Text Speak for London

As Labor Day has come and gone, it's safe to say that the good times are over. Summer has ended, and the only thing left to do to ring in the autumn months is to name "The Feel Good Song of the Summer." The rules are simple.

1. The song should make you feel good.
2. It should probably have been released on the radio sometime during the past summer.
   
3. Random bubblegum pop songs from random artists generally beat out songs from mainstream performers.

The 2006 recipient of this award will join the prestigious ranks of the following songs.

• 2003 - "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior
• 2004 - [no award given]
• 2005 - "Haven't Found" by Pras

As decided by me, "The 2006 Feel Good Song of the Summer" is none other than "LDN" by Lily Allen. Sadly, this song is an import from across the pond [i.e., the UK], so many of you have probably not heard it played. Thus, this year I will also present the stateside award to Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man."

Ms. Allen and Ms. Aguilera, as this is a live program, you will be required to limit your acceptance speeches to two minutes.
