Hotshots' "Snoopy vs The Red Baron". Red Baron

Me vs. the Music - Britney and Madonna. Everyone loses.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(Yeah I know it's "Me AGAINST the Music" but it sounds funnier this way.)

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

The rector wins, but only with the assistance of an exorcist.

Chaos wins in the heat death of the universe!

Jah wins!

LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Watch Song by Shellac. The title isn't a fight, but the song it. It should be called "Albini vs Watch", in which case Albini wins because he is vicious.

Stupid (Stupid), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Lifter Puller vs. the End of Everything | Lifter Puller | Lifter Puller beats all, methinks.

m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Sunday, 14 March 2004 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I so love "the Watch Song".

"Ivan Meets G.I. Joe" by the Clash.

"I Fought the Law" by the Clash (well, they didn't write it, but the law won, btw)

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 14 March 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja = Best Song by a Third-Tier Nu Metal Band EVER!

dieblucasdie (dieblucasdie), Sunday, 14 March 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sebadoh - Weed against Speed = Weed no contest

Blood Brothers - Ambulance vs Ambulance = The Blood Brothers, who've tricked you into buying their album.

Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex. I know that's not what the title actually means, but it's the constant ilx dillema.

dieblucasdie (dieblucasdie), Sunday, 14 March 2004 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

the biz vs the nuge | beastie boys | undecided

dyson (dyson), Sunday, 14 March 2004 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" Does Yoshimi win? Not one of my favorite Flaming Lips records....

"I Fought the Law," Dead Kennedys. Dan White.

m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Sunday, 14 March 2004 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Amon Tobin - "Golfer vs. Boxer" and obviously the boxer.

Guns N Roses "Get in the Ring"- obviously the critics won.

Shaun (shaun), Sunday, 14 March 2004 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

XTC Verus Adam Ant- They Might Be Giants- Three on one. And Stuart doesn't look the hardest of individuals

I wouldn't bet on that

noodle vague (noodle vague), Sunday, 14 March 2004 20:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Guttermouth, "Bruce Lee vs. the Kiss Army". Keep in mind that Bruce has Kareem on his side, and also that he is BRUCE FUCKING LEE. The Dragon in a rout, son.

Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Sunday, 14 March 2004 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Sunday, 14 March 2004 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Big fight!

"Cobra Versus Mongoose" by Shonen Knife.

The winner: smilin' kiddies and thirty-something computer programmers everywhere.

John 2, Sunday, 14 March 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

"Against All Odds" -- The Odds.

Why be against The Odds in the first place? What did they ever do to you? Normalcy is never something to strive for.

Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Sunday, 14 March 2004 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

"Action vs. Vibe" - polvo

(actually my favorite song by them)

donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 14 March 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

but which will win¿

dyson (dyson), Sunday, 14 March 2004 22:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Pavement "Neil Haggerty Vs. Jon Spencer (In A Non-Alcoholic Bar)" - A well matched fight, but I'm guessing that Haggerty would win. Not quite sure why.

Pavement "J Vs. S" - Mmm. Don't know. S probably fights dirty.

Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Sunday, 14 March 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Shellac's "Watch Song":

It doesn't matter who they want to fight- Shellac always wins.

Shaun (shaun), Sunday, 14 March 2004 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

? vs. Rahzel - The Roots
(?uestlove wins).

C W (C W), Monday, 15 March 2004 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

"Stones Vs. Zep" by Two Dollar Guitar. tough call, that.

Al (sitcom), Monday, 15 March 2004 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

BI vs Friendship - Gang Starr (business wins, i think)

Sym (shmuel), Monday, 15 March 2004 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Swell Maps: Collision With a Frogman vs. The Mangrove Delta Plan

... this one's too close to call I think

Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 15 March 2004 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

The Vandals - Oi to the World
"Oi to the punks / Oi to the skins / Oi to the world / And everybody wins"

matulageci (matulageci), Monday, 15 March 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

dyson (dyson), Monday, 15 March 2004 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

"Youth against Fascism" Sonic Youth. Youth Wins!!! Hooray... (oh but do they mean themselves?)

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 15 March 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

"Against the Odds" - Phil Collins...

Phil lost, apparently

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 15 March 2004 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The Flys - Fly Vs. Fly.

Fly beats fly on points.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 15 March 2004 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Ramones - I'm Against It

"It" identified on closer examination to actually comprise politics, communists, games, fun, anyone, Jesus freaks, circus geeks,
summer, spring, anything, sex, drugs, waterbugs, playing ping pong, the Viet Cong, Burger King and indeed anything.

Ramones clearly doomed from the outset for biting off far more than they could chew.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

"Albinoni vs Star Wars" - Sigue Sigue Sputnik

Star Wars can muster several At-At Walkers and the Death Star. Albinoni has a bunch of oboes.

"Tornadoes Vs Dynamos (3-3)" - Real Sounds

The clue is in the title.

Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Billy Bragg - "Spy vs Spy"

Both lost due to external forces...

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom Robinson Band - Up Against The Wall.

Presumably a heavyweight contest between the REM album and the Pink Floyd album.

Fight cancelled as neither contestant considered match fit.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

MXPX: Fist VS. Tact ---> Fist by KO in Round 1
Kool & The Gang: Jones Vs. Jones ---> No contest
Gus Gus: Love Vs. Hate ---> Hate by KO in Round 4
Handsome Family: Amelia Earheart Vs. Dancing Bear ---> Dancing Bear on points

matulageci (matulageci), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

fact checking cuz (fcc), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Dentists "Tony Bastable v John Noakes"- beats me, I'm American

Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Cuban Brothers - Cognoscenti Vs Intelligensia

fight abandoned due to irritation induced rioting.

xpost
I'd forgotten all about that pavement song - "aww man, no.....dames" is just a great line

hmmm (hmmm), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Steely Dan - Two Against Nature.

Messrs. Becker & Fagen suffer humiliating defeat in contest against an old, unarmed woman.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"Dentists "Tony Bastable v John Noakes"- beats me, I'm American"

This is effectively the battle of the 70's kids magazine programme presenters (Magpie vs. Blue Peter).

Noakesy wins, obviously.

It might have been a closer contest if Bastable had been replaced by Mick Robertson (again).

Get down Shep!

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

dang it, I am so culturally deficient :(

Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 15 March 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Happy Apple - "You & Mattel vs. Me and Coleco"

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 24 March 2005 22:51 (twenty years ago)

A few months after first posting on this thread I realized that I had been misreading that Lifter Puller song title for quite a while.

Maciej, Friday, 25 March 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

It's an album, not a song, but who can resist:

Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome

Damned if I know who wins. According to googlefight, it's Placebo Syndrome by a wide margin (700 K to 7K).

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 25 March 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

Royal Trux: "United States Of America Vs. One 1974 Cadillac El Dorado Sedan"

http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=United+States+Of+America&word2=One+1974+Cadillac+El+Dorado+Sedan

The Invisible Skratch Piklz vs. Da Klamz Uv Deth

Piklz win.

Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Friday, 25 March 2005 00:56 (twenty years ago)

Trenchmouth yields two...

The Future vs. Centrifugal Force - I'll side with Centrifugal Force

Trenchmouth vs. The Light of the Sun - Sadly, there is no more Trenchmouth. Happily, the sun still emits light. Therefore, the light of the sun is the odds on favorite.

Yes, by the way, I know the last is an album title, but I couldn't help myself.

John Justen (johnjusten), Friday, 25 March 2005 01:54 (twenty years ago)

Warren Zevon, almost - "Boom Boom Mancini" (...fighting Bobby Chacone)

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 25 March 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

The Banjo wins.

jesse, Friday, 25 March 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

Guided By Voices "The Who Vs. Porky Pig"

I'm guessing that The Who totally womp on Porky.

Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Friday, 25 March 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

And I was right.

Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Friday, 25 March 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

"something against you" -- the pixies
if the something is a piano, falling on you, then you is totally screwed.

crly, Friday, 25 March 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

"England Vs. America", Luke Haines.

America. For now.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 25 March 2005 05:15 (twenty years ago)

Warren Zevon, almost - "Boom Boom Mancini" (...fighting Bobby Chacone)

best.song.evah. for the record, boom boom mancini clobbered bobby chacon the one time they fought. but the big loser, in both the song and in real life, was duk koo kim.

fact checking cuz (fcc), Friday, 25 March 2005 05:20 (twenty years ago)

Yup. I love this song.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 25 March 2005 05:21 (twenty years ago)

Manic Street Preachers, "The Masses Against the Classes" -- to the dismay of the majority, the classes win this one everywhere except Canada.

Helen Reddy, "You and Me Against the World" -- the world scores a decisive victory over ol' Ruby Red Dress.

Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 25 March 2005 05:26 (twenty years ago)

'james vs. the reds' -- stratageme. if i knew what the frink was going on in this track i'd let you know. right now i guess the only winner is me, for listening.

irrigation can save your people (irrigation can save your peopl), Friday, 25 March 2005 09:13 (twenty years ago)

Mclusky -

Crackity (Crackity Jones), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:06 (twenty years ago)

http://www.brainyencyclopedia.com/encyclopedia/p/p_/p_funk_mythology.html

Laszlo Kovacs (Laszlo Kovacs), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

According to the lyrics, Yoshimi wins. Easily one of the best pop moments of the 00s, and the best thing Flaming Lips ever did!

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

"Meth vs. Chef" -- Raekwon was better on this particular song.

Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Saturday, 26 March 2005 01:50 (twenty years ago)

Superfly Vs. Shaft

Ian John50n (orion), Saturday, 26 March 2005 01:52 (twenty years ago)
