Guilty Displeasure: "I wanna Be a Cowboy".  Not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. "His name is Ted" -- that's supposed to be hilarious?

Boys Don't Cry is both the name of the group & my admonition to you guys.

"Ted, Oh Ted!"  (that part is what's supposed to be hilarious)

VHM Fixx "Secret Separation".

Sorry, but I think it got a pass from a lot of people who saw it as a Reagan/Cowboy political thing.  Which it ain't. It doesn't have a thought in its head.  (of course, neither did Reagan.)

ditto -- nice segue from the Reagan.

This Stevie Nicks "Can't Wait" is on its way to becoming a Katrina, no?

Oh it is pure cheese of the most vapid kind, no mistake.  Which is why you can't take it so seriously.  But it is a pure example of the Zeitgeist.  In my book '86 was like that from start to finish.

Sorry, but Stevie is leaving Boys Don't Cry in her dust in today's WOS competition.

Somehow, not being able to vote BOS via YM or email today is going to matter much, I think.

IIRC, last time Ginger played this she said that Prince is on the keyboards uncredited on this.  She said something like, "he just walked in, knocked out the keyboard part and left again".

ETA: and another nice segue from Reagan saying, "I will do whatever it takes to make it right again" into Stevie singing, "I Can't Wait".

Ditto on the unfotunate "I Can't Wait", though the segue after Ronnie saying he was going to set everything right was priceless.

This is almost turning into a Hits From Hell session, which, I'll repeat, is pretty much how I remember this year.

Now all we need is some Starship.
