FYI I was thinking “Rock” category - Seven Nation Army certainly has some competition once we open it up to all categories.

I'm not into rap or DMX. But I admit I do love this song. Anytime I'm feeling agitated, "Y'all Gonna Make Me Lose My Mind!"
Dirty Projectors were part of a really dark, fallow period in indie rock for me. The stuff that was hitting top 10 lists around those 2-3 years were all groups like Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Warpaint, Bat for Lashes…a mix of sun-genres but all very dreary and twee at the same time. I think it cemented my love for 90s alt-rock and less pretentious rock genres like pop-punk, punk, and power pop because I craved those more straight-ahead, melodic, upbeat artists after trying my hardest to enjoy what was peaking in those 2008-2011 years.

'Nuff said
In reality I would nominate some crap song by some crap boy band Bye bye bye.
“The guys we've had for the most part have been serviceable at this level.”
Coming from someone born in 1980, I feel like the 00's was the first decade of lost childhoods - taken over by nonstop reality tv, tech, and autotuned pop music....
so as a nod to the anti Britney/Aguilera/Simpson/Backstreet/etc... I nominate this one...

"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010

Ted Leo’s cover of Since U Been Gone/Maps would be my pick for pop song of the 2000s, if I were plastered and wanted to start something.
That's a good pick, if we're getting into pop I'd also put up "Umbrella" and "Since You Been Gone", which I think are two basically perfect pop songs.
2000-2008 is going to be a really fertile ground for pop culture study. Absolutely brutal period and music/entertainment all felt like some kind of fun house mirror.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
