20 Mar 2013: it's... 1982
« on: March 20, 2013, 07:56:04 AM »
Thought I heard a  promo saying something about the Saturn (the car) which debuted in '85 -- this would be the 2nd '85 set in less than a month, but then it's DC's sweet-spot, year-wise.

ETA: 1982

Renee appears to be confused (shocker, I know). The CD player she named in the teaser I heard (Sony CDP-101) came out in 82, as CJ cited, and Mike was right that the Saturn debuted in '85. So maybe '83? '84?  Guess we will find out at 10:04.
Let's get right to it.

Clue from Tim: year North Carolina won the NCAA men's basketball tournament - 1982 it is.

TOTHK MJ Billie Jean

which is only marginally from '82 (Thriller a very late-year release; the single peaked in '83).  VHM, but a pretty obvious choice from this LP.

The only single from that album that would make the 1982 cut would have been the lead off single "The Girl Is Mine".

ETA: She could have chosen one of the two album cuts that weren't singles: "Baby Be Mine" or "The Lady In My Life" (but how likely would that happen?)
