A is catchier.
B is more 'standard' Misfits, but I can't decide whether that's good, bad, or indifferent. Which makes me suspect the latter.

The Misfits AGAIN?!? is that the third time? It's been the Arthur Russell and Misfits cup, hasn't it? Ach....I kind of like both of these but I'm going to go for Bfor a couple of minor reasons - but mostly because I marginally prefer it. And I DO like that they keep their songs brief. Leaves you wanting more. That's nearly always a good thing

another disappointing tie.
A was ok, but i preferred the punkier misfits track.
if someone had said i'd vote for 2 misfits tracks in this year's cup, i would have have said they were mad.

The Ice Cube track doesn't do much for me, unfortunately, and as I mentioned in another tie, I've got plenty of time for early Misfits.
Easy B.

A isn't a patch on former glories but it's better than B. The Misfits? Please. Jokers.

A presidential danceoff! Ooh, someone's gone topical. I hate it when rap comes across as really basic doggerel, which is what's going on here, this is clunky and pretty childlike, some of the rhyming is cringeworthy. This is a genuine disaster.
I almost mentioned Bullet when I criticised the choice of "London Dungeon" in the previous round. I generally prefer good ole singalong Misfits, but this has the kind of energy that's been missing in the cup so far, some genuine rock n' roll attitude, cutting up a storm. Danzig could teach Cube a thing or two about rhyming, too, "President's bullet-ridden body in the street ... Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete". Poetry, imagery, nailed.

They sell Misfits t-shirts at Target.
This song re-established Cube's relevance. I can call him Cube being an OG myself.

The Cube track seems labored and off sounding..The sentiment is fine, but loses punch when he bent over for trump a year later..Going with the energy of the Misfits track..Vote B

I like both of these, but maybe A by a nose. There hasn't been much hip hop.

Not much to enjoy in either for me. Maybe the unusually polished arrangement of A was a bit of an unexpected pleasure.
