BOHW80 Elite 8: Pseudo Echo vs. Timbuk 3

[Werewolf]

See the third post in the main Diversions thread for links to download the songs.

Pseudo Echo
Funkytown
Steven Greenberg
From the album Love An Adventure
#6, 1987

A song this good can’t be a hit just once! Australia’s Pseudo Echo had its one hit with a more rock-oriented take on this late disco classic.

Timbuk 3
The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades
Pat MacDonald
From the album Greetings From Timbuk 3
#19, 1986

Husband and wife Pat and Barbara MacDonald reached #19 with this ironic track, with a lyrical content that’s now completely dated.

[Kool-Aid Man]

I've got a question. Are people voting for the one they think is a better song, or the one they think is a better representation of 80's music?

What's wrong with you people? SRSLY? I can't believe how this tournament has turned out. The better song keeps losing.

[Ultimate Anyone?]

And I think I'm the only one who really just doesn't like Funkytown....

[Triweasel]

naw we just hate the other one more

[Traina]

I like Funkytown, this version anyway.
