An imminent attack upon my heart I fear! Lene Lovich, "Lucky Number", BOS for another song that's not on Dave's radar.

I don't know the song that follows but I guarantee Urth would love it.  Sounds like a Nick Lowe production.

from the LP Fresh Fish Special. I'd forgotten that.  Is that anything like "fish and finger pie"?

I like how Rob's recap overlapped our discussion in at least three specifics.

the "Enzio Pinza" line was stolen from NY DJ Dan Ingram; he always referenced Mr Pinza (an Italian singer who starred in South Pacific) whenever he played the Searchers version of "Needles". Rob undoubtedly grew up hearing Ingram do that line.
