In the Battle of the Sexes, Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets.

You could do your own little battle of the sexes: put the girls in the middle and call a bunch of stuff, and then put the boys in the middle. Encourage a competitive attitude. Or maybe have men form one square and women form another square.

Performed by The Ames Brothers.

There was a square dance version of this song (Lou Mac 151).
