FB-ers say this is the Mighty Lemon Drops -- NTM.  VHMFRA at very least.
Orange Crush -> Mighty Lemon Drops = sweet

Gawd, not Midnight Oil. 

how can we dance when 10@10 is burning?

"how can it be permissible to compromise my principles"  -- appropriate, no?

BOS: Mighty Lemon Drops, They Might Be Giants
WOS: Travelin' Wilburys. Seriously, stop it. I was bored by this song in '88 and it hasn't aged well.
Welcome Bustout: Proclaimers

and in an attempt to be positive I'd also point out that (despite crappy year selection) this was the first week in a while where AL solicited requests 4 days in a row.

BOS MLD
VHM TMBG
--------------
While it was nice to hear a non-500-Miles Proclaimers song...after hearing "I'm On My Way," I see why they're a one hit wonder.  :-\  It sounded like a poor man's Men @ Work.  I think AL has played one of their other songs once before though, not sure if it was this one or a different one.
3-6 were uninteresting.
I don't mind Beds are Burning either, but the Dead Heart would have been better.
I mind Orange Crush more, but  :D @ that into the Mighty Lemon Drops.

listening to Sat morning replay and they played 1988 twice.

damn, I guess they really ARE serious about playing more 80s.

yeesh, sheesh and cheese-Louise.  The Saturday marathon is no longer on my radar as of this week, and the PM replay is on a case-by-case basis (the only show I listened to twice this week was '67).

And it seems we've settled into the marathon beiing run in Mon-thru-Fri order all the time instead of switching things up from week to week.

agree.   

interesting note on the song from Wikipedia:

"The Dead Heart is a song by Australian rock band Midnight Oil. It was first released as a single in Australia in 1986 and in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1988 after it had been included on the 1987 album, Diesel and Dust. It peaked at number four on the Australian singles chart and at number eleven on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks"

it really did get around!
