Does this mean you’re not voting in the 1st pair, Wheel vs. Wieder?

TOURNAMENT OF CHART-TOPPERS 1950S PING LIST
(This is a temporary ping list... so don’t worry!)

RUN-OFFS FROM ROUND 2 RESULTS:

"Wheel of Fortune" beats "Auf Wiederseh'n"

and

"Oh! My Pa-Pa" beats "Little Things Mean A Lot"

Thanks to all who helped break the ties!

Round 3 posted separately next.

Interesting tidbits on the survey:

-MOST VOTES - "Mona Lisa”
-FEWEST VOTES - “(Play a) Simple Melody" - its opponent! Simple Melody - just 1 vote!
-Otherwise, all songs got votes
-several pairs were constantly neck&neck to the wire, including of course the run-off pairs (glad we only had 2!)

Oh, shoot! I missed the run-off ping, due to other pings burying it! I would’ve voted AGAINST Papa. :-)
