Undercover voting results

Hey there! We've got songs for Undercover 2011, with thanks to you, dear readers. We had tons of votes, and lots of hand-wringing about the additional songs—many of which were chosen based on write-in suggestions. For those that care: In the duets category, we were too in love with "Islands In The Stream" to let it go, so that's on there. "Mother" by Danzig was an inspired choice, sent in by several readers. And I'm taking all the credit/blame for "Tubthumping." Here's the full list, followed by the results of the voting! You voted that we should have no repeat performers, too, but I'm warning you now that we're going to violate that rule exactly once. Thanks for voting—the series will launch March 15.
