VHM to "Safety Dance," which I don't think I've heard on a 10@10 in a very long time.  Only times I've heard it this decade AFAICR were at my friend Dan's New Year's Eve parties.

It was an "earworm" last year & it made the 2002 Turkey Day set, that it as far as the Db goes.

Except clearly not much "safety" involved.

Agree fully. Dave must have a thing for that Motels tune, 'cause it seems to pop up in the #10 slot a lot.

(OK, I just checked the DB--it's made 9 appearances, and been in the 10 hole for three of those.)
Let's get right to it.

Heard Powers do the bonus track question and he completely punted it. He said "Dave played a track by Men at Work during the set--where is that band from?" Of course he meant Men Without Hats, but that ain't what he said. And the first caller answered Australia and was told she was wrong. Which, based on the phrasing of the question, she wasn't. Finally they got someone to guess Quebec, which is where Men Without Hats are from, and he picked Def Leppard "Photograph" for the bonus.
