Africa wins. Cornfed thinks it's an upset, but as soon as it got to three I knew it would win because of him. I'm surprised he didn't tell us it's a haunting tune, again.

You're out of control Cornfed! OUT OF CONTROL!
By the way, I'll get the next round tabulated and we'll start it up tommorow.

Okay, This is the beginning of Round 6! We are down to 8 songs vying to become number one! Now that we have gotten to the cream of the crop, the votes will go up. The winner will be the first to 5 votes for this round. First we'll start with Tears for Fears vs. one of MJ's two songs remaining! Tears for Fears - Shout"Shout" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley of the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's eighth single release (the second taken from their second LP Songs from the Big Chair) and sixth UK Top 40 hit, peaking at #4 in January 1985. In the USA, it reached #1 on August 3, 1985 and remained there for three weeks. A smash hit, "Shout" would become one of the most successful pop songs of 1985, eventually reaching the Top Ten in 25 countries. In the UK, Shout was released in a variety of formats including 7", 12", and even a 10" single - a format quite uncommon at that time. A special 7" boxed pack with a Tears for Fears 1985 calendar was also released. Vs. Michael Jackson - ThrillerMichael and his date (Ola Ray) run out of gas in a dark, wooded area. They walk off into the forest, and Michael asks her if she would like to go steady. She accepts and he gives her a ring. He warns her, however, that he is "not like other guys". A full moon appears, and Michael begins convulsing - transforming into a horrifying werewolf. His date shrieks and runs away, but the werewolf catches up, knocking her down and begins lunging at her with its claws. The scene cuts away to a movie theater (the Palace Theatre in Hollywood) where Michael and his date - along with a repulsed audience - are actually watching this scene unfold in a movie called Thriller (by Vincent Price). Michael smiles but his date is frightened, and tells him she's leaving. Michael catches up to her, exclaiming "It's only a movie!" Some debate follows over whether or not she was scared by the scene; she denies it, but Michael disagrees. Michael and his date then walk down a foggy street, and he teases her with the opening verses of "Thriller". They pass a possessed graveyard, where corpses suddenly begin to rise from their graves, as Vincent Price recites a verse. Michael and his date then find themselves surrounded by the zombies, and suddenly, Michael becomes a zombie himself. Michael and the undead perform an elaborate song and dance number together, frightening his girlfriend to the point where she runs for cover. The girl is chased into an abandoned house, where the zombies and Michael slowly approach her. Right before they reach her, she wakes up and realizes that it was all a dream. As Michael asks "What's the problem?", he offers to take her home, but as the video ends Michael glances back at the camera, grins, and reveals his monster yellow eyes (accompanied by Vincent Price offering one last haunting laugh). After the credits, when they concurrently show the zombies dancing again, the disclaimer humorously states, "Any similarity to actual events or persons living, dead, (or undead) is purely coincidental." Landis' An American Werewolf in London likewise offered this disclaimer.
