cut it out with the honorable mentions...you're stealing someone's potential thunder to post a top 5 better than yours. i mean, is this 'top-five' or is this 'top-five and then some'.

if you want, i propose you limit yourself to only naming the 'dishonorable mention list'. some that come to mind would be:

Eternal Flame, The Bangals
Hot, Hot, Hot, Buster Poindexter

Anyway, my top five:
5 - I don't know the name of the song or who sings it, but it goes..."Fire!...I'll take you to burn..."
4 - Rock of Ages, Def Leppard
3 - Disco Inferno, Sat Night Fever Sndtk
2 - Fire on the Mountain, The Grateful Dead
1 - Burning Down the House, Talking Heads

Valid point, Anonymous. And yet if people would actually contribute to these silly lists, I'd be more reserved in my honorable mentioning. So thanks for sharing.
