      It's posted in the thread. Still some tweaks to be made. How did we forget about Jack & Diane?
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Heat of the Moment
        Jesse’s Girl
        Simply Irresistible
        Under Pressure
        Centerfold
        Twilight Zone
        Why Can’t This Be Love?
        Hungry Like the Wolf
        Something About You
        I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)
        Modern Love
        Life in a Northern Town
        Magic (The Cars)
        The Way it Is
        Dancing in the Dark
        Pride
        Power of Love already in.
        Under Pressure can replace Another One Bites the Dust because I only chose one song per artist. I went with Rio over Hungry Like the Wolf. Jessie's Girl should be included, it can replace Tarzan Boy.

                          I finally found a good tool for this -- Google Forms. Let's try it out with the 1 vs. 16 seeds, then if all goes well, I'll fill out the rest. Vote for one per battle.
