Thanks to all those who participated in the March Madness 1980s song survey play-in. The results have been tallied, and the brackets are now set for the head-to-head competition -- well, almost. I am using my discretion as tournament director to replace the last two slots -- #63 I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow and #64 Rockit by Herbie Hancock -- with two worthy write-in candidates from the poll: Tainted Love by Soft Cell and The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats. Good luck to these dark horses! So, here is the complete list, with tournament pre-ranking from #1 to 64. Play begins tomorrow as follows: I will announce the two competing songs in a status and put links to videos of the songs in the first two comments.
