"The year of Milli Vanilli" per the promo.  I blame it on the rain.

Quality aside, it'd be awesome if "Blame It On The Rain" were included.

indeed, I was thinking (given the weather) that It'd be a fine TOTHK. Technically it was a hit in '89, however. Not that *that's* stopped songs from appearing before. (The LP is from '88)

OOPS:  opening didn't play.  Dead air followed by Icehouse, "Electric Blue".  Bit of an FF, no?

"Christine" -- not the strawberry girl, the other one.  House of Love. VHM.

Roseanne --> Brian Wilson with uber-BOS1. "Love & Mercy", in honor of his new biopic, presumably.

Would seem so. In any case, I love this song. His post-BBs high water mark. Not sure if it's a bustout but certainly a welcome rarity.
Let's get right to it.

it's made 2 prev appearances. If only we could say that about the Wilburys.

Hairspray -- the original! --> Chris Rea "Let's Dance". VHM.

PSBs, "Always On My Mind" -- nice, but far from rare at this point.  Maybe the closest we get to "Haaay!" today.

Dan Quayle is no Jack Kennedy --> boy, "Glad I'm Not a Kennedy" woulda been aces in this slot.  But no, we get Pixies, "Where is My Mind", which is officially an LN.

so, presumably we'll be closing with the Vanillis?
