Our last '88 visit was 2 months ago, an it was an "encore" from last August:

Quote
1.  Rick Astley- Never Gonna Give You Up
   2.  R.E.M.- Pop Song '89
(News: VP Debate "You're no Jack Kennedy..")
   3.  The Pixies- Where Is My Mind
   4.  The Smithereens- Only a Memory
(News: Dan Quayle "the future will be better tomorrow")
   5.  Neil Young & The Blue Notes- Ten Men Working
   6.  U2/BB King- When Love Comes to Town
(Movie: A Fish Called Wanda- "Speak to me in Italian..yes! yes!")
   7.  Sinead O'Connor- I Want Your Hands On Me
(Movie: Working Girl "I have a head for business and a bod for sin")
   8.  Morrissey- Every Day Is Like Sunday
(News: American hostages in Syria)
   9.  Leonard Cohen- Everybody Knows
(TV: SNL- The Church Lady)
 10.  Bobby McFerrin- Don't Worry Be Happy (B.O.S!)

If we manage to avoid all of these that will be a victory.

"Are you a Heather?" --> no, a Sinead. or a "Mandinka". A well-worn TOTHK to start.

is a Mandinka the female equivalent of a Mandingo?

The first two were, I believe, released on album in 1987, so AL may be thumbing her nose at the dude on FB who was needlessly nitpicking the dates of a couple of requests and a song played on the air the other day.

I requested Erasure, but the other big single from this album. Oh well. This is a great song, too, and made for a clever segue from the previous political clip.

The consensus at my college radio station, where I dj'ed in the late '80's, hated the pop side of college rock. I guess I went along most of the time, but I always liked this song.

Most definitely. Props to the good captain for requesting this.

There's a cover by a country act whose name escapes me which is also fantastic. Or maybe Fairground Attraction's version is the cover.
