Excellent choices, both! Why we occasionally go back to before our time. I'm voting B because I specifically remember thinking it's a song I might have picked had I been in this group.  |

Oh my GOD
A
by a million miles! It's a lyrical masterpiece, stuffed full of the wittiest lines, a joy to hear again. One of Lennon's favourites, you know
- and I KNOW we're not voting on the visuals, but isn't that a beautifully choreographed scene? Harpo swinging and whistling, Chico almost hidden at the back on piano, a happy smiling chorus throwing their weight behind the choruses. I think I saw juggling at some point!
B might have won in most other matches, but...come on

Not overly interested in either. B is an interesting curio and was a bit of a favourite of The Beat Generation and therefore holds a bit more interest for me. A doesn't seem like a record to me.

Great tie, this theme keeps on bringing some fresh air - well, hardly fresh if it comes from 80 years ago, but ...
Anyway At the Circus is one of the few Marx Bros I had not seen, so I have been able to enjoy A all along. B was very nice but no real contest here.

The Groucho song is great. A favorite of mine.

I like The Marx Bros, though it's been an age and a half since I've seen the films, but this doesn't do an awful lot for me. A couple of decent lines, big stage comedy numbers might be lyrically dextrous, but musically it's a horror of cheese.
Nah, abstinence works best for me, again.

Oh great tie. I love so many of the Marx bros. songs and this one is a gem, some wonderful lines. But B is a deep personal favourite and one I never thought to see in a Cup; wonderful lyrics but also some super boogie woogie playing.

B ain't bad, but A is fab!

A is interesting to me because of its connection to Breaking Bad, but B is definitely the better tune.
