Episode 76: Catch You on the Dark Side
09/01/20 • 34 min
Episode 76: It's time for one of Joe's favorite segments: Coming Around Again! Spoiler alert: Eddie and the Cruisers was not a real band!! "On the Dark Side" was a huge hit in the 80's, but not the first time it was released! You can thank HBO and VHS for the resurgence. And you'll never guess who was behind the success of "No One is to Blame" (but okay you may have known that the tireless Phil Collins had something to do with it). // Just a Bit Outside: Two LEGENDS had some early-80s flops on the chart, so it's time to give these tunes their due! A flame-haired powerhouse and a suave James Bond-type found themselves on the bottom half of the Hot 100, but don't worry, Grammy Awards and Pepsi ads await!!

Friend of the podcast Valerie predicted "Jessie's Girl" would be our number one choice, was she right? Or will it be "Born in the USA" ... oh wait, that's a song by Bruce Springsteen! Our bad. // Know Your Karis: Not too many 80's artists named Kari (Our apologies to Tony Carey), so here's a look at those 80's hits with the name Kari in the title (even if it's spelled the "wrong" way)
