TOTHK, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. The video for this raised the bar.
HM to (I'm a Real) Wild One. I know this song, but not who does it.
"A new heavyweight champeen, Michael Tyson!"  
Smithereens, Blood And Roses. A real rock and roll dirge bass line.
You must not be quite awake yet, Tink!  That was "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel, followed by Iggy Pop "Real Wild Child."  Then the Smithereens, regular suburban Jersey guys who got a taste of rock&roll fame for a few years.  In 1990 Robert Cray recorded a radio public service announcement that I wrote (along with a few other celebs) that aired on Calif radio stations that year; I still have the uncut audio of those sessions.  VHM Pretenders and Bangles!   Now, Everybody Wang Chung...

Anyone else think this perky beat is like Walking on Sunshine?

not sure about that, but AL certainly mixed and matched the beat straight into the Bangles' Walk Like An Egypt-ee-an

The Bangles' Greatest Hits should be a part of every pop fan's collection.

I'm off to work; later!
Agreed.  Have a good one!

Agreed - funny that for a band that only had three albums, they seemed to have a long career.

BOS REM.  AL's certainly in a poppy jangly guitar mood today.

Saw him a few years ago at Neil's Bridge School show, on bill with David Bowie.  Billy's infectious charm stole the show.
