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

The Round Of 32: where the choices get tougher and the cheeses get lonelier. We're writing Back To The Future/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.

Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by Harry Styles. For more information/to become a patron of the show, visit patreon.com/mastas.
