Music Monday: The Last Four

by Scott Lydon

UPDATE: We fixed the poll. Go vote again if you haven't already!!


Happy Music Monday! For those who don't know, each year we do a special March Bracket Event on our site. This year Scott's been forced honored with the keys to the event. We call it... MUSIC MADNESS!!

At the top of March, we posted 64 one-hit wonders. Now it's all down to these four. You might even call them... The Last Four! You could call them something else too but our lawyers advised us not to use another name. When you're done reading the list, head to our Facebook poll and fight between the decades. We'll have the results (and the Championship) on Wednesday and the big wrap-up announcement on Friday! But for now... Let's get hype!

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400

 

 

After the fall of Gary Glitter, only one band was able to take his place in the world of sporting hype. Zombie Nation is the proof that sometimes, all you've gotta do is be in the right place at the right time. Now everyone knows their song, even if almost no one knows their name. The perfect song to get us excited for the list of LAST FOUR one-hit wonders!

What, you expected us to just post without a crowd warmup? Do you even KNOW how Championships work? Sheesh. You'd think you never watched sports before! Anyway, Last Four coming up after the jump, and then you'll need to go and cast your vote on our Facebook poll.

'70s Bracket Champion: Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music

 

Everybody behind the scenes was SURE that King Harvest had it locked down! How could such a thing happen? Maybe it's the residual power of Vanilla Ice? Or maybe funk just beats mellow when it comes to MUSIC MADNESS.

'90s Bracket Champion: The Proclaimers - 500 Miles

 

 

One got knocked down and won't get up again. One wants to be the song that walked to the Championship. Can The Proclaimers pull it off?

80's Bracket Champion: Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen

 

At this moment, they've won everything... in their bracket. Now Dexy's steps forward to battle again. If they can win twice, they'll prove the dominance of the '80s over all one-hit wonders!

'00s Bracket Champion: Fountains Of Wayne - Stacy's Mom

 

She's got it going on over all the other '00s hits. But can she take it farther? Or is this where the crush dissolves?

Good luck to all the Bracket Champions as they enter the LAST FOUR  Now it's gonna be all up to you, Dear Reader. Rush over to our Facebook page and start voting now! Your votes determine the final head-to-head! We'll announce them on Wednesday and then get ready! Because next week at this time we'll announce THE GREATEST ONE-HIT WONDER OF ALL!
