[Vicky the Vole]

This could be the best final 2 songs ever!

 

[straightorbroken]

I think I Think We're Alone Now is valley girl pop nirvana.

 

[Halli]

I found that quite hard to choose.

 

[Devil]

I Think We’re Alone Now is good, but it just misses something to elevate it.

Heaven is one of the most joyous pop songs of all time.

 

[POP!]

And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you SAY
I think we're alone NOW
