Triva question for DYWMB:  It was the first #1 hit in many years to do...what? (musically speaking)
feature a male/female duet-as-conversation?
Don't know, but the next #1 after DYWMB was Jim Peterik's Survivor with "Eye of the Tiger"

nope.  further hint, it's in the instrumentation.

Even though this set was a bit more mellow than I would have liked for 1982, I'll give her that it had a nice flow.

Hmmm...didn't have any real instruments?  Only synths?

I'll buy that.  including synth drums..?  I think Love Will Keep Us Together was all synths, too.  Didn't that chart as #1?   (What about Gary Wright?  did he ever get to number one?)

yes, it was inserted right before Men at Work's Be Good, Johnny.

Here's a transcript (I couldn't find a YouTube vid of what I assume was a TV commercial):

"yeah you know, some guys my age.. man.. they forget about drinking milk ..  I don't know why.  Maybe they forget about how good milk is...?   Milk's great.  So don't you forget:  I'm drinking milk for good."

a mixed bag on the suggestion front (Loverboy? really? And yes, someone really asked for "Tainted Love", which we got last week on Chartbusters) but I heartily endorse lufaphs' request for Ray Parker's "The Other Woman".

TANC: Radio de Sebb plays Mr Parker's fab solo hit. Makes me wanna grab mah GIT-tah!
