    Macerana because it a classic +gets everyone on the dance floor.

    Coco Jambo because it brings me right back to teenage years.

    Delighted there is finally some cheesy tunes!

    R 2 Match 9 - Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby. The Macarena has it's place but going for Vanilla Ice here because of his conviction in the quality of the song. Think he got a lot of stick from other 'artists' over the years but he is steadfast in his pride for this.

    R 2 Match 10 - Mr President - Coco Jamboo: I nominated this, so guess I got to represent. I don't dislike the Wheetus song but Coco Jamboo does take me back to July and August 1997 every time I hear it.

    Prefer this one to Star Trekkin which is meh at best.

    This is hard. I don't mind which goes through here tbh. But Don't Fear The Reaper is a quality track and gets my vote. First real tough one for me though.

    Owner Of A Lonely Heart - can't remember who they were up against in the last round, but I definitely overlooked this song in round 1. It's a solid tune.

    Don't Fear The Reaper - great song and a potential contender to win the whole tournament.

    R 2 Match 11 - The Firm - Star Trekkin'. Bit of a meh vote vote I do remember being fond of it as a child.

    R 2 Match 12 - Europe - The Final Countdown. Legendary song. If you're going to have a single hit, you could do worse than it being this one. When anyone would ask why you hadn't another, you could just tell them, 'You can't improve on epic'

    Two fairly tough matches here, don't mind too much who goes through.
    But my choices are:

    #11 - Star Trekkin', just 'cause it always raises a smile.

    #12 - The Final Countdown, for that iconic riff.

    Owner of a Lonely Heart just because Star Trekkin' is nonce central.

    The Final Countdown because it was played about 6 times in Dalymount's bars one night last month as Bohs qualified for Europe and we all got messy. Europe, get it?

    Match 11

    Star Trekkin', just because I hate the other song so much.

    Match 12

    Don't Fear the Reaper. Great tune instantly recognisable from the first note of the intro.

    Star Trekkin - it's different. Yes are good, but nothing unique

    The Final Countdown - really tough one, but this is more iconic

    Some people just want to watch the world burn. I love Star Trek, obviously, but that's a terrible terrible song and should not have even made it into round 2, and now it's advancing again?
