RESULTS: John and Paul Brackets

The votes are in and, for the second straight round in the John bracket, the top seeds all cruised to easy victories. Seeds one through four (I Am the Walrus, Happiness Is a Warm Gun, Hey Jude and Strawberry Fields Forever) outpolled their opponents by a combined ratio of 3:1 and are set to go head to head in what is sure to be an intense next round.

It was more of the same in the Paul bracket, too. Number nine seed Revolution failed to overthrow number one seed A Day in the Life, which, coupled with its 22-1 shellacking of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in round one, has beat all comers by a total of 34-2. There was one minor upset, though. In the match up between two of the three Beatles songs to feature exclamation points in their titles, number five seed Help! had just enough support to knock off number four seed Oh! Darling. Being for the Beneft of Mr. Kite!, however, had to remain content watching from the sidelines.
