The original was a pleasantly forgettable acoustic driven song about teenagers (or something) sung by, judging by the music video, shaved down monkeys in baggy clothing who may or may not be cross eyed.

ROUND 1:
Adam Brand is off to an aggressive start, dictating the tempo of the fight with his splashing drums and smooth slide guitar. Pastel Vespa is on the backfoot already and has to play catch up.

OH! Adam is caught by a deceptive combo by Pastel, Pastel skipped the first chorus and cruised straight into a Bossa Nova Brazillian accented second verse that Adam didn't see coming.

Thats the bell, despite the slow start Pastel Vespa ended strongly with that chorus skip combo although Adam may still be up on points.

ROUND 2:
Adam sticks the basics for the breakdown, voice guitar and a trace of drums, solid. He gets a yellow card and a warning for replacing Iron Maiden with Willie Nelson in the lyrics. The referee misses Pastel Vespa doing the same illegal move, this time replacing Iron Maiden with Pastel Vespa, Brand is visibly upset.

Brand ramps up the aggression, takes a tired Pastel down and cleanly pulls off his patented "Country Twist" submission move.

Adam Brand wins via submission.

Adam Brand: 7/10
Pastel Vespa: 6/10
