Soft Cell! Tears for Fears! Cage match! Two songs enter, one song leaves! [We kid. Both songs will be fine. Don’t worry. No songs were harmed in the recording of this episode. This is just 4-seed “Tainted Love” against 13-seed “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” It’s a friendly little vote-off. Seriously, don’t be scared!]
