Any Way You Want It:
Journey vs. The Dave Clark Five
Pat votes Journey. Gary thinks hates America because he thinks the DC5 were the USAs answer to the British Invasion. His theory falls flat when we learn that they were from a little town called London, England. This earns Gary a
Fun Fact: The DC5 version is the last song performed by the Ramones.
Kiss also did a version of the song.
Winner: Journey

Before discussion could begin, Aerosmith, Gnarles Barkley and Peter Wolf rushed the ring! For Gary, Patsy Kline reminds him of all the faux rockabily girls he used to work with, so he's voting for
