They had me tapping my toes and longing to ask some people how it feels to treat me like they do (I hope I got the words right; I don't remember hearing this song before).

So give my vote to Orkestra Obsolete. I can't say that I would choose to listen to them over and over again, but their version was at least more interesting. Besides anyone who includes a 'zither' (I own one of those, by the way) in their video has gotta win something.farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-75487648580548776282016-05-03T09:57:07.363-04:002016-05-03T09:57:07.363-04:00I vote for Orkestra Obsolete.

Was not a big fan of them, so I gave the second version a fair shot. That's not to say I didn't like it. Because I also don't want to go with New Order simply because I'm more familiar with it. Personally, the second version was a lot more creative. So I think I'm going to go with Orkestra Obsolete.<br />Great battle this time.
