Battle of the "Pacific Grove" songs

America's Last Hometown has a song battle going on and we are divided at The Herald which anthem is better.

Pacific Grove, where it is illegal to kill a butterfly (and apparently stay open past 6 p.m.), is the subject of songs by Julie Capili and Matt Costa.

Capili recently hit it big with "Butterfly Town," an insanely catchy tune with a new video financed by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce (see the story in today's Herald).

But, local radio station KRML has been playing a song by Costa for a while now that I think it really swell.

Here is Costa's:




Here is Capili's:



Or, rather than argue over which song is better, we could just support both artists who were inspired by Pacific Grove.

Here are their websites:
