Done and done.

What's up with someone's Hootie request?  Did she mean The Hooters?  I'm confused.  Both equally as gastly, nonetheless.

I requested some Strawberry Switchblade.  One of my fave band names ever.

No Gerry Rafferty possible in '85, I'm assuming.

I seconded someone's picks: Teena Marie Lovergirl and Scritti Politti's Perfect Way, but I'd take anything from Cupid And Psyche 85

ETA: oooh, also wanted to add that Los Hooter's All You Zombies has surprised us (on at least one occasion) as being a decent song.  I think a few of us were conditioned to think less of it, but it kinda rocks. Holy Moses, seriously!

I thought the band names were the gastly part, but now that you mention it...   ;)

Ha -- Hooters didn't occur to me, you may be right. I was trying to imagine what she thought she saw in the pic of LiveAid that AL posted. Maybe she thought it was Woodstock 25?

And tho' "Perfect Way' is a onetime Moreytrina, it's been awhile (tho' I'd REALLY love "Wood Beez").

ETA: Damn -- can't recall the last time so many people seconded a request!  Love the guy who asked for Loverboy, Springsteen and REO Speedwagon and said, "well, the REO is a bit of a guilty pleasure". And Loverboy ISN"T??

Has AL played "Perfect Way" yet? Yeah, Dave did kind of overplay it.

And seriously, "LOvergirl" has been requested enough times that I think it’s almost an obligation.

Regarding Loverboy & REO Speedwagon – speaking as somebody who was 15 that year, I can see how somebody could think of Loverboy’s “Lovin’ Every Minute Of It” as a hipster doofus track while “Can’t Fight This Feeling” earns the guilty pleasure distinction. REO was on the downside of their career then whereas Loverboy was still in the crest.

I thought this was old hat, but just in case there are those among us who don't know why the Hooters are called the Hooters:
Quote from: Wikipedia
They took their name from a nickname for the melodica, a type of keyboard harmonica which is German in origin and made by Hohner.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

I've always thought that "Things Can Only Get Better" would be a good leadoff song.
