Ditto Ray. At this stage "Kiss Me" will be my #1. I didn't know Sixpence Non The Richer were Canadian.

I thought we'd see if a few more voted first Kenne. I'm keeping count of edna's votes and I'll start on Ray's too. I'll go and make a nuisance of myself and PT a few people who haven't voted yet. I'm sure they would hate to miss the opportunity of doing so.
