Dexys Midnight Runners : Come on Eileen Vs. Sniff N the Tears : Driver's Seat

[What Exit?]

So Come on Eileen is one of favorites in this poll and I always enjoy the song.
I know in theory I heard Driver's Seat in the first round, but I already forgot it again.

[JackieLikesVariety]

they are both VERY good songs but Rock and I are the only ones voting correctly, here.

so far.

[Rock]

I agree, both are good songs, but it would be a "Travesty" if Driver's Seat loses!

[JackieLikesVariety]

I listened to the song once again and I'm getting used to the real lyrics!

not to brag or anything

[Borborygmi]

Easy vote for "Dexys Midnight Eileen" over "Sniff N the Seat".

OK. Easy vote for “Come on Runners” over “Driver’s Tears”.

Even if Drivers Seat was every bit as good as Come on Eileen, the band name would cost Sniff N The Tears my vote.

I'll admit a name could theoretically influence my vote, but the only auto-lose name I can think of right now is Hoobastank.

[What Exit?]

What about Bolton? The name Bolton would absolutely negatively influence me.

[Rat Diva]

Especially if the first name is Michael. Man's got a voice like an asphalt eater.

Sniff N the Tears is at a Hoobastank level of terrible name for me. But that's a personal thing for everyone

[Rat Diva]

I wonder if it was a Cherry Poppin' Daddies type situation where they never thought they'd hit it big so they gave themselves a grody name, and then when they hit it big with "Zoot Suit Riot" they were stuck with it.

I look forward to the eventual 90s megapoll because there was some truly bizarro stuff in there. But then I unironically enjoy Eiffel 69's "Blue" so what do I know.

Haha, me too! But I also have Skee-lo's "I Wish" as my ringtone, so that's proof I have no taste.

I Wish is a jam.

Sometimes I also wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat.

They've been referred to as "The Daddies" in sensitive mentions.

Now there's a band name Jack Black would back: Michael Bolt On Bolt Off.
