Your Favourite Song Of The Last Ten Years?

I have recently been asked to pick my favourite song of the last decade. How do you choose? It's not a top ten list, or of best albums, but one song. I listen to thousands of songs a year, to find only one is daunting. I've been going through some of my favourite albums, could it be something by Radiohead? Damon Albarn? Beck? MIA? Cursive? The Weakerthans? Arcade fire? Modest Mouse? Animal Collective? Bon Iver?

Do you pick something catchy and poppy? Or something topical? I guess if we're just talking songs then it doesn't have to be off a particularly good album.

Ten years is a lot songs over the airwaves. Suggestions?
