999,790: Hanson - Give A Little

It's a very sad time in America for rock n' roll. The only rock song to chart on the Billboard 100 in 2010 was Train's "Soul Sister," which just barely qualifies as being a rock song. If anybody should be able to bring rock back into the mainstream, it's HANSON, right?! I mean, can you really feel threatened by them in any way, my fellow Americans? They have soft skin, pretty faces (except for Isaac), and have buttery smooth vocals. In the video for "Give a Little" (the hooky-iest pop rock jam I've heard in a long while) Taylor Hanson literally drapes himself in an American flag for no particular reason other than to remind you that we United States-ians can still make pop records that don't need to be outsourced to Sweden.

More importantly, the song leads with a guitar riff. Remember America? We like guitar! Oh, but if that guitar sound is too wild for you, the heavy horn section should keep you happy. Or not. This song is currently #98 on itunes. You GUYS! come ON. Can we just take a break from buying Black Eyed Peas and Bruno Mars songs for like a day? Give a little heart and soul. Let your body lose control.

More importantly, this song reminds me of something fictional band The Wonders would write.
