With that being said, the voting has concluded and the crown has been decided. The 2013 song of the year is none other than Danny Imig's folk classic "I think I'm married to a Zombie" from August.
Congratulations Danny! As with last year's winner, you get A REAL PRIZE! The prize is a 6-pack of some of my homebrewed beer. Danny and I are planning on meeting up next week to get him his prize. Photos to follow!
