    Most of you voted for this song in every round. Don't complain when it wins.

    No, he's right, it is probably the best song in the competition but not Tear for Fears' best.
    Just as Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime is not their best.

    I can get behind the Tears for Fears song not being their best. I picked it because I've always thought of it as their most recognizable. But I can't agree with you on the Talking Heads song. Out of curiosity, what do you think is better than "Once In a Lifetime"?

    Well "Physco Killer" but that is actually 70s. "Road to Nowhere" is a bit better. "Life During Wartime" is really powerful. I would rate that as their #1 80's song.

    "And She was" and "Burning Down the House" where about equal to "Once in a Lifetime" for me.

    "Once In A Lifetime" is one of my favorite songs, period. "Born Under Punches" off the same album is another of their good ones, though.

    I think we can safely say "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is the winner.
