Merry Christmas from everyone at The 80s-est! We’re filling your stocking with songs from the back half of the Movie Region. You might find Berlin under your tree, with the 3-seed “Take My Breath Away” from Top Gun as it battles against 6-seed “Who’s Johnny” by El Debarge from the classic Short Circuit. Or you might unwrap Tim Capello with “I Still Believe,” his sax-tastic 7-seed from Lost Boys going up against 15-seed “The Glory of Love” from Karate Kid II and sung by legend Peter Cetera. Give it a listen, as you put yourself into an eggnog coma. And Happy Holidays!
