Darn, Just read over the thread, and Bette Davis Eyes, lost. So close. Nice unexpected run though. Losing to Queen was a worthy loss.
Vote: We didn't start the fire. Such a great, great song.

Billy Joel advances, 5-2!
And we enter the FINAL FOUR! These next two matches will be FIRST TO SEVEN. These are the cream of the crop of the over 1,000 songs that have been #1 in the Billboard Hot 100!
Fun matchup, as these two tied for victory in the 1980 qualifier poll, so we'll see who actually wins.
Round 5, Match 1
9. Queen - Another One Bites the Dust #1 for 3 weeks - October 4 - 25, 1980 Previous Opponents: Dock of the Bay, Maggie May (7-4-1); Eye of the Tiger (4-0); Dont You Forget About Me (5-4); Bette Davis Eyes (5-3)
VS
8. Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Part II) #1 for 4 weeks - March 22 - April 19, 1980 Previous Opponents: I'll Be There, Silly Love Songs (4-2-0); Stayin' Alive (4-2); The Lion Sleeps Tonight (6-3); Bennie and the Jets (5-4)
First to SEVEN wins My vote goes to Queen

pink floyd, but if the song by queen was "boheimian rhapsody" the vote would be for queen.
