For Episode 22’s face-off, we’ve got a one-hit wonder versus an 80s hit machine. It’s Baltimora with 8-seeded “Tarzan Boy” versus The Pointer Sisters with number 9 seed, “Automatic.” Will the Sisters automatically win? Not if the Lord of the Jungle has anything to say. Which he probably doesn’t, as he was famously portrayed as being limited in the speechifying department.

Please also, as promised, enjoy this link to Joe’s article on “Tarzan Boy”:
