Ming Tea features Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet.

Update on Matt: 'I Had the Stroke, and It Was All Over': Matthew Sweet's Road to Recovery

 

[HecticArt]

I was hoping that he’d be doing better, but at least there’s progress and he’s got some hope.

My singer had a mini-stroke. He didn’t even know it had happened for a day or two.
His left hand wouldn’t work well enough to play guitar for 2 or 3 weeks, but it got better.
Unfortunately, he took it as a sign from god and quit the band anyway. So if you know any rock singers in Toledo…..

My 2009 review of "Fireflies:
If you're not wearing sparkly makeup and putting unicorn stickers all over your Hannah Montana diary, and you like this song, it's time to face up to certain realities. You're about 2 years away from watching Twilight in a Snuggie® with another man.

6: I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas

 

[Channel98]

I Gotta Feeling should be I Got A Feeling or, better yet, I Have A Feeling. And now everyone is wondering how many other top-ten hits had "Gotta" in the title, right?

Gotta Be Somebody – Nickelback (10/2008)
Gotta Be This Or That – Benny Goodman (2/1945)
Gotta Be This Or That – Sammy Kaye/Nancy Norman (6/1945)
Gotta Be This Or That – Glen Gray/Fats Daniels (9/1945)
Gotta Get Some Shut-Eye – Kay Kyser/Harry Babbitt (6/1939)
Gotta Get Thru This – Daniel Bedingfield (10/2002)
Gotta Tell You – Samantha Mumba (4/2000)
Gotta Travel On – Billy Grammer/Anita Kerr Singers (4/1958)
I've Gotta Get A Message To You – Bee Gees (8/1968)
You Gotta Be – Des'ree (4/1995)
You Gotta Be A Football hero – Ben Bernie (10/1933)
You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party – Beastie Boys (7/1986)

Honorable mention: Sammy Davis Jr.'s I've Gotta Be Me from the Broadway musical Golden Rainbow It reached #11 in March 1969.

 

[sadchild]

Did this "Gotta" song make the top 10?

 

[HecticArt]

Volume 2?

Shouldn't that have been #1?

 

[scotchandcigar]

One point 3

18: Say Hey (I Love You) - Michael Franti & Spearhead Featuring Cherine Anderson
13: Empire State Of Mind - Jay-Z & Alicia Keys - only because there are variations on this that I like
10: Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon - meh
6: I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas - meh
