Record Of The Year Showdown, Episode 5: Round Of 32, '59-'90

<p>The Round Of 32: where the choices get tougher and the cheeses get lonelier. We're writing <em>Back To The Future</em>/Babybel fan-fic, analyzing palimpsest layers, appreciating Bobby Darin's interpretive skills (and apologizing to Jerry Orbach), and wondering who's going to do a better job of seducing Sarah, Mrs. Robinson or Toto. What song is a red-wine drunk? Who burned off their eyelashes in seventh grade? We're looking for answers -- and half of the ROTYS Sweet 16.</p> <p>Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by Harry Styles.
