Thanks to the series "Golden Girls", "Thank You For Being A Friend" is well known here in Austria, too. Besides that there was also the collaboration between Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, who had some radio hits especially as "Wax": "Right Between The Eyes" from the album "Magnetic Heaven", "Bridge To Your Heart" from the album "American English" and "Pictures Of Paris" from the album "A Hundred Thousand In Fresh Notes".

I'm glad Premiere didn't edit 'I wanna know what love is', despite its length.

Casey mentioned that 3 songs containing alcoholic beverages to hit #1 on this week's 1985 show. I can only think of 2 songs post 1985 to add to the AT40 list of spirits. We got "Red,Red,Wine" by UB40 that was aged from 1984 to hit #1 in 1988. In 1990, we finally got a whiskey product called "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles to add to the short list of AT40's #1 Spirits.

A couple of interesting coincidences: on February 2, 1985 Teena Marie debuted with "Lovergirl", and Casey noted that Billy Ocean's "Loverboy" was also in the countdown. Both became top 5 hits, and as we heard a few weeks ago they were back to back in the 1985 year end show, at 29 and 28.
Later Casey referred to Midnight Star's "Operator" as "dialing up a #1 hit on the soul chart". The same tease or intro could have been used for New Edition's "Mr. Telephone Man", which reached that position that week.
Another aside: in Casey's story leading into "Like a Virgin", he told of Madonna's encounter with a lion when filming the video and quoted her as saying that she thinks of herself as having qualities similar to a lion, and noted that her astrological sign is Leo. If Madonna's birthday were a week later she'd be a Virgo--which at least ties in well to that song.

At #12 (moving up 2) is "Lover Girl" and at #11 (moving down 6) is "Lover Boy".

Casey added some weeks later an alcoholic beverage song that went to #1 he left out called "Sherry" by the Four Seasons. And years later then AT40 host Shadoe Stevens added one more to the list: A song by Neil Diamond called "Cracklin' Rosie" (Is there such thing as a "Cracklin' Rosie" alcoholic drink?)

Neil was singing about a "store-bought woman" which was a bottle of Rosé wine. For effect Neil called it "Rosie" instead of the correct pronunciation of ROSE-AY. Interesting that many times when Casey said the name of the song he would say "CRACK-UH-LIN" adding a middle syllable to the two-syllable "Cracklin'."

For what it's worth, Michael Jackson was also born in August 1958 (8/29/58) -- pretty significant month in rock and roll (though MJ wasn't a Leo). Prince was born on 6/7/58...

Also, they were all born in the Midwest -- Madonna in Michigan, Michael in Indiana, and Prince in Minnesota. And, on AT40 for the weekend of 10/24/87, they made up the top three. "Bad" was #1, "Causing a Commotion" was #2, and "U Got the Look" was #3.

Prediction for next show:
2/14/87
I wrote a few pages back that a show dated February 14 was very likely so it's either 1981 or 1987. I'm going with 1987 since 1981 was featured as a 'B' more recently. And also this would set up 2/28/81 for air on Leap Day.
