Battle of heavyweights here... but "I Ran" just defines 80s Pop for me. So they get my vote.

It was neck and neck, but the Flock ran a just a little quicker then the Bush. --------------------------------------- Here is a battle of the soundtracks. It may seem like an easy choice, but you could say it's.... Frank Stallone - Far From OverVs. Duran Duran - A View To A Kill"A View to a Kill" is the 13th single recorded by Duran Duran, released in May 1985. It was a stand-alone single, created for the James Bond movie A View to a Kill, and it remains the only James Bond theme song to have reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100; it also made it to #2 on the UK Singles Chart and #6 in Australia. In 1986, John Barry and Duran Duran were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for A View to a Kill. The song was the last track that the original five members of Duran Duran recorded together until their reunion sixteen years later, in 2001. It was played at their final 1985 performance together, at Live Aid in Philadelphia.

I picked a wrong time to shower. I wanted to vote b/w I Ran and The Touch. I'm not too into the next two songs.
I'll just say View to a Kill cuz I know Duran Duran rules.

2-1 in favor of Duran Duran. I was fully expecting a sweep on their part, but I do believe Insomniac nominated Frank, so it makes sense for him to vote that way.

Duran Duran takes a page from Bond and let's Frank know that, yes, it is Over. -------------------------------------------- Everybody get your overalls on! I have to admit, I never heard this Loverboy song before. So I allowed it in because I didn't know if it was Rock or not. Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen"Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners was the biggest-selling British single of 1982. The song was written by Kevin Rowland, "Big" Jim Paterson, and Billy Adams; it was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. It originally appeared on the album Too-Rye-Ay. The song has had lasting appeal and is often heard in retro clubs and 80's compilation CD's. Vs. Loverboy- Queen of the broken heartsQueen of the Broken Hearts was a song released on the Canadian rock band Loverboy's album titled Keep it Up in 1983. The band released as a single later that year, and it reached #34 on the charts. Despite being remembered as one of the band's better hits, the song was not included on the main two compilation albums released by the band; Loverboy Classics and Big Ones.

Dexy's Midnight Runner sweep their way into Round 2, though looking at them I don't know if they even know what sweeping is. --------------------------------------------- Up next we have one of the more quirky entries into the contest: Buckner and Garcia - Pac-Man FeverPac-Man Fever is a 1982 album recorded by Buckner & Garcia. It is also the name of the first song on that album. Each song on the album is about a different classic arcade game, and uses sound effects from that game. The album was released both as an LP and as an 8-track tape. Vs. Hall and Oates - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)"I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" is a 1981 song recorded by Daryl Hall and John Oates. It was the fourth number-one hit single of their career and the second hit single from their album Private Eyes. It features Charles DeChant on saxophone. On January 30, 1982, "I Can't Go for That" ended a ten-week run at the top by Olivia Newton-John with "Physical". Thanks to heavy airplay on urban-contemporary stations, "I Can't Go for That" also topped the U.S. R&B chart, a rare act for a non-African American act, as well as the Dance Club Play chart.

Since I nominated it and it will probably be the only vote it gets, I'll say Pac Man Fever.
