So before I screw this up, pick the song I think best from each pairing?
This will be fun, thanks CoackBK!

My Picks: #1 Ebony And Ivory #31 Girls School #3 Silly Love Songs #4 My Love #5 Comin Up (live) #27 My Brave Face #7 Band On The Run #8 Listen To What The Man Said #9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey #10 Live And Let Die #11 Junior's Farm #21 Maybe I'm Amazed (live) #20 Hi Hi Hi #14 Another Day #18 Take It Away #17 Jet Most were fairly easy. Junior's Farm over Venus And Mars/Rock Show was tough as I like both. Hit Hi Hi over Goodnight Tonight was tough as I'm not a big fan of either song.

#1 Ebony And Ivory vs. #32 Letting Go I have to go with Letting Go. Rocking more than message. #2 Say Say Say vs. #31 Girls School A tough call. A lot of Say Say's points come from the video though. I'll have to go with Girl's School.
#3 Silly Love Songs vs. #30 Arrow Through Me Another tough call. The "all over the place" bass drives Silly Love Songs to the lead.
#4 My Love vs. #29 Mary Had A Little Lamb I liked My Love a whole lot when it came out. I'm kind of tired of it now. I'm going to give Mary Had a Little Lamb the upset.
#5 Comin Up (live) vs. #28 I've Had Enough This may be the toughest call. Both songs are favorites of mine. Comin Up.
#6 With A Little Luck vs. #27 My Brave Face I like With a Little Luck. A soft song that rock's out at the end. Give me the long version too.
#7 Band On The Run vs. #26 So Bad I've got a big urge to topple the giant here. I love So Bad so much. But I got go with Band on the Run.
#8 Listen To What The Man Said vs. #25 Give Ireland Back To The Irish Listen to What the Man Said.
#9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey vs. #24 Press I like Uncle Albert a whole lot. I was never a fan of Press. A terrible single from Press to Play. It did not represent the album at all.
#10 Live And Let Die vs. #23 Getting Closer The luck of the draw here. These are both excellent, rockin' songs. Live and Let Die is too epic. It gets the win. #11 Junior's Farm vs. #22 Venus And Mars/Rock Show Another unfortunate match-up. See above. Junior's Farm.
#12 Let Em In vs. #21 Maybe I'm Amazed (live) Easy for me. Maybe I'm Amazed.
#13 Goodnight Tonight vs. #20 Hi Hi Hi Two of my favorites but Hi Hi Hi gets the easy win.
#14 Another Day vs. #19 Helen Wheels Many of these songs, these two in particular, could have went much further with a different seating. Helen Wheels
#15 No More Lonely Nights vs. #18 Take It Away Take it Away.
#16 Spies Like Us vs. #17 Jet This hurts but I like Spies Like Us more.

#1 Letting Go #2 Girl’s School #3 Silly Love Songs #4 My Love #5 Coming Up (Live) #6 My Brave Face #7 Band On The Run #8 Listen To What The Man Said #9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey #10 Live And Let Die #11 Junior’s Farm #12 Maybe I’m Amazed (live) #13 Hi Hi Hi #14 Helen Wheels #15 No More Lonely Nights #16 Jet
There were four decisions I found problematic:
Say Say Say vs. Girls’ School (I only have middling interest in both) With A Little Luck vs. My Brave Face (I like the former, but the latter has energy and I find it fresh sounding) Goodnight Tonight vs. Hi Hi Hi (like coachbk, I’m not big on either of these) Another Day vs. Helen Wheels (Two of my favourites. One slow, the other fast. Which one to go for?)

#32 Letting Go #2 Say Say Say #3 Silly Love Songs #4 My Love #28 I've Had Enough #6 With A Little Luck #7 Band On The Run #8 Listen To What The Man Said #9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey #10 Live And Let Die #22 Venus And Mars/Rock Show #12 Let Em In #20 Hi Hi Hi #14 Another Day #18 Take It Away #17 Jet many of these were tough choices. I combined my liking with consideration of how good of a hit they were in terms of content, hook, etc.
edit:though I really love Girls School to me Say Say Say was more of a pure Macca Jacko blend than any of the other Macca-other mega star collabs.

#1 Ebony And Ivory: the message man, the message! #2 Say Say Say: When two great saints meet, it's a humbling experience. #3 Silly Love Songs: Major Macca #1, he was running out of those. #4 My Love: Classic love song for Linda! #5 Comin Up (live): God, I hated to vote for any version of "Coming Up" but it was a #1. #6 With A Little Luck: Another late #1. #7 Band On The Run: Iconic McCartney. #8 Listen To What The Man Said: A great radio hit. #9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey: Postulate hit. #10 Live And Let Die: Not even close. #11 Junior's Farm: Tough, tough, tough. #21 Maybe I'm Amazed (live): Many Americans prefer this live version, LOL I presume we are referring to WOA version. #20 Hi Hi Hi: Disco Sucks! #19 Helen Wheels: And since you've gone you're just another day! #15 No More Lonely Nights: One of Paul's very last great singles! #17 Jet: One of the best #2 concert songs ever.

#32 Letting Go #2 Say Say Say #30 Arrow Through Me #29 Mary Had A Little Lamb #5 Comin Up (live) #27 My Brave Face #7 Band On The Run #8 Listen To What The Man Said #9 Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey #10 Live And Let Die #11 Junior's Farm #21 Maybe I'm Amazed (live) #20 Hi Hi Hi #19 Helen Wheels #15 No More Lonely Nights #17 Jet
I know I prefer the ballots at the top and the comments below, so some random thoughts
#1 Ebony And Ivory vs. #32 Letting Go I get why "Ebony" is a #1 seed; "Letting Go" is my UMBC...
#3 Silly Love Songs vs. #30 Arrow Through Me "Arrow Through Me" is a great smooth track. #4 My Love vs. #29 Mary Had A Little Lamb Both stinkers #5 Comin Up (live) vs. #28 I've Had Enough Close, but I'll take the live track #6 With A Little Luck vs. #27 My Brave Face "My Brave Face" may be my favorite of these 32
#11 Junior's Farm vs. #22 Venus And Mars/Rock Show and these two would be in my final four if it broke just right.
#14 Another Day vs. #19 Helen Wheels Another tough one.

We have two ties right now so I'll wait a little while before starting round two.
If ties persist, I'm going to give the nod to the higher rated song.
