When I find myself on DRC
Often there's a poll to see
The Beatles win every one there could be

There could be, there could be
There could be, there could be
Other polls but Beatles win every one that could be
Just let it be and face it. The Beatles might could be eliminated.

I was joking. I voted fairly for the best song. "Let It Be" would have been my #2 choice in a ranked vote. I will stick with my original vote. Sorry for the confusion.

When I found myself out on the desert
Hot and thirsty as can be
A horse with no name came to me

On his saddle was a thermos
Of ice-cold lemon-flavored tea
I'm grateful for that horse who came to me

Came to me, came to me
Came to me, came to me
A horse with tea (but no name) came to me

You didn't do anything wrong, it's all good. I thought you were making a joke as "Let It Be" and turning it into "Could It Be"?

I was doing a dumb joke as the song is called "Let It Be".

I'll keep your vote as is.

The Beatles: Let It Be
Stevie Wonder: Superstition

Eagles: Hotel California

Don McLean: American Pie
Stevie Wonder: Sir Duke

Blondie: Heart of Glass

Fleetwood Mac: Dreams

The Knack: My Sharona
Paul McCartney and Wings: Band On The Run

Every song but the 2 Stevie Wonder songs is on my ***** list. I eliminated the one that was lower in the countdown.

Can I change my vote to Superstition?

I feel like that some kind of superstition going on to let the Beatles win again? Alright let this be already. I changed my vote from superstition to "Hotel California". As this is the final quarterfinal update and not changing again!

Monday, the Semifinals will begin as some kind of band will run away with this? Let's pour a heart of glass and keep your dicks out of some American Pie this weekend.

I would rather go with neither. Not going to waste a pass.

Don McLean: American Pie
Blondie: Heart of Glass

I feel Blondie: Heart of Glass is a better song. It feels more 80s than 70s.
Plus, I think "American Pie" might have a better chance taking down "Let It Be"

Hotel California got screwed, because it was in a 3-way vote, and the non-Beatles votes got split. If it was up against the Beatles song by itself, it would've knocked it out, and then we could've all gone on with our lives. Having said that:

I did an unmadness once where I had everybody vote on their preference rather than an elimination tournament. The results were significantly different. I will do one after this one too starting with the initial list from this thread.
