[Homer J. Fong]

The Flying Pickets - Only You (1983) Vs The Beatles - Hello, Goodbye (1967) Hello Goodbye is probably my least favourite Beatles song. 🤢

Is that dreadful Robbie Williams cover really going to make it to the semis?

East 17 - Stay Another Day (1994) Vs Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name (2009) that's actually quite tricky, but I love the whole story around Rage getting it

[Irish Aris]

The Flying Pickets - Only You (1983) - I'm OK with either of them qualifying, voting Only You as a nod to the great Vince Clarke!
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are the Days of Our Lives (1975/Double A side 1991) - at least one of the 2 will get eliminated

For the other 2 I'll vote the more Christmas-y song

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (1984)
East 17 - Stay Another Day (1994)

[Necro]

The Flying Pickets - Only You (1983) - not sure how Robbie and Nicole keep surviving
Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) (1979) Double A sides must be exterminated for cheating!
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (1984) - Revenge for Shakin Stevens
East 17 - Stay Another Day (1994)

[Mutleyboo]

If I'm ok to join mid way my votes go to...

The Flying Pickets - Only You (1983)
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are the Days of Our Lives (1975/Double A side 1991)
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (1984)
