I'm voting for Spatula City.

I actually like "Here's Johnny".

My problem is -- despite what you said in the intro, Jon -- that "Spatula City" isn't a song and shouldn't be in the race. It's sort of ruining the overall results by including it. It seems as if Spatula City will be continuing on to the next round and I think it has a great shot at winning the whole thing.

Now tell me this, would anyone feel satisfied if this makes it to the final four? It's a non-song in a song tournament. I feel a little cheated.

But yeah, Spatula City is not good. Here's Johnny is.

Bill, I understand your point and, in retrospect, it might not have been a good idea to include Spatula City and Gandhi II in this tournament. As I said in the very beginning, I chose to include the exact set of songs that Bruce the Duck and Elvis used in their Best Song Tournaments. That being said, I do not personally think that either Spatula City or Gandhi II should be considered to be among the worst tracks in Al's catalog. There are actual songs that are much worse. As I indicated when I published the way I would have voted, I think it should have lost in the Movies bracket semiworst to SCFOS. However, my opinion is irrelevant as I am merely moderating this tournament.

So, to anyone who does feel like they are getting cheated by having Spatula City advance to the Final Four or, even worse, win the entire tournament, I would implore you to vote for Here's Johnny in this match-up. You are permitted to change your vote, provided you do so in a new post and indicate in that new post that you are nullifying your previous vote.

Alright sounds good.

I change my vote to Here's Johnny, essentially making it a Wild Card pick into the next round if it wins.

That being said... I like Here's Johnny way more than the other songs in this competition.
