Interesting tidbits:
-An astounding 67 voters!
-MOST VOTES - (Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay Otis Redding
-FEWEST VOTES - Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in The 5th Dimension
-ALL songs got votes; no zeroes
-No pairs were even that close, which is incomprehensible to me. ;-D Only the duel of Righteous Bros and “Light My Fire” was relatively close, in single-digit difference.
I can’t believe the Beach Boys are out (and Roy Orbison rules), or that Aquarius is out! I can’t believe Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay keeps whaling over all these songs! Geesh, it’s not THAT good! ;-D
On to Round 6!
