over the roaring guitar "I fought the war, I fought the war but the war won". This is just the absolute most kickass song in the world, and the video is probably the best of 2006 too with its reminiscience of 60s horror movies. Class. And way better than its MSTRKRFT remix.
