Love Canal ---> Talking Heads "Crosseyed And Painless"


BOS. You can count this as a dance tune if you like.

Different Strokes  "whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?" --> English Beat, "Mirror inna Bafroom". I'll LN this one, tho', just to keep up my crankypants cred.

OMFG: Ms Ronstadt's cover of "Girls talk" -- our bustout/rarity, methinks. BOS5.

holy sheeeet. I fell madly in love with Linda because of this song -- even though it's anemic compared to Dave Edmunds and Elvis' version.

Elvis was famously critical of her take but it probably made him a lot more money than his and Edmunds' versions combined.  I'd've preferred she followed it with some actual Costello instead of this NRBQ Moreytrina.

Pontiac car commercial --> "Cars". Oy, seriously? Way obvious segue and one of the uber-uber-LNs of 1980.
