Assign it a hotkey using your favorite method of assigning hotkeys to AppleScripts (I use Quicksilver), and you're all set! Best of all, this method leaves Play Count untouched.
[robg adds: This is a very handy AppleScript; I have been opening the iTunes window for songs I wish to skip, then dragging the play bar nearly to the end, which lets the song finish and then removes it from recently played. This is much simpler. I attached it to a hotkey using Butler.]
