let the Wanging of the Chung commence.

I don't have a problem with bands referring to themselves in their own songs (e.g. Steely Dan, Show Biz Kids) but this song takes it to the point of absurdity and in the process earns my WOS for the day.

Very much so. Dave played the Idol tune once per the Shraytabase, but I think AL's brought it out a time or two under her watch.  And everything else has multiple plays.

This set's kinda boring, and I'm sad to be reminded that "Big Time" et al are 25 years old.  TANC: I referenced that "big words" line on FB recently when Christiane Amanpour was derided for using a big word on TV.

Was this fairly recent? I tried wiking it to no avail.

It's scary that Nancy Grace is taken seriously by anybody. Actually she's just scary to look at period.

Her sister's my accounting professor...  :-X

I have to BOS Wang Chung because that was a Hits 106 fav. gold in the 90s and early 00's.  I like the PG, IP, and S tunes too but this set just settled down into kind of a "meh"-ness.  Of all Billy Idol singles, "To Be a Lover" is quite possibly his worst.  Dave played "Why Can't This Be Love?" alot.  Last week's 1985 was better.  It seemed like there was nothing holding this set together.
