Remember - Jables and Kyle did not play the greatest song in the world, it was just a tribute.

12. There IS a link but I can't find it at the moment...

I first heard it in Kerry's major Iraq policy speech last Monday. I thought it was a very crystallized thought, suitable for meme-ing.

4. "Tribute"

And we played the first thing that came to our heads. IT JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE!

5. No no NO!!!

They didn't play "Tribute", they played the greatest song in the world. ("This is not the greatest song in the world, this is just a tribute")

So what was it?

14. Ask the experts

Matthew Fisher was the organist in Procol Harum, and wrote the organ line in "Whiter Shade of Pale" (often inaccurately credited to Bach).

Here's what he says on his web page regarding The Greatest Single Ever Recorded:

"Some say A Whiter Shade of Pale, others say Stairway to Heaven. Both answers are wrong. The correct answer is, of course, Good Golly Miss Molly by Little Richard."
