    less meh than the guy who sings about touching himself.
    Is it too much to ask that people actually listen to the song before voting?

    I'm going to vote for save tonight. There she goes just sounds very repetitive. If I had to listen to either on repeat, it would be save tonight plus the video is excellent.

    Baker Street because it's a great track and brings me right back from that first sweeping riff

    And Take my breath away because I hate it less than the other choice.

    Baker Street for the hardcore sax.

    Take My Breath Away for the emotion.

    Baker Street - its epic, it has to go through. I swear to christ if Dragostea gets through yet again, some of you all would want to get your heads checked.

    Macarena - its the better song, pure and simple.

    R 3 Match 7 - O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei. Close call but this one gets it because it nearly always will put you in good form.

    R 3 Match 8 - Berlin - Take My Breath Away. I already said previously Macarena was really just a wedding song for the DJ to try to get some feet on the floor. Berlin for the win.

    Baker Street because it's a classic.

    Take My Breath Away because it's a better song, but the Macarena is probably more quintessentially a OHW.

    Baker Street by miles, quality tune

    Take My Breath Away as it's a proper tune. Although I can't argue the impact of The Macarena, much as I personally hate it I wouldn't begrudge it going through

    Gerry Rafferty, though he has a load of other great songs and I'm surprised it's down for OHW - he used to be in a band called the Humblebums with Billy Connolly, who allegedly used to tell jokes between the songs, and these joke sets gradually got longer and longer....


    And Berlin, even though I don't like the song, because I have no faith in this democracy, and the Macarena needs to be afforded every possible opportunity to get knocked out as soon as possible.

    R 3 Match 7
    Gerry Raferty - Baker Street - Iconic saxophone, nice understated flute, good vocals and nice tune - My Vote
    Vs
    O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei - I'll be honest: I don't know it!

    R 3 Match 8
    Berlin - Take My Breath Away - Tedious song.
    Vs
    Los Del Rio - Macarena - Could have just about tolerated if it wasn't for that ridiculous dance!
    Not voting for either as I'm not mad about either. Why are some people voting for songs even when they are not mad about them?

    Because it's a bit of a laugh, even if it's 'I hate it less than the other', it keeps things moving along.

    Because we'd be here for years if everyone only voted for the ones they were 'mad' about. You don't have to love or even like a song to know you prefer it over another song...

    Exactly, for instance, a drunk and disoriented x Factor regional qualifier singing about rainbows and kittens without a note in their head will get my vote ahead of Las Ketchup - Asereje.

    You Get What You Give - both classics, but this one holds a special place in my heart.

    Teenage Dirtbag - one of my all time faves, I've been known to belt it out during a sing a long, and have some great memories as a result.
