Interesting tidbits:

-MOST VOTES - “(Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay Otis Redding
-FEWEST VOTES - “I’m a Believer” The Monkees
-ALL songs got some votes; no zeroes
-Most pairs were neck & neck. The only real run-away was “(Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay over “I’m a Believer”, which is incomprehensible to me. ;-D
On to Round 5!
Are you starting a new thread, or do we work off of this one?
P.S. Get ready for “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” to coast into the Final Four due to weak competition.
