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.

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