aydge89 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 So in Australia they do a Hottest 100 countdown every year as voted by listeners on the Triple J radio station. On their companion station Double J they play the Hottest 100 from 20 years ago, being 1998 this year. Some people weren't happy that Pretty Fly for a White Guy made it to number one, so they're doing a revote for all the songs that made it into the Hottest 100 and they're going to reveal the top 10 based on votes next week. Green day had 2 entries - The Grouch and Time of your Life, so you can vote for either. Surprisingly The Grouch made it higher than Time of your life. https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/events/featured/h100-1998/10716058
Hermione Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 That's a hilarious reason for doing a revote
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 The Grouch is definitely superior to Pretty Fly so I approve
Billie Hoe Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 There's too many choices Pretty Fly is just gonna win again
jengd Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I know of a recent referendum where the result is not too popular in the UK ……..😂
Montclare Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 My main memory of PFFAWG is when I heard a girl in high school use that phrase to describe some guy. I knew the song was over at that point.

Insomniac1984 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 WAIT?! The Grouch.... was a single in Australia???

I don't think the songs had to be singles to be on the list. It is kind of a strange one to include...maybe their infamous performance of it over there was the reason
