BOTB Results: Who "Worked It" Best?


Friends, we definitely worked the rock and roll tributes to vocational responsibilities...it was oh sooooo close, but I'm not a bit surprised that our winner!  
Donna Summer: "She Works Hard for the Money"
Lee, Debra, Janet, Mirka, Birgit

Huey Lewis and the News: "Working for a Livin'"
Mike, John

***Dire Straits: "Money for Nothing"***
Mary, Alex, Stephen, Chris, Debbie, Mike

In my humble opinion, Dire Straits is more than than the "sultans of swing," they are rock and roll gods (little g gods, people...little g) and deserve any and all praise! And "Money for Nothing" has to be in their top three. In the age of MTV glory, this song surely was played to death, but I'm okay with it.

To the victors! Spin it one more time, boys:


If you haven't done so already, you know what comes next -- check out the peeps blogs! 

 See you on the first of the month for our next battle of the bands!

    It was played to death but it nailed music videos so well.

      I could actually be okay with this one being played to death (a rare stance for me).

    We have to move these 'color' tvs. When did we switch to just saying tvs? I wonder if Amazon sells black and white TVs?

      Hey, there was a time that saying "color" TV was just plan bragging!

    Agree that Dire Straits deserved the win, but I still like Donna Summer and it was good to see that I am not the only one. Nice race between Donna and Dire, but no tears from me for Huey.

      In keeping with my favorite position of battling songs I like, I can't be unhappy with any outcome.

    Terrific Battle, DOC CHERDO! And I'm pleased to see the outcome turned out srait.

    One of the truly classic MTV music videos which would certainly be in my Top 5, and more likely Top 3. Let's see...

    1) 'The Old Man Down The Road' - John Fogerty

    2) 'Come On, Eileen' - Dexy's Midnight Runners

    3) 'Money For Nothing' - Dire Straits

    Yip! Top 3.

      The cool thing about MTV is that is cements the time period in your cranium with delish music.

      What about...
      "Take on Me"
      "White Wedding"
      "Is This Love?"
      "Hands to Heaven"

      (See what I did there? All good looking big hair guys...)

Thanks for your personal yada, yada, yada,
