    Best Songs of 2008: No. 14

    '5 Years Time,' Noah and the Whale

    The fun, fun, fun hit of the summer that would have been right at home on the 'Juno' soundtrack. Indeed, these Londoners present the kind of campy melody that made the Moldy Peaches anti-folk anti-heroes, although you probably wouldn't use "anti" to describe it. It's an exceedingly likable song by a likable band about likable things, with excellent use of the ukulele in its favor.

    Its by Noah & The Whale. It sounded good and it could be a good summer hit anytime.
