2009 Top 10 Countdown, #10: “I Feel Weird” by Steel Train

Every year, I reset the play count in iTunes so that I can track what I listen to the most that year. Over the next 10 days, I’ll hopefully be able to put up a video or an MP3 or something of the top 10 songs that I listened to in 2009.

At number 10, it was “I Feel Weird” by Steel Train.
