#XPNCountdown songs I had to exclude from consideration to make it easier on myself:
- Songs from animated Disney movies. Too many, all good, sorry.
- Songs I like but have not seen in their famous movies. "Jump into the Fire" is one of my favorite songs of all time, but I've never seen Goodfellas.

I need to turn in my ballot (both for real election and the #xpncountdown) I have not given it enough thought aaahhh
Once again, we're gearing up for our annual #XPNCountdown here at @WXPN - we want your votes for what you think are the greatest songs from movies & tv. Here's my list, which would likely be different if I submitted a new one tomorrow. Vote here: xpn.org/885-countdown/

I didn’t get to submit one for #Padre because he was all batty with the UTI, but I hope I can still get a list out of him so we can keep score.

My top 3 songs for this #xpncountdown are from #DoctorWho and another is from Sing Street, a 2016 John Carney movie that should be much more adored than it is, so I have very little hope for any more than 2 of my submissions to even make the countdown.

For this year's #XPNCountdown I thought it would be fun to present my top ten picks in video form. It's one thing to read a list, but it is another to actually see how the songs were used. Spoiler, the full list is also written in the description if you don't have time to watch

Some #XPNCountdown honorable mentions/songs I thought of but didn't include/songs I just forgot about:
- The entire O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Imagine cutting up the Mona Lisa and trying to rank each piece. That's what you'd be asking me to do.
- "Space Jam" in Space Jam. Self-evident.
