And Devel says this:
SELECT nc.nid, n.title, nc.daycount AS views, nc.totalcount, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments c WHERE c.timestamp >= 1270699200 AND c.nid=nc.nid) AS comments_today, cs.comment_count FROM node_counter nc INNER JOIN node n ON n.nid=nc.nid LEFT JOIN node_comment_statistics cs ON cs.nid=nc.nid WHERE nc.daycount > 0 ORDER BY nc.daycount DESC LIMIT 0, 20
 
And pasting that into PhpMyAdmin gives me the results I would expect.

Can you post your Drupal query? Hard to troubleshoot w/o the original code.

I have the following query, which works fine in PhpMyAdmin, but Drupal upchucks on it. Why?
 
SELECT nc.nid, n.title, n.created, nc.daycount AS views_today, nc.totalcount AS total_views,

Yes, in Drupal, I do put the brackets around the table names.
 
The error message says there's a problem at " AS comments_today, cs.comment_count FROM...".
