    The question is why do you keep posting this Scooter garbage and why do I keep listening to it, really? Seriously.

    Man, both of these were bad. Why did I decide to start listening to this tourney today?

    Is this an uncharacteristically weak matchup or should I avoid the other ones too?

    Ugh, unless you guys come up with better tunes Alpha Beat is going to win this one in a walk.

    i wholeheartedly endorse anything with a mouth and macneal reference. but metro station is so good….

    these songs are both way better than yesterday’s, by the way.

    I think I like Tokio Hotel more than those two, and i say that with bile streaming.

  6. The Illiterate  |   Posted on Jun 4th, 2008

    I think I’ll stick with the original Mouth and McNeal.

    aw, i really like the metro station track. it’s not like it’s trying to be stairway or anything.

    my favorite of the songs posted so far is probably the annie track, with hotstylz, metro station, and alphabeat bringing up the rear.

    I say all those Metro Station kids should adopt Scooter’s shaved head look instead of hiding under those extreme combovers…Seriously, how bad have your sidebangs gotten that you start looking like a bunch of guys trying to mask male-pattern baldness?

    Oh, and these two songs are awful – I’ll pass on voting today…

    The Metro Station song would be a massive, summer-dominating
    wildebeast right now were it given to Avril instead. Terrible video,
    annoying haircuts, but that’s a slick little track.

    @Maura Johnston: I agree on the Annie. That’s my absolute summer favorite, by far. Has her version of “Two of Hearts” come out yet?

  11. rogerniner  |   Posted on Jun 4th, 2008

    I’m voting on Scooter today, for sadism’s sake.

  12. the sieve  |   Posted on Jun 4th, 2008

    Pass. They both suck.

    Metro Station wins by way of chump seeding. who’s voting for Scooter? i mean, not ironically.

    if the Lodger’s “Good Old Days” doesn’t show up in this tourney somewhere, i turn in my Mickey Ears, guys. and don’t say it doesn’t have a chance to be a hit on mainstream radio because…I KNOW, and neither does half the shit you’ve posted so far. Alphabeat? on what continent will that be a “summer jam?” and is it a continent that tends to have “summer?”

    @Thierry: Trust me, you don’t want Miley’s brother to stop hiding behind the hair.

    I am going to vote for it anyway, just because it’s hilarious they got together through their Hannah Montana sibs.

  15. chaircrusher  |   Posted on Jun 5th, 2008

    Annie should win. The rest of these tracks are so bad.

    Though Scooter is just awful enough to be fun. Plus they’ve attached themselves to the dumbest dance craze, since…forever: Jumpstyle.

    Gotta love the Jumpstyle — it can only be performed by kids young enough to have not yet developed their irony glands. Plus, it gives anyone over 20 a heart attack inside 3 minutes.

    @Maura Johnston: With so many amusing Metro Station fan videos, I’m surprised you posted the real deal

    I realize this is a day old, so this question is merely theoretical, but does anyone else hear shades of that “Be Mine” remix in the beginning of this??

  18. Mr. Praline  |   Posted on Jun 5th, 2008

    I vote Scooter, only for the fact that I own seven Scooter albums and singles, all of which were released before 2000.

    I’m a sad, sad man.
