Black or White (Michael Jackson) def. Body Movin’ (Beastie Boys w/ Fatboy Slim), 82-56. Ok, ya’ll hated Body Movin’. Well, don’t blame next time you’re slumped in your chair at work in need of a pick me up.
Straight to Hell (Clash) def. There There (Radiohead), 77-66. Not the most conventional Clash song, but I like its bare-bones simplicity.
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper) def. Crazy in Love (Beyonce), 90-85. Shilpa, who called this song’s original omission sacrilegious, is vindicated tonight.
Around the Dial (Kinks) def. Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood (Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah), 67-63. With Pavement en route to a loss tomorrow, it seems like indie rock will have the worst record of any genre in the play-in round.
Me Gustas Tu (Manu Chao) def. Candela (Buena Vista Social Club), 80-77. I’m sure most of you would have been fine with either song winning- two classy numbers.
