I don't pay close attention to these; does he always play "#1 this week" as Tune #10?

Yeesh: WOS Skid Row featuring the then-homophobic Sebastian Bach -- who later went into musical theater. Oh, irony.

But uber-BOS2 Kon Kan's fantabulous "I Beg Your Pardon".

"Do you want to hustle?
Do you want to salsa?"

VHM  Karyn White, shamelessly imitating Janet Jackson, Jodi Watley and Paula Abdul simultaneously.

I haven't heard that Karyn White since the year it came out.  Interesting how thoroughly forgotten she's become.

Most dated sound of the second half of the '80s: that cross between a screech of brakes, a scratch of a record, and fake brass.  What on earth is that?

Second most dated, btw, is the VROOM that kicked off "How Will I Know" and a bunch of other singles of its period.
