Song of the Day: "Sway" by Bic Runga

Who remembers this adorable one-hit wonder? Wikipedia tells me Bic Runga, who climbed charts in 1999 with her indie-pop hit "Sway," is a highly-awarded singer/songwriter from New Zealand  This, my song of the day, made it onto the "American Pie" soundtrack. 

It was the era, long about 2000 to 2010, where many movies--even some forgettable ones--had lots of hits randomly pressed into them. There are also a couple winners on the soundtrack of "Loser," a 2000 rom com meant to serve as a vehicle for newly-hot "American Pie" actors Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari. These include the dance-floor earworm "Blue" by Euro-pop group Eiffel 65 as well as Wheatus' endearing "Teenage Dirtbag."
