The "Greatest One Hit Wonder" Tournament

[Pauly]

Molly Hatchet is great and Flirtin' With Disaster is greater.

Flirtin with Disaster sounds like a muppet is singing it.

??????? Spirit in the Sky is weak sauce.

But whining about the music preferences of 18 people on a fantasy baseball message board isn't?

I guess we cant have a discussion without resorting to the old "whining" retort. Lighten up man.

Lighten up? You're the one telling people they suck dude, look in the mirror!

#2 Jump Around 13, vs #15 Escape (The Pina Colada Song) 5

I would vote for pretty much anything over Escape, and did.

#3 St Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) 12, vs #14 Tubthumping 6

This was disappointing. St. Elmo's is '80s cheese and John Parr is a hack. Tubthumping is a legitimately good song and Chumbawumba has an interesting backstory.

#3 The Promise 9, vs #14 Walk Away Renee 9

I would have left this ballot blank if I could have.

#4 Get Together 10, vs #13 Cruel to be Kind 9
#4 96 Tears 9, vs #13 I'd Love to Change the World 9
#5 Mississippi Queen 13, vs #12 Magic 5
#6 Cannonball 6, vs #11 In a Big Country 12
#6 Spirit in the Sky 12, vs #11 Jackie Blue 6
#8 Kung Fu Fighting 10, vs #9 Drift Away 8

These were incredibly tough choices. I voted for the loser in each case.

#4 Breakfast at Tiffany's 7, vs #13 Walking in Memphis 11

Breakfast at Tiffany's is hot garbage, so this was an easy upset.

Rappers Delight not winning vs. a Molly Hatchet song is pretty disappointing guys.

tragic - I don't believe this - Molly Hatchet is easily one of the worst picks in the list

I demand a recount - it just can't be

The electorate is almost entirely white male sports fans in their 40s and 50s. What were you expecting exactly?

[DMT]

For the record, "Spirit In the Sky" was one of the handful of higher seeds I did not vote for.

[DMT]

#4 Get Together 10, vs #13 Cruel to be Kind 9
#4 96 Tears 9, vs #13 I'd Love to Change the World 9
#5 Mississippi Queen 13, vs #12 Magic 5
#6 Cannonball 6, vs #11 In a Big Country 12
#6 Spirit in the Sky 12, vs #11 Jackie Blue 6
#8 Kung Fu Fighting 10, vs #9 Drift Away 8

These were incredibly tough choices. I voted for the loser in each case.

I only voted for two of the winners from this group (Get Together & Mississippi Queen).

And next round matchups are going to be even tougher IMO.

Congrats!!

the only worse song than Molly Hatchet's "Kermit sings rockabilly" is the god forsaken Safety Dance.

[DMT]

the only worse song than Molly Hatchet's "Kermit sings rockabilly" is the god forsaken Safety Dance.

I disagree

[Gregg]

I disagree

I agree with you.

Again, I must lobby for "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)".
