Frankie wins a close, back and forth match. ----------------------------------------------------------- Two more popular song that have made short work of their opponents so far. Tears for Fears - ShoutA lot of people think that 'Shout' is just another song about primal scream theory, continuing the themes of the first album. It is actually more concerned with political protest. It came out in 1984 when a lot of people were still worried about the aftermath of The Cold War and it was basically an encouragement to protest. —Roland Orzabal It concerns protest inasmuch as it encourages people not to do things without actually questioning them. People act without thinking because that's just the way things go in society. So it's a general song, about the way the public accepts any old grief which is thrown at them. —Curt Smith Vs. Men Without Hats - Safety DanceThe song (and its accompanying dance) has been referenced or featured in numerous movies and television shows, including Bio-Dome, Streethawk, Futurama, The Simpsons and Scrubs.

Shout wins another good match up. On we go. ------------------------------------------------------------ The King vs. The Prince. Michael Jackson - Billie JeanCritical reaction to the song was overwhelmingly positive. With the passage of time, the song has gained legendary status and is often featured on "best of" lists. "Billie Jean" was ranked #58 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (making it number four among songs of the 1980s). In 2005, Blender magazine declared that "Billie Jean" was the greatest song released after 1980. Vs. Prince - Purple RainThe song is a staple of Prince's live performances. He has played it on nearly every tour since 1984, except for a period after his name change when he avoided his older hits for a few years. At Super Bowl XLI's halftime show, in which he was the featured performer, "Purple Rain" was featured as the last song of his set and was, appropriately, played during a downpour at the stadium, which combined with the purple stage lighting created the song's signature image. Prince performed the song as the opening of a medley of his hits with Beyonce at the 2004 Grammys, and also at the 2006 Brits.

As much as I love Prince, I can't vote against MJ.

Home made descriptions this time. Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On EileenYou know the song! Vs. Phil Collins - In The Air TonightIt's not about him murdering a man or watching a man murder a man or watching a man drown.

In the Air Tonight. Phil has said that he wrote it about the breakup of his first marriage, but why let that get in the way of a good urban legend.
