Song In My Head

TV on the Radio's 2006 song "I Was a Lover". I always thought it was one of the strongest first tracks of any album of the past decade -- with that cool beat sampled from Massive Attack's "Teardrop" and then chopped up, twisted and layered with those other-worldly horns until it's nearly unrecognizable. "Teardrop" is a lovely little song -- used as the theme on "House" -- and featuring vocals by the Cocteau Twins Elizabeth Fraser (who was selected to record vocals over runner-up choice Madonna.)
