The Rules for Battle: Each week, we pit versions of the same song by two different artists in a head-to-head death match for musical supremacy. (Sometimes it will be the original recording vs. a cover version; other times it will be two different covers.) Then it's up to you to decide: Listen to and vote on which version you think should emerge victorious and which should be sent packing. May the best band win!



The Song: 'Ready for the Floor'

The Contestants: Hot Chip vs. Duffy

In This Corner -- Hot Chip: Electro-pop at its finest, folks. Off of the Brit rockers' latest release, 'Made in the Dark,' this tune hit No. 6 on the U.K. charts and has been the cause of many a dance party in the states.

In This Corner -- Duffy: It takes some real cojones to cover an already killer song. And cojones she's got. The woman hailed as the "new Amy Winehouse" turned 'Ready for the Floor' into a breathy ballad at this year's Coachella festival. A little soul never hurt anyone. Right, Hot Chip?
