1 Sep 2009: 1981!

[RGMike]

not sure what this is, but given the synth 80s sound, I think shray will BOS it.  I will too!

OMG -- it's OMD!

[radical347]

BOS2 to OMD.

[Gazoo]

hate to gripe, given the number of bustouts, but I don't need to hear "Rapture" again for a good long time.

but you do need to hear Fab Five Freddy get namechecked again, along with Grand Master Flash.  That never gets old.

"Francois se pas,
Flashe' no do"

VHM Chariots of Fire clip -- wish she'd played Vangelis. But OMD will suffice -- BOS4

BOS to OMD.  Wow!  This is quite Yaz-like - and I wouldn't mind hearing them to close.

For a Whopping 50 Frink points...the actor you just heard had a major role in what major 2009 movie?

oo! oo! I know! But I'll let someone else guess.

Me three! Although I'm as clueless as to the identity of the singer as you are. One more bustout though, safe to say.

[RGMike]

and speaking of movies: BOS5 H&O from 500 days of Summer What ah got -- full stop!

I will, fer sure.

And Annalisa is making my dreams come true in 1981.  Unlike the rest of you curmudgeons, I can't WOS anything in this set, as it covers the highlights of my dorm years in college.  Dorm dances for very single one of these songs.

Need to get out and see that one--but it's playing at only two theaters in all of Portland. Arrggghh.

Hmmm, could it be the guy who played Dumbledore?  Probably not since it sounds like he was already old in 1981.

[mshray]

as you might guess, I was the one who reminded Annalisa that TD wrote New Toy.

[mshray]

well if you know Chariots of Fire at all, you know that what you heard was the eulogy in the first scene that 'Harold Abrahams' gave for 'Eric Liddell', which means that the actor was Ben Cross, who played 'Sarek' in Star Trek this year.   It's a good thing that the movie involved time travel, as Cross is 16 years younger than his 'son' Nimoy.

Bonus question, What kind of car is a Barchetta?   (hint: it's not Canadian...)

some guy said "It's an italian made car" 
which is correct!  Analisa asked him to clarify: "ok, who makes it?"   The dude said "Fiat."
bzzzzzt! 

the answer is Ferrrari. 

the winner could choose b/w:
Soft Cell Tainted Love
David Lindley Crazy 'Bout a Mercury
but he chose Another Tricky Day by the Who.

Fiat does appear to be making a car called the Barchetta.

you're right.

But, per wikipedia, production started in 90 -- well after Geddy & Co. chimed in.  Still, the first dude should have gotten partial credit, like he could request half a song..
