Rob, Bob & Ginger all had very good sets, can our luck hold?
I like Adam Ant as long as we have to go to 1983.
If I asked you difficult questions,
Would you find that a risk to your health?
And would you put me up on the bookshelf?
With the books?
And the plants?

Rock of the 80s! Whaddaya want to bet we hear Cyndi Lauper?

I'm baffled as to why this song (one of AA's weaker efforts, IMHO) turns up as often as it does -- Dave's never played "Antmusic" in 1981, for example.

If only! GJWTHF is one Dave rarely plays; "She Bop" has actually turned up a few times.
ETA: and her LP came out in late '83, the singles all peaked in '84.

And while we're thinking of what we'd like to hear, I again submit Hall & Oates' Family Man.

Oh my yes.
or Shalamar's "Dead Giveaway". Having heard Judge play "Say say Say" yesterday, it occurs to me Dave's rarely if ever gone there.
-
BOS U2 "Seconds". I was listening to this with headphones the other day & for the first time noticed that when they do the "I wanna be an Airborne Ranger" bit, it's all on the left track & there's some other movie clip playing on the right track.

Dave's top 20 songs from 1983:
6 times:
After The Fire - Der Kommissar
So much for his claim to play ATF and Falco equally...
Oh noooooooooo! Katrinas at Work! amazing this one's not on the above list.
-
BOS #2, "It's A Mistake"
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie...
-

Hey now, the last (& I think only) time we heard this song was on my 40th B-day more than 3 years ago.
-

Falco shows up once each with "Der Kommissar" (auf Deutsch) & with "Rock Me Amadeus".
-
BOS #2, "It's A Mistake"

I normally recoil in horror at any Men at Work tune, but this one is not sounding so bad. Not gonna give it a BOS, but not gonna bitch either.

That's astounding and hard to believe.
BOS Simple Minds.
-
Another BOS for Simple Minds, "Promised You A Miracle", another tune that Dave has not played for quite some time.

No, but we've heard New Gold Dream a few times over the last 6 months, if I'm not mistaken. This was Simple Minds' peak, imo, before the ubiquity of Don't You Forget About Me a year or so later.

BOS Simple Minds.
"Down Under", "Who Can It Be Now?" & "Underground" are all HUGE Katrina's in 1982, so much so that Dave sometimes plays the first two in '83 sets.
But, astounding and hard to believe as this may sound, no other M@W song appears more than once in the Db. Until today.
-
I'm also astounded that this Prince tune isn't on that list -- it's one of Dave's faves by the Purple One. And a Narada for me, I don't ever remember hearing this on NYC radio.

WOS Martha Motel.

It seems to pop up annually, once each in '02, '04, '05 & now '06. Safe to say it may have shown up once in '03, but there's a big gap in the Db there.
ETA, pretty much the same is true for Big Country, although it gets more airplay in KFOG's regular rotation than it does from Dave.

BBGOS (Best Bagpipey Guitars of Set): Big Country.

BOS #3, Culture Club, my favorite song of theirs & a FANTASTIC backing vocal.

Then no Burning Sensation for you!
somewhere the sun is shining
on this world but not for me...
One of my favorite '80s one hit wonders.
