Head Over Heels defeats Private Eyes! (51% - 48%)

The Contenders:

"Private Eyes" - Hall and Oates


vs.

"Head Over Heels" - Tears for Fears


The Story:

First off, click here if you want the original "Heads over Heels" video.

Now, to the battle. Tons of classics to choose from in this match-up. For Hall and Oates, there's "Maneater," "I Can't Go For That," and perhaps best of all, "Rich Girl."

On the Tears for Fears side, you have "Shout," "Mad World," and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Pretty epic '80s match-up, you have to say.

As for this particular battle, I'll let the videos speak for themselves this week. Vote by song, vote by group, vote by hairstyle, whatever--just vote!

VOTE ON THE RIGHT!

In Your Eyes defeats In The Air Tonight and That's All! (65% - 35% - 0%)

It's a Thursday Three-Way! Also, let's try embedding videos instead of doing links.

The Contenders:

That's All - Genesis


vs.

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel


vs.

In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins



The Story:

Had trouble finding good videos today. "In Your Eyes" is there, and "In The Air Tonight" might not be what you expected but I think it's good enough. The "That's All" so-called "video" is boring, but I think the real one wouldn't have been much better. According to Wikipedia:

The ["That's All"] video depicts the band as homeless men playing cards and keeping warm at an open fire. It was the first time Genesis used director Jim Yukich for one of their promos.


If you're having trouble picking a song, I would ask you this: who would win in a fight between that gorilla, some poker-playing homeless dudes, and John Cusack holding a boom box?

Gotta be Johnnie C, right? Plus he's a Cubs fan.
