The global poll, conducted by the BBC, received votes from 155 countries and territories. About 7,000 songs were nominated. CRIES FOR FREEDOM Some songs were so embedded in independence movements that they've become timeless. Under the shadow of British rule, Irish nationalists carried out raids, killed prominent officials and sang Irish rebel songs. Thomas Osborne Davis, the founder of an Irish independence movement, wrote A Nation Once Again - the winner of the poll - in the 1840s. The famous Irish folk band The Wolfe Tones popularized the song in the 1960s. Bengali poet Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote Vande Mataram - which translates to "Mother, I bow to thee" - in 1876. The song became the rallying hymn for Indians fighting British colonial rule in the early 20th century. Although it's not the national anthem, the song is played at the close of each session of parliament. ON THE SILVER SCREEN Films use music to underscore emotion and move the plot in a certain direction. The power of soundtracks is clear. Three of the world's top ten songs come from movies. Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu is from the movie "Thalapathy," India's equivalent of "The Godfather." Thalapathy is Tamil for "commander." Poovum Nadakkuthu Pinchum Nadakkuthu is from "Mugungal," a film about the struggles of Tamils in Sri Lanka. Chaiyya Chaiyya is a Punjabi folk song performed in the Bollywood film "Dil Se." WHERE ARE THE BEATLES? Several University musicologists only recognized Cher's Believe and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. American bloggers seem to be confused by the list. "The world hasn't really grasped our good stuff yet, and maybe never will," wrote one American blogger. Artists who are popular in the U.S. who garnered votes but didn't make the list include the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Scorpions, Abba and Ace of Base. The Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" received two votes and "White Christmas" received eight. LEAH GRABOSKI The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com 413 E.
