That AC Newman cover is pretty nice. But...sorry Tam. I like the Talking Heads song more.

The A HA version of Take on Me is a sacred song to me. Sorry. And that's a pretty darn good Talking Heads song.

Well damn. Tough matchup for a really great cover of a mediocre pop song.

Both songs I go against in Round 1 are in my library. This TH song is great, and I hope it slays some safe picks along the way.

Newman covers another song called "Be Not So Fearful." The Walking Dead picked it, up and I think it's fairly well-known now.
