Hate you mate.



Shut up, it was my nomination and even though I love ELO, it felt more appropriate for this tournament, just nominate loads of ELO in song tournament 3 and I will vote for them

And good to see you voting for Olivia Newton-John's Gay Gym If you didn't notice there is actually a combination of ONJ and ELO, as I nominated XANADU

Olivia Newton John's gay gym was a given A PLACE....WHERE NOBODY DARE TO GO....THE LOVE THAT WE CAME TO KNOW....THEY CALLED IT XANADU I know. And it is brilliant. I also like the "just" ELO version of it, but that's 00's technically (I think).

Still never forgiving you mind.

7. Another TOM PETTY song (A title would be nice)

8. MR. MISTER - Broken Wings (Blah, but I don't know the other one and can't trust this site not to crash before I get a chance to hear it)



On the outside looking in.
1. EURYTHMICS - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

2. BERLIN - Take My Breath Away

7. KATE BUSH - Jig of Life

8. JOHN LENNON - Watching the Wheels



On the outside looking in.

There's a good version of ROCK ME AMADEUS?!



Not accepting votes from brackets after I announce the winners from that bracket. I have to lock in the scores on a site I'm using that makes match-ups and if I go back and change anything, it f**ks up the game in progress -- which is why we had to redo the first bracket. You snooze, you lose.



1. TV Party - Black Flag

2. That Lying Bitch From Fleetwood Mac

3. HERE I GO AGAIN! - Whitesnake

4. But who cares when it's going up against MADNESS - OUR HOUSE (I probably wouldn't have voted for the other song, but it would've been nice to know which track I should've listened to)

5. Joe Jackson is STEPPIN' OUT

6. Paul Young wants you to COME BACK AND STAY!

7. OMG! Cutting Crew just DIED IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT!

8. Deniece Williams' Manic Enthusiasm FOR THE BOY!
