The worst part is, I now have a fondness for much of it, and that fondness is based purely on nostalgia. Ugh. Make it stop.

But we have "Jungle Love," by The Time! And all those Tears for Fears songs! (Which now sound like one big medley in my head.)

Alright. That's it. I need to get out my iPod and put on the Good 80s playlist. It's starting me off with Boomtown Rats. Looks good so far.

And all those Tears for Fears songs!

Everybody Wants To Rule The World. One of my automatic happy-making songs.

My experience is that it's the day after when the tetanus shot really gets you.

Ah, crap. I've been putting off getting one, for no real reason, and my work is high risk enough that I really need it.

I used to hate that song. Not sure why. Violently, though. Then they rerecorded it as Everybody Wants To Run The World for LiveAid, and it was played ad nauseam while we were running the world, and lo -- I love it.

Seriously? I thought that it was John Malkovich.

Malkovich plays her lover. Laurie is her husband who she totally blows off. It's all very Liaisons Dangereuses but I really liked that particular video, so I remember it very well.

I'll give you Jungle Love (which I'm surprised isn't on the '84 list, because I'm pretty sure Purple Rain came out during the summer of '84, but maybe the song spent most of its on-the-charts time during '85). I have many, many fond memories of that song. However, I think you've defeated yourself with your own argument on the Tears for Fears songs.

We did have some good songs. But overall, I look at the list and roll my eyes to it. Sadly, I think I recognize them all.

Jesse. Now Jerome.

Now I see House telling Annie, "Broken glass? I recommend razor blades: cleaner cuts, less annoying slivers."

Sorry. 80s Tourrettes.
