Echo And The Bunnymen were part of the music round of trivia the other night. Theme? Military Alphabet. Didn't get that.

U2 "Sweetest Thing"

Yep, it was the B-side of something, but I definitely think "1998" when I hear this.

Seriously? I totally think of '98 on this one too. Had no idea it was a retread from 87.
Let's get right to it.

E for Echo (like C for Charlie)
Slipping into something
And out of something else

Yep. The set led with Cake's "Alpha Beta Parking Lot".

Ironically, the theme came about after various complaints about previous themes being too obvious (i.e. "All Star" the day of the All Star Game).

Egad, this might be a less necessary choice than "Don't Dream It's Over".

Well, ok, but this is like playing Springsteen to placate Snipeland.

I don't get it.

Granted, "You Gotta Fite" probably hasn't been played as much as it seems, but just seems kind of token. Probably just me.
