The song is Laid by James.

The top 5 companies:
Wal-Mart
GE
Exxon
Microsoft
Google

Probably not right since i don't have any foreigners. And I should have talked with Warren Buffet, but I figure I'm in the ballpark.

here is my guess...
exxon-mobil
phillips-conoco
walmart
bp
siemens
ibm
bank of america
csrb (credit suisse first boston)
morgan stanley
wells fargo

i think that is 10; hopefully i got some of them.

alright, i had to look up the title on amazon.com, but i knew that it was on the "american wedding" soundtrack and i had it in my itunes...so without further ado, the song is "laid"

It's Friday. Good Friday. It's almost 12:30. I finished all my work for the day about 2 hours ago. I have to be here until 5, though. This has nothing to do with the trivia. I don't have any idea who the big companies are. I did know the song was by James, but I never would have come up with Laid. I think after work today I may go buy a new bike helmet. My old one doesn't fit right and I left it by the radiator and it's a little melted/warped. I'm thinking about getting one of those skate type helmets because I like the way the look better than traditional bike helmets. I wonder what the difference is. Someone told me that they are really hot. I don't mind a good head sweat. I do, however, mind not being able to hear. I think some of them may cover up your ears. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. I have to be able to hear what's going on around me. I also mind my skull crcking open. Well, I'm off to lunch. Maybe I'll stop by the local bike shop.

Dear stupid dog, I've gone to live with the children on jolly farm. Good bye forever.

P.S. I never got a chance to return that sweater Lois gave me for Christmas. Umm, I left the receipt on top of my bureau. I'm probably over the thirty day return limit but umm… I'm sure if you make a fuss they'll at least give you a store credit or something. Umm.. It's actually not a horrible sweater. It's... It's just I can't imagine when I would ever wear it you know? Oh I also left a button on the bureau. I'm not sure what it goes to, but I can never bring myself to throw a button away. I know that as soon as I do I'll find the garment it goes to and then it'll… Wait a minute, could it be from the sweater? Did that sweater have buttons? Hmm… Well I should wrap this up before I start to ramble. Again, goodbye forever.

P.P.S. You know, it might be a little chilly in London, I'm actually going to take the sweater.
