#1 Under the Bridge (Red Hot Chili Peppers) def. #16 Don’t Be Cruel (Elvis Presley),  124-81.

#9 Paint It Black (Rolling Stones) def. #8 Papa’s Gotta Brand New Bag (James Brown), 122-100 . To me, Paint It Black was the song that really announced the Stones were going to compete with Beatles as genre-busting innovators.   James Brown becomes the 186th artist eliminated from the tournament.

#4 You Shook Me All Night Long (AC/DC) def. #13 Bad (U2), 126-107.  Did you know that we advanced eight U2 songs to the Round of 256- only the Beatles and Paul Simon had more.  Alas, buyer’s remorse seems to be kicking in, as the band is only 2-4 this round with two songs remaining.   You Shook Me All Night Long has to be talked about as a contender.

#12 Zombie (Cranberries) def. #5 Bullet With Butterfly Wings (Smashing Pumpkins), 110-102 . Catholic Nick gets his long-standing wish of having Billy Corgan eliminated from the tournament (artist #187).   He says its the voice, but I think something personal went down between them, as evidenced by Nick’s 9.9-1 roundhouse kick.  The guy knows Brazilian martial arts or something.
