VHM to the Pac-Man opening.  If Dave actually plays "Pac-Man Fever" I'll be delighted.

I think we'll get some sort of novelty today -- either that, or "Shaddap You Face," or "Stars on 45."

PMF was '82, no?  I'm with Wayback -- some H&O would be swell. I don't think Mr Dolce's in the cards -- we heard it too recently.

And Wayback hits one on tune #2. At least it's not Winning.

Kim Carnes and Mr Springfield definitely, but Dave's not really that big on '80s-era Kool/Gang (I wish he were) and Sheena only makes Hits-From-Hell sets.

"Styx and Stones" -- LOL!

Stones are a likely call. I'm going to call out for Pretenders, XTC, and perhaps J. Geils. Not a stretch for any of those.

Whoa! Joan Armatrading is def. more of a rarity, altho not a bustout (one previous appearance, in 03).

Does this count as a novelty hit? Or just bad geography? (If you could get your car fixed for $80 you were doing well, even in 81.)
