Let me throw a few more out there...

[speedy]

Other early MTV stuff -- "Salt In My Tears" by Martin Briley and "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" by Todd Rundgren. And of course "Safety Dance" and "Our House."

I just forwarded those four Dave Barry columns to my office partner, and read them along with him. We damn near died of Overlaugh!

OK, I've got two that will haunt you for the rest of the day (please forgive me):

Brand New Key - Melanie

I Have a Nickel - some bratty little child singer and an adult accomplice.
