AKA the '88 set from hell... are you trying to get a job as KFOG PD?

My pointless request:

If you were going by when the song charted, this would fit in 1989 (it was released in 1988).

I won't be able to listen to this live, so take notes! I wouldn't be surprised if AL finally plays Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly" today.

Yeah, she seemed to be hinting at that last nite, acknowledging that it's a song "always requested" for '88 sets. Apparently it's not in the KFOG library and she keeps forgetting to bring it in from home. Hard to believe the Bone doesn't have a copy on hand.

Oh, and it's "Bay Area Rescue Mission" fundraising day on KFOG. They're commercial-free for the duration.

ETA: I hoped that new song by The Griswolds was our last before 10@10 but we're being subjected to Corrective Soles first.

Jessica Rabbit --> Lita!!!  uber-BOS for a fantabulous bustout, and a perfect TOTHK.

[RGMike]

more Roger Rabbit --> Bangles "Hazy Shade of Winter".  Not rare at this point, but BOS2 to one of the great cover versions.

Enjoying the set so far very much.  I didn't know the Lita Ford song at all, but I can see why you were so intent on getting it played -- great effin' song!

[RGMike]

Heathers --> Peter Murphy, "Indigo Eyes". VHM.

[RGMike]

Robin Williams wakes up the space shuttle --> uber-LN1 "Under the Milky Way"

hit #12 in Billboard, and on my short list of great rock 45s of the '80s. And we got the uncensored ("didn't get laid") version. There was a radio edit with a different phrase ("didn't get a break") in that line.
