I'm one of the guys who voted for Send Me An Angel over If You Leave, even though OMD is one of my favorite bands of all time. Send Me An Angel is just so, so, so 80s. OMD is from the 80s, but not necessarily only of the 80s. Same with Send Me An Angel over Take My Breath Away, the latter is not only not the 80s-est of this matchup but it's not even the most Berlin-est of their songs. (It really sounds nothing like the rest of their catalogue)
And as Keith pointed out, Send Me an Angel ran pretty much through the entire 80s because they kept trying to make it a hit SO FREAKING HARD. All those releases were supposedly re-recordings too, but damn if I can hear much of a difference. But the extended dance mix in '89 is really nice. (They just went ahead and named their album Send Me An Angel '89 and it had both the album version and the dance mix on it, with a lot of filler that's not bad but also not great)
Hearing you guys back was like a ray of sunshine on this -- well, okay, it was actually a pretty sunny day here in Ohio, but it was still a ray of sunshine on this sunshine-y day! You might say it took my breath away (or maybe that's just what I was singing with unabashed melodrama while listening in the car...and who gets my vote). Also, I imagined an Oscars-style In Memoriam while you were going through all the songs these two beat (for better or for worse).
I should have prepared a montage of songs with dramatic announcements!
Thanks for jumping back in and listening/voting so quickly! (note: we put out two eps on one day to catch up, so there's a hair metal ep you may have missed! --Keith
I love Hart to Hart! Nothing like a bunch of mega rich people to save the day. Also, I guess it`s the first time I get to listen to the intro in english. As for the matchup, it's time to kiss Real Life goodbye and embrace the mightiness of the Moroder.
Cosa dice, mio amico! Giorgo Moroder e Italiano, e io sono Argentino! On a side note, I find the idea of me being a Casanova completely hilarious! I guess it's because I appreciate a good make out song!
I guess your appreciation of makeout songs and your suave, sophisticated accent(only from my perspective is it an accent, of course), make you more of a Casanova candidate than I am! 😂
“Send Me an Angel” being in the lead over “Take My Breath Away” is almost as depressing as Trump being in office.
THAT is almost as overly-dramatic a statement as these songs' styles! 😂

Do Argentinian women find the American accent to be exotic and seductive? Asking for a friend.
Tell your friend that an American accent could be a winner if used wisely!
Oh right, it's DeBurgh that's your countryman!! How could I fuck that up? 😂 Viva Italia 🇮🇹!
