I appreciate A's daring for not having anything remotely resembling a chorus anywhere in its three-and-a-half minutes, but ultimately that just makes it a boring two-chord groove that can't even be saved by it's oh-so-sexy video.

B. Now we're talking! It's got me bouncing in my office chair like a loon, and I'm not even a particularly huge fan of ska. There are some great sounds going on in there!

I like Raphael Saadiq, but to me A definitely crosses the slick/tasteful/self-referential line others have mentioned above. I would have gone with other tracks from his output personally. And as a slight aside the video is off-puttingly leery - not that I'm judging that in this cup of course. B's pretty interesting and, again, new to me, so I'm definitely keener to it this match.

I knew it was going to be close. I knew it was his and he probably knew it was mine - wheelhouse against wheelhouse.

I was only kidding. I just wanted to write "count" and "recount" in the same sentence.
