Mr. Ono-Lennon wins by the largest margin in the BNIT so far.
Bracket F
13. THE LA’S, “THERE SHE GOES” (48 / 8)
36. Sly and the Family Stone, “Thank You (Falettime Be Mice Elf Again)” (40 / 3)
37. The B-52’s, “Rock Lobster” (39 / 4)
12. Afrika Bambaataa, “Planet Rock” (23 / 0)
And a second song out of Liverpool wins this week.
Bracket G
47. JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS, “I LOVE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL” (42 / 5)
26. Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin, “Je T’Aime Moi Non Plus” (38 / 5)
23. TLC, “Waterfalls” (31 / 2)
2. TLC, “No Scrubs” (29 / 2)
Seems appropriate somehow that the order of finish in this bracket is the REVERSE of the AM rankings. The inestimable Ms. Jett takes this Bizarro bracket to become one of our final 12.
BRACKET H
7. TALKING HEADS, “PSYCHO KILLER” (53 / 11)
31. Nirvana, “Heart-Shaped Box” (37 / 0)
18. LCD Soundsystem, “Losing My Edge” (30 / 1)
42. Don Henley, “The Boys of Summer” (30 / 3)
Byrne, baby, Byrne. “Psycho Killer” moves on…without actually looking this up, I doubt we’ve ever had a song on which opinion was divided as much as on “The Boys of Summer.”
The only voter to pick all four winners was marc.
This time next week, we’ll be done with the first round, and voting songs into the BNIT Final Four!
