VHM Prince & Appollonia ("thank you"), "Take Me With U", Katrina tho' it may be -- being legal in 2 years sure does increase the airplay.

As Mike hinted, "Catch My Fall" is the title.  I've been hearing quite a bit of older Idol lately, and I was just told this weekend that some Eurodisco jokers have reworked "Dancing With Myself."

ETA: WOS to asshole Lou Reed, "I Love(s) You Suzanne."

Yup. He'd been around for some time before landing in sitcom-ville. He was great, pre-Raymond, on a short-lived show called "Pursuit of happiness", playing a big butch gay guy.

He'd certainly be big.  6' 8.5" according to IMDB. 

- He'd have an enormous schwanschtucker.

- It goes without saying.

- He's going to be very popular.

Point taken. But for me this is typical of the generic stuff AOR was awash in at the time; it's the reason alt/New Wave formats began to flourish.

I never liked his "Suzanne," but I'm still grousing b/c he went off on a journalist for asking an innocent question about money.  As someone in the field, I'm sympathetic.  This is discussed in one of the Stream of Consciousness threads, probably Print Media?

Dave and Irish Greg had a discussion about it recently on the Morning show -- Greg, iirc, hates it, and Dave defended it, and I remember thinking: "so play it on 10@10 already".

Pretty in Pink.  Apparently Kershaw's people turned John Hughes down. Idiots.

But Dave! Sam Harris isn't Latino! (or very butch)
