I just phoned Dave to ask if he'd seen the "Literal a-ha" video.  He hadn't so I sent him the link.
Cool.  I enjoyed it.

Song number four was by The Replacements, methinks...  anyone know what it was..


I think it must have been "Bastards of Young", I only heard a snippet before my player crapped out, but pretty sure it wasn't "Kiss Me on the Bus", which is the only MOrey candidate for '85.

ETA:  Actually it was "Swingin' Party" which is most likely an ABB.  Kudos to Dave!

One ABB in an otherwise crappy set is a hollow victory. (Sorry, non-functioning players bring out the crankypants)

VHM for the ad medley, and LOL at earlier clip of Reagan presenting Michael Jackson an award citing his role model behavior!

oh man, do you remember the McD LT?  How the big innovation was to keep the tomato and lettuce in s SEPARATE section of the styrofoam container?

The JCM appears to be a bustout also, and now here's Dire Straits "Ride Across the River" which has only been heard thrice (& not for a couple yrs).  So I think the sucky tunes in this set are merely indicative of how sucky 1985 was generally - imho.

Definitely.  So we can pretty much blame Mickey D's for the hole in the ozone.

Brothers in Arms was pretty much the best thing about 85, and most of the decade, for that matter.

And here in '85, John Cougar Boyscoutcamp is tellin us we gotta stand for something, or we'll fall for anything. Now this is a bit of a rarity.
a lyric later ripped off by country hunk Aaron Tippin -- the guy who just teamed up with "Joe the Plumber" to get Mr Plumber a record deal. 
Then they'll set up a duet of Mr Plumber with Mr Clean ;)

Ha! Olbermann suggested JTP be hired to play Mr Clean in commercials.  Too bad The Shield is ending its run; he could be Michael Chiklis' stunt double.

I'd argue for Scarecrow myself, and if the JCM was indeed a bustout, then kudos to Dave.
