Benevolent Thomas' got the answer. After gathering songs for a week, 32 songs made the final cut and compete in the Competition of the Competitions. The songs that took place in the competiton are: 1. Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles 2. Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen 3. The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star 4. Goo Goo Dolls - Iris 5. Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy 6. Semisonic - Closing Time 7. The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love 8. J-Kwon - Tipsy 9. New Radicals - You Get What You Give 10. Toadies - Possum Kingdom 11. Local H - Bound for the Floor 12. Spacehog - In the Meantime 13. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression that I get 14. Blues Traveler - Run Around 15. Spin Doctors - Two Princes 16. The Verve Pipe - The Freshman 17. Hootie and the Blowfish - Only Wanna Be With You 18. The Wallflowers - One Headlight 19. The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony 20. Eiffel 65 - Blue 21. Boomfunk MC - Freestyler 22. O-Zone - Numa Numa 23. Daddy Yankee - Gasolina 24. Men Without Hats - Safety Dance 25. Caesars Palace - Jerk it Out 26. Haddaway - What Is Love 27. Gotye - Somebody that I Used to Know 28. Chesney Hawkes - The One and Only 29. Bryn Christopher - The Quest 30. Arash - Boro Boro 31. Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs 32. Survivor - Eye of the Tiger Right now we are in the Round of 16 and as the competition is heating up let's take a look on which songs we are called to vote: Poll 1: The One And Only vs I Believe In A Thing Called Love Right now, the I Believe In A Thing Called Love has got the best of its rival outscoring it with 6 votes to 2. Poll 2: You Get What You Give vs Bitter Sweet Symphony Bitter Sweet Symphony is winning with 6 votes to 4 but with the voting reaching to its closing stages, we except a tough encounter between those two Poll 3 : Two Princes vs Iris Iris is currently trailing by 2 to its rival but anything can happen since there is still time left for a comeback!! Poll 4 : Closing Time vs Numa Numa Numa Numa seems has some ground to make up since it is down by 2 but with time left on the clock, it can turn things around. Stay tuned for more about Benevolent Thomas' competition and dont forget to drop by the regional forum to submit your vote and announce your favourite One Hit Wonder of all times

It would look cleaner either way. Just a recommendation.

I'd like to see some puns being made as well like "Will it be closing time for Semisonic or will it be the O-Zone that disappears?". There's a lot of material to go on.
