My Picks: #1 Mull Of Kintyre vs. #16 Put It There OUCH! A tough one right off. Two potential "final four" songs. The bagpipes stir my Irish blood so I'll go with Mull Of Kintyre. #31 Oh Woman Oh Why vs. #18 Old Siam Sir Two very similar (and good) songs. Old Siam Sir gets my vote #3 Wonderful Christmastime vs. ##14 Dance Tonight Two catchy songs. Dance Tonight gets the vote for not having the "ding dong ding dong" part. #29 Ever Present Past vs. #20 Back Seat Of My Car Back Seat Of My Car is great, Ever Present Past just good #28 From A Lover To A Friend vs. #21 Tug Of War Tug wins easily #6 Hope Of Deliverance vs. #11 Jenny Wren Both good songs. Hope Of Deliverance gets my vote-still perplexed as to why this wasn't a top 40 US hit. I heard it a decent amount on the radio and it sounded great! #7 This One vs. #23 Stranglehold Easy choice of the excellent This One over the wretched Stranglehold. #8 Young Boy vs. #24 Figure Of Eight Young Boy should have been the US single instead of World Tonight. It wins easily over the boring Figure Of Eight. Read more: abbeyrd.proboards.com/thread/5984/paul-mcartcney-hits-tourney-round#ixzz5Lqd3EqGa

#1 Mull Of Kintyre vs. #16 Put It There Put it There. I'm never going to Mull. I like the bags but that's about it.
#31 Oh Woman Oh Why vs. #18 Old Siam Sir This is a tough one for me. I love both songs. This is an odd match-up since Paul's vocals are very similar in both. I'll going with the harder rockin' Old Siam Sir.
#3 Wonderful Christmastime vs. ##14 Dance Tonight Dance Tonight. It's hard to get excited for Christmas in July.
#29 Ever Present Past vs. #20 Back Seat Of My Car I'll go with the underdog here. Ever Present Past. Back Seat belongs on Wild Life because it's too long.
#28 From A Lover To A Friend vs. #21 Tug Of War I've got to go with the art song. Tug of War. From a Lover to a Friend is a good song, just not perfect.
#6 Hope Of Deliverance vs. #11 Jenny Wren I'm a big fan of Hope of Deliverance.
#7 This One vs. #23 Stranglehold Stranglehold is a much better song for me. One of my favorites.
#8 Young Boy vs. #24 Figure Of Eight Some of these matches you just hate to pick a favorite. Young boy is the classic McCartney voice but I'll go with the bass-ier Figure of Eight.

1 Mull Of Kintyre vs. #16 Put It There Mull of Kintyre by a mile. #31 Oh Woman Oh Why vs. #18 Old Siam Sir Love the Egg. Old Siam Sir it is. #3 Wonderful Christmastime vs. ##14 Dance Tonight Christmastime for me. #29 Ever Present Past vs. #20 Back Seat Of My Car Easy. Ever Present Past is a song I never tire of. Love it. #28 From A Lover To A Friend vs. #21 Tug Of War Both bla to me. I'll give it to Tug. Lover always seemed unfinished to me. #6 Hope Of Deliverance vs. #11 Jenny Wren Very, very tough. I am a big fan of Off The Ground and I really like Deliverance but I feel that Wren has more of the classic feel to it. #7 This One vs. #23 Stranglehold Not a big fan of either, but Stranglehold never did it for me. #8 Young Boy vs. #24 Figure Of Eight Another tough one but I'll give it to Young Boy... love Steve Miller's solo.

#16 Put It There
#18 Old Siam Sir
#14 Dance Tonight
#20 Back Seat Of My Car
#21 Tug Of War
#6 Hope Of Deliverance
#7 This One
#8 Young Boy
#1 Mull Of Kintyre vs. #16 Put It There Easy for me, I never cared much for "Mull," and the latter came to mean so much more for me after I became a father.
#31 Oh Woman Oh Why vs. #18 Old Siam Sir Close one.
#3 Wonderful Christmastime vs. ##14 Dance Tonight Not that close
#29 Ever Present Past vs. #20 Back Seat Of My Car Closer than maybe it should be, I like "Ever Present Past" a lot.
#28 From A Lover To A Friend vs. #21 Tug Of War Easy
#6 Hope Of Deliverance vs. #11 Jenny Wren Easy-ish
#7 This One vs. #23 Stranglehold "This One" is probably my favorite of the 16 left standing.
#8 Young Boy vs. #24 Figure Of Eight Neither are great, but "Young Boy" is better.
