Ok so the second attempt is not going to happen either. So here is a tournament where the voting starts right now, all you need to do is pick a song for each battle, even you can do this.

I have reduced the tournament to best 80s song from a movie. These are songs that have to be known MAINLY for being in a movie, not a big hit that so happens to be in a movie. So for example Twist and Shout does not count as it was super famous before Feris Bueler but Danger Zone does count as it was made for Top Gun. Got it. So we have a bracket style tournament.

  1. Danger Zone
  2. Power of Love
  3. Ghostbusters
  4. Eye of the Tiger
  5. Don't you forget about me
  6. In your Eyes
  7. Into the Groove
  8. When Doves Cry
  9. A View to a Kill
  10. Take my breath away
  11. Maniac
  12. Flashdance
  13. I've had the time of my life
  14. Kokomo
  15. Footloose
  16. Flashdance, what a feeling
  17. St. Elmo's Fire
  18. Axel F
  19. Neverending Story
  20. Holiday Road
  21. Glory of Love
  22. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
  23. Your the Best
  24. Burning Heart
  25. Smooth Criminal
  26. Push it to the limit
  27. The Touch
  28. Dream Warriors
  29. On Our Own
  30. Back in Time
  31. Shakedown
  32. I'm Alright

I'll organize them later into a bracket, for now we have our first leg of the bracket, vote for a song in each and they will move on to the sweet 16.

Bracket 1

1. Power of Love   vs. Shakedown

2. In your Eyes vs. Back in time

3. A View to a Kill vs Neverending Story

4. Kokomo vs St. Elmo's Fire

Bracket 2

1. Smooth Criminal vs. I'm Alright

2. Ghostbusters vs. Dream Warriors

3. Take my Breath Away vs.Glory of Love

4. Burning Heart vs. Axel F

Yeah, I am blissfully ignorant of half the shit in here, and will remain so because of the half I'm familiar with.

Damn it, thanks nintyfan for catching that, in the third bracket 3rd match it should be I've had the time of my life, not take my breath away.

So vote for that one again. I've Had the Time of my Life or Footloose

Ugh I don't care for either one... footloose.
