Notes:
-36 voters
-The only tight race was for “Mona Lisa”. At first it was losing but later votes pushed it slightly ahead of “Don’t Be Cruel” by Elvis.
-No Elvis left! The last 2 are gone now!
-”Rock Around the Clock” was the biggest run-away, over “Singing the Blues”
On to Round 5!
No Elvis left! The last 2 are gone now!
