BATTLE: Bootsy Collins – I’d Rather Be With You -VS- Hall & Oates – Sara Smile
All right all you bicentennial babies, you weren’t the only things born in 1976. Today’s battle goes deep, when making albums wasn’t easy.
ORIGINAL: Spooky

BATTLE: Mariah Carey – Always be my Baby -VS- Nelly Furtado – Turn off the Light

BATTLE: State of the Art of Noise
Everyone has heard Somebody That I Used To Know but if you dig a little deeper into Making Mirrors Gotye has some laid back jams you don’t expect. I couldn’t find a definite answer – but it’s hard to imagine the title is a coincidence.
