#TWIT 80s- Ep. #11 - 2nd week of November. Is a certain #1 song from this week in 1985 really the "Worst Song Ever?". PLUS - the "bright" side of Prince's death, the 1982 stiff by an A-lister that inspired a long-running toothpaste ad campaign. We'll tackle all that and 82 other hits & stiffs that peaked in popularity this week in the 80s. Thanks for listening. Please share, subscribe, review & leave comments. #TWIT80s.

#TWIT80s - Ep. 10: What do AC/DC, Little River Band, Grandmaster Flash, Def Leppard, a "Star Search" vocal champ, New Kids On The Block and... "Burt Reynolds?!?!"... have in common? They all had songs that peaked in popularity "This Week In The 80s". PLUS - An Oscar winning #1 duet featuring a woman one of my elementary school teachers thought was (ahem) "unattractive", the song Michael Jackson DIDN'T rip-off from Donna Summer, (despite what Quincy Jones says!), the Debbie Harry solo flop that Jermaine Jackson DID (appear to) rip-off and... the final 80's chart entry for the greatest singles act (host/author's opinion) of the 1980s - Daryl Hall & John Oates .

#TWIT80s - Ep. 8/October Week 4: A 1983 flop is brought back to life this week in 1984 all due to the Power Of HBO! PLUS - Was early MTV really "racist" or just.... rock? The nearly forgotten top 10 Bruce Springsteen hit that bumped "Pink Cadillac" off the "Born In The USA" album, the 1986 stiff referenced in the Dead Milkmen's MTV classic, "Punk Rock Girl". Your patience is appreciated as the host is 2 days away from root canal surgery. Plenty of cheese to go with his whine in this almost-as-hard-to-endure-AS-oral-surgery episode of "This Week In The 80s". Please share, like, subscribe & review. Thanks for listening!
