why doth thou hate me?

[fox | 1,664]

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,104]

I swear that each round keeps getting tougher.

[Hammerfestus | 3,817]

Cher v Macarena  was the toughest choice I think.  Both pretty annoying songs but of equal quality.  2s across the board.

run seagulls run!!!!

Believe, My Own Worst Enemy, Tarzan Boy, I Ran

[mbd39 | 2,017]

I've heard Tarzan Boy in too many mouthwash commercials to not vote for it.

[RH | 4,889]

1,2,2,1.  I never thought I'd see the day where I'd vote for Chere (especially Believe) as the best option in a list, but IMHO, I think the Macarana is probably the most loathsome song I've ever heard on the radio.  Cotton-Eye Joe is a close second.

 

[TDIRunner | 2,721]

I didn't plan to vote for Cher, but the Macarena was annoying to me even when it was new

If "She's So High" loses, it will be the first one that I'll be genuinely disappointed about.  

The third one was easy.

Isn't "Don't You" normally used to clear out the crowd at the end of a reception?  

[Kguillemette | 1,542]

2,2,1,2

I had to think about Macarena vs Cher for a moment. Macarena has some serious nostalgic value to me.

I guess both lol, I remember the 1990 version

[Splain | 2,560]

Tough matchups! The dance I learned as a kid called "the macarena" is similar, but not the same as the one in the video. Where did it come from? Also, that girl totally stole that clown's balloons! What a jerk!

Funny how Together Forever is 100% the exact same song as Never Gonna Give You Up. 100%.

[DoctorEncore | 3,690]

All were pretty easy for me except number four. I feel like you put two number one seeds against each other there. The 80s were just overloaded with awesome pop.

Macarena, Lit, Tarzan Boy, and Simple Minds.

[JamesRobot | 5,785]

I'll pick Flock of Seagulls for the bracket.

Same here.

[doner24 | 1,195]

That last one is brutal to pick. Iconic song from one of the most iconic films of the 80’s versus a classic 80’s style jam that instantly makes me think of GTA Vice City. 

[Reed Rothchild | 9,504]

Two ties.  Someone better break 'em or else I'll have to coin toss it.

There could be an entire tournament of songs from 80s movies alone.

Cher deserves the tiebreaker.  Irregardless of what T Pain says, Cher invented autotune and unleashed it on the world with Believe.  You're welcome.
