So what won?
"Streets of Philadelphia" from Philadelphia
What would I have voted for?
"The Day I Fall in Love" from Beethoven's 2nd
How could I not choose a love song that has the words "roll over Beethoven, come play with me" in it? Oh, this song is awful. But awful in an early 90's, power ballad sort of way. I'm surprised it was taken seriously at all.
Analysis
The songs from Philadelphia are awkwardly sandwiched between Disney's domination. They're both such depressing songs, which I suspect fit the movie perfectly. I also discovered that I really liked the song from Poetic Justice, which is also very 90's and sickly sweet.
