15 Feb 2012: a "classic" from... 1985

[RGMike]

even with reruns, urth's prediction came true.  Apparently started out with Huey -- "Back in Time" instead of "Power of Love", but still.  I'll stick with WDAS, thankyaverramuch.

at first notes, I thought this Sister Are Doing it.... was going to be a Grace Jones tune.

Now that would probably be a ATBB, and a welcome one at that!
