The Top 500 Songs Of 2011 - Part 36 of 50, #150-#141

#150 Gotye - "I Feel Better" from "Making Mirrors" - It's very difficult to believe that this is the same singer who recorded "Somebody That I Used To Know", but it's from the same album. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRC--2qC_Qs

#149 Florence And The Machine - "Only If For A Night" from "Ceremonials" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkJK2KVFsi0

#148 The Decemberists - "Rox In The Box" from "The King Is Dead" - Remarkably, this is not named after a Dr. Seuss book. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Waz7PMZHeg

#147 Awolnation - "Not Your Fault" from "Megalithic Symphony" - How unlikely was it that any songs by Awolnation made my countdown?  Along with "Making Mirrors" by Gotye, this was the last album I added to my review list in 2011 and the only reason either came up was because I noticed "Sail" (or "Somebody That I Used To Know" in that case) on the Modern Rock Charts and looked up when the album came out. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm9-yVdxbSs

#146 Austra - "Lose It" from "Feel It Break" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LJtMrhb558

#145 Common - "Ghetto Dreams" from "The Dreamer, The Believer" - Featuring Nas - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiudw2Rg2v4

#144 Bright Eyes - "Triple Spiral" from "The People's Key" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2AHlMLji3k

#143 Jane's Addiction - "Irresistable Force" from "The Great Escape Artist" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVOi5Hdbd7Q

#142 LMFAO - "I'm Sexy And I Know It" from "Sorry For Party Rocking" - Just because you've heard it so often that you're sick of it, doesn't mean it's not a good song. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GdyTnd-xtQ

#141 Weird Al Yankovic - "Perform This Way" from "Alpocalypse" - A parody of "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga.  Lady Gaga supposedly didn't approve of this song, which is a rarity of Yankovic's work. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss_BmTGv43M
