Got into a discussion today with a lady at work. Which husband & wife group had the better song?

Sonny & Cher - I Got You Babe

Captain & Tenneille - Love Will Keep Us Together

 

[zamboni]

IMO, "I Got You Babe" is a better song, but I prefer to listen to "Love Will Keep Us Together" more.

 

[Mohawk]

I Got You Babe, and it's not even close.

 

[zed2283]

I Got You Babe, and it's not even close.

Love Will Keep Us Together hanging in so far.

 

[zamboni]

Love Will Keep Us Together hanging in so far.

I remember watching the Sonny and Cher show as a kid. They used to close with "I got you" so I have a kind of a sentimental attachment to it I guess.

Love Will Keep Us Together has a catchier ba boom to it.

 

[NCCommish]

Love will keep us together is really a cover anyway. Neil Sedaka wrote and recorded it in 73. I got you was written by Sonny.

And unfortunately it was also half sung by Sonny.

He was half of selling over 40 million records before he quit.

BTW not trying to run down the Capt and Toni. He was an accomplished musician and she had a heck of a voice. Love will keep us together was the biggest hit of that year IIRC.

You're right, I forgot all about that. Poll is still valid though.

man the seventies had a lot of really bad music it is sort of uncool if you are the seventies i bet the seventies was like really this is the crap that we are going to be remembered for hey luckily we also get bellbottoms and a lot of hair all over the place man we are the best actually i bet seventies was pretty ticked off about it all so hey there is what i have to say take that to the bank bromigos

 

[Brony]

pretty indifferent on this, so voted against the first "and it's not even close" mention.

This is the most 50/50, coin-flippiest poll I've participated in...

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Agreed.

"Love Will Keep Us Together" isn't a "cool" song but I liked it a lot then and still like in now ...in moderate doses (listen up 60s on 6 Sirius Radio).

Isn't that kind of like trying to decide between Rosanne Barr and Rosie O'Donnell?

Mind blown...

Looks like The Captain & Tenneille in a mild upset. Here are a couple more of their hits:

Do That To Me One More Time

Muskrat Love

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Had to vote I Got You Babe, simply for the Beavis & Butt-head version (which issuspiciously hard to find on YouTube)

 

[E Street Brat]

Which is the better song?

1. I Got You Babe (43 votes [46.74%])

Love Will Keep Us Together (49 votes [53.26%])

And the beating goes on

 

[jon_mx]

Seriously flawed poll. Too many people voting for wrong song.
