1 2 1 2

3 was extremely difficult for me.  

[JamesRobot | 5,785]

1222.  Aha still takes it .

[mbd39 | 2,017]

A Ha, the Divinyls, Dexy's Midnight Runners, the Weeknd

[Hammerfestus | 3,819]

1122.  That last pair were both terrible so  it was a coin toss.

I wouldn't be surprised if Take on Me wins this whole thing. I'd probably be more shocked if it doesn't.

[RH | 4,889]

1,2,1,1.  Choice #3 was the hardest.  I like both tunes equally so I had to go with my current mood.

Same for me.  I went with 1 because I think it's probably the better song, but I have memories with 2 because my coach in college was named Eileen and we serenaded her with that song one time completely randomly in the middle of practice.

Spoiler alert.  I think I know who's going to win this entire competition.

Spoiler alert, we'll get down to a final four, and they'll face off with next year's final four.

But you may still be right.

I also have an Eileen story: 

Years ago I worked with a girl named Eileen.  When she first introduced herself she joked , “Eileen over and suck your 

Spoiler

“.  That’s it.  All I remember about her.  And I think about it every time I encounter that song.

Yeah, that song is just curb stomping the competition. But I think it's pretty worthy.

 

Come On Eileen is, I dunno, something about the song kind of puts me off. But that's just me. Might be the lead singer's voice.

Our pub trivia name has been 'I Came on Eileen' for a decade.

Yes, we are rather juvenile 

People seem to request the song quite a bit in our wake too

Bump for one tight race this time

[PII | 1,883]

I'm the black fly in Aha's Chardonnay. 

[Tulpa | 3,488]

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

[Jeevan | 8,909]

Have fun with #4 @Reed Rothchild

Aha vs the New Radicals? How dare you make me choose! Gotta go with You Get What You Give though. Something about that song and the entire NR album reminds me of a very distinct time in my life.

[PII | 1,883]

¡NEW RADICALS UNITE!      IT'S OURS BY RIGHT!!      WE'VE ALREADY WON!!!     LONG LIVE THE RESISTANCE!!!!!

King of Wishful Thinking is probably the best pop song ever written... a perfect bridge from the 80s to the 90s. A shame it's gonna get knocked out this round.

It's a good song but I've heard it and most of these other pop songs a million times every time I'm at work in retail stores or even out shopping, it's the same playlist in every store on Muzak. Sometimes they even cycle through the same set of songs twice or even three times a shift for me. So they're not bad but I would be okay with never hearing them again.
