#10. Baby Fratelli
by The Fratellis


This Glasgow band has no new tricks in its bag. They steal shtick from the Ramones — the members all go by the adopted last name Fratelli — and riffs and louche-ness from T-Rex, which explains how they produced this unapologetically glammed up, eight ball of a rock song. It's about a skanky girl, but really it's a high-energy ode to the thrill of stupidity, thus its prominent place on the Hot Fuzz soundtrack.
