Given that this is the last bracket section in round 1, and Thanksgiving only days away...my plan is to wrap up voting for remaining round 1 sections, and start round 2 on Monday (12/2)

A few tough choices for me this pod.

A little surprised that Madness got a 203 seed and I love The Fly's, but they got a really touch draw.

I have a confession to make, songs parodied by Weird Al get extra points from me.

Mozart v. Beethoven? Out of 200+ songs that’s a pairing? The draw’s a fix I tell ya!!!

Saw Timbuk 3 and ticked it without reading the second song... Our House... Untick, think a little while - that’s a tough draw!

Dola, just realised this is a OHW competition. Madness are obviously seen very differently in the US: clipped from the Wikipedia opening statement:

Both Madness and UB40 spent 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade, holding the record for most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts. However, Madness did so during a shorter time period (1980–1986).[3][4][5]

Madness have had 15 singles reach the UK top ten

This was similar to my reaction as well. Few songs probably could have beat out Timbuk 3, particularly this early, but Our House is one of those songs.

Thoughts:

Modern English vs Dishwalla - unfortunate match up for Dishwalla...

Reunion vs The Honeycombs - Despite its similarity to the loathed "We Didn't Start the Fire" Reunion wins...in what was one the lowest voted pair of the entire first round...

Timbuk 3 vs Madness - brutal first round match up - Madness' blow out win is definitely worth watching...

Musical Youth vs Ocean - no doubter

Van McCoy vs The Flys - huh...the disco line dance beats a decent rock song...actually the strange thing is - based on previous results - I expected this...maybe didn't expect the voting to be so lopsided, but I did expect "The Hustle" to win.

Wilson vs VooDoo - not a lot of love for VooDoo, but enough for this round. Next round will be interesting after Hustles strong round 1.

Falco vs Murphy - super easy to predict, especially after the Falco support on the original thread and earlier during the after the fire version of Der Kommissar.

Gerardo vs Phantom Planet - Easy to predict, and I don't like Rico's chance in the next round.
