Then, at lunchtime, the top ten songs with the most votes were played. Receiving the most votes &#8211; and beating Katy Perry and even Frozen&#8217;s Let it Go, was Geronimo by Sheppard! Everyone danced and sang along enthusiastically.<\/p>\n<p>Radio Lollipop Melbourne was touched by the generosity of all the students and staff at PLC.
