I do like 'Meds and 'Feds' more than 'Treats'.
"I just give a damn, damn, damn"

3 - YALA - 8.85
Highest Score - 10 (hello_world, Jamie321, Jameson Teqkilla, Ultraviolence, Saint, -mUsIcLoVeR-, MotherSuperior, Ewan Chaos, Matangi, Giliap, Eeveelution, MP2K, Kid A, Mastamaind)
Lowest Score - 4 (BlueTimberwolf)
This song has the most 10s in the entire rate - 10 Dollar and Bamboo Banga have less.
I didn't realise how loved this was until this rate happened tbh  truly a great song. It's a very modern thing, and it manages to both be appealing to a wide audience and as satirical as ever because of how smart she was to do this for the subject matter. It allows her to both do commentary on something that is kinda relevant to do, whilst riding the coattails of it as well. When will your faves

20 Dollar is so overrated. Yes at YALA making it this far. 
The superior dollar for the win!

Oh man things are going sooo slow. I'm sad to see Meds and Yala go, I would've liked them top 2.
I think I gave the remaining two the same score, but go Arular!

So, this is it. After 49 eliminations, we are left with Bamboo Banga and 10 Dollar. The winner received 12 10s, and the loser received 13. Poor dat 
So, without further ado...
 In 2nd Place Is...2 - Bamboo Banga - 8.91666666666667
Highest Score - 10 (Jamie321, Jameson Teqkilla, pinktennisfreak, Ultraviolence, -mUsIcLoVeR-, Stantasea, MotherSuperior, Matangi, Giliap, Austin, keshaspearsxo, Blueberry Mary, KLatz)
Lowest Score - 5 (hello_world)
How the hell did this song nearly win for a while I had miscalculated and thought that this song had just about pulled it out of the bag. I had a whole essay typed up! 
This song is not that great. The only part I really like is the 'strike match, light fire, who's that girl called Maya line, and even that isn't that great it just drags on and on and on and on. Her vocals ain't great, the lyrics ain't great, it's just... not good. Poor you
MIA coming back with powa powa? I don't think so 
Which, of course, means that our winner is...
1 - 10 Dollar - 8.95
Highest Score - 10 (hello_world, Jameson Teqkilla, HonourableVomit, MotherSuperior, Matangi, Giliap, Eeveelution, BlueTimberwolf, Dr. Shenanigans, MP2K, Kid A, Blueberry Mary)
Lowest Score - 7 (Changes)
In a way I'm kinda happy because this was my favourite out of the Top 4, but did it really deserve to win? Nope. Come Walk With Me, 20 Dollar, XR2, It Takes A Muscle, Steppin Up, Warriors, Know It Ain't Right, Mango Pickle Down River >>>>>
It's a nice song though, that much can't be denied. It's one of the catchiest on Arular, has some of her iconic lines ('what can I get for 10 Dollar, anyfink you want'  ), has some of her more bareable vocals, but... idk. It doesn't seem as distinctive as some of her other songs. It isn't even the best '... Dollar' song, this ranking should've gone to something else.
I should've rigged this ****  congrats I guess

10 Dollar is definitely one of ha best songs and what I would consider the most "essential" in her (album track) discography so that's good Bamboo Banga though, way too high. .

Yassss M.I.A.'s best song!  This makes up for Arular flopping a bit.
