2 December 2009: mystery year (1985)

"How Soon Is Now?" is kinda obvious though.

How Soon I s Now is kinda obvious thouhg.

indeed. '85 came up in a "classic" when AL was sick; she's been on fire lately, so I hope that continues today.

[RGMike]

BOS Smiths, of course. A big "feh" to "Radioactive". I'll be the judge of whether you're "not unattractive", dude.

Is "distractive" even a word?

I never "want" to like this Radioactive song, but when Paul Young Rodgers sings the refrain, it wins me over.

BOS2 to Human League Animotion!

ooo! BOS2 Animotion, capturing me like a butterfly, a wild butterfly.

I think you be meanin' Paul Rodgers, eh?  And these guys do sound just like Human League.

He's not bad looking, imho.  Certainly better-looking than Jimmy Page or Chris Slade

yes, I did.  The dude from Free and BadCo.  oh man, I need some coffee...

for the record, I like Paul Young's voice, too.

"I want her to... aerobicize!"

BOS3 "Weird Science"

[urth]

Believe it or not, Obsession has more appearances in the DB than the Smiths tune--two to one, to be specific.

VHM Weird Science. The movie, not the song.

I didn't think we'd be in agreement on this, but an empahtic ditto.  Best cheese of the decade!

Oooh, Boingo!!!  BOS #3!

[Gazoo]

"How Soon Is Now?" is kinda obvious though.

Except that when the first few notes came on, my first thought was, "Soho's 'Hippychick' was '88, I think."

no, 1990.  I remember it from when I lived in Santa Barbara & checked to confirm.  It peaked at #14 that year.

And the only Oingo Boingo that Dave ever played in a year-specific set was this song, twice.  "Dead Man's Party" never showed up outside of the Halloween Spooktacular.

Oh you kids today!

("Hippychick" was actually 1990, BTW)
