Stump the Panel

So I'm in the car, coming home from a disappointing night in Boston, and we're listening to "Back to the 80s Friday Night". And with me in the car are two other certified 80s buffs. And TWO songs come on that totally flummox all three of us; we can't identify them at all.

This is bad; someday I'll be on Jeopardy, and 80s music will be a category, and I'll confidently wager the whole quesadilla on a Daily Double, and now I just don't know if I'll hit it. It kinda shakes my faith in everything.

For the record, the two songs were: "Ain't Even Done With The Night" by John Cougar Mellencamp (we correctly guessed Mellencamp, but none of us knew the song), and "So Alive" by Love and Rockets. (I guessed Men Without Hats, for God's sake.)

There's a lot of work to be done.

Man, I was only 7 at the time, and I still remember 'So Alive.' In fact, I think I have that on cassette single somewhere. Those fellas really liked long legs, as I recall.

Everybody look at your hands
