One poster puts forward two versions of the same song. The next poster states which of the two versions he or she prefers and then puts forward two versions of another song. The following poster states which of the two versions he or she prefers and then puts forward two versions of yet another song ... and so on.


Examples


First poster

Mad World - Tears For Fears

v

Mad World - Gary Jules


Second poster

Gary Jules


If - Bread

v

If - Telly Savalas


Third poster

Bread


Desperado - The Eagles

v

Desperado - Linda Ronstadt


... and so on.


Before I begin, it should be noted that:-

(a) The two competing versions of the song may be either the original and a cover or two covers.

(b) Differently titled versions of the same song will be allowed - e.g. "Callow La Vita" by Raymond Froggatt and "Red Balloon" by the Dave Clark Five.

(c) Two versions of the same song by the same artist or band will be allowed - e.g. the Euro '96 and World Cup '98 versions of "Three Lions" by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds.


Right, that's enough waffle, let me begin:-

Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

Unchained Melody - Robson and Jerome
