24 May 2013: it's... 1983

RR's clue: "Thriller" was released. Technically, very late '82.

But of course, little Miss "release dates are everything" gets it wrong yet again. Sheesh.

TOTHLN: Bowie.

Maybe she meant the single, which was released in '84.  Hence, she split the difference: '83!  ::)

I'd've sworn AL played this but it's apparently a bustout. BOSFRA.

Always enjoyed this song, but as a Dave-fave of the first order it's not something I've been missing.

And speaking of songs I haven't missed.

How long has it been since you heard this song? If it's more than 5 days I'd be shocked.
