In the February 13, 1988 program, Casey told a story about Tiffany (as a country singer), Richard Marx (as a commercial jingle artist), and Bruce Springsteen's frustrating chart record.
Maybe I should've gone with my original clue, "In this show, Casey sings!"
Maybe you thought these amounted to outright confirmation, but others might think it one case of genuine confusion and one case of how the clue could work for another show. No confirmation was given in either of those.

I noticed on the cue sheets for 2/13/1988, there was only one LDD on the entire episode, and we were in the top ten when it happened. There was an "extra" of "Cupid" by Sam Cooke, but I wonder if it was played in commemoration of Valentine's Day that weekend?
And what does the "TX" beside "Cupid" mean on the cue sheets?

So...back off. OK?
Pete clarified his clue and said that he maybe should've gone with his original clue instead to avoid confusion. He did this to confirm that it is still the show which will air.

In some years, LDDs would have "TX: LDD:", though that obviously didn't last. So, in later years, like this one, "TX:" signifies a non-LDD Extra.
As to the Valentine's Day thing, that could be why they had the idea to put the song in there as an Extra, but I imagine we'll hear a different story about it. Or who knows, maybe Casey will have a Cupid story to mark Valentine's Day!
Aah. I forgot about Tiffany being a country singer previously.
That clue was really a stumper.
Recently, she released a country album and recorded a country version of I Think We're Alone Now (though it's not on the album).
I haven't heard the country remake of "I Think We're Alone Now," but I am sure Tiffany did a great job on it.
Funny thing is, it's always going to be her synth original that sticks with me ... and I'm a country guy. I swear, I heard this song all the time when I rode the school bus to school. (Yep, when I was a sophomore in high school, when this'n was a hit, I still rode the bus. I drove not long after that.) And it stuck with me.
Don't know why.
And for some funny reason, I think with all due respect to Tommy James, Tiffany outdoes him by a mile on "I Think We're Alone Now." Don't get me wrong – I like Tommy's later hits, like "Crimson and Clover" and "Draggin' the Line," but after hearing Tiffany do her cover version, she's got the definitive, IMO!

I saw Tiffany and Debbie Gibson on their tour in 2011, Tiffany stole the show. She really can sing, she did quite a few songs off her country album, and sang them really well.
Meanwhile, Debbie while keeping her great looks, couldn't hold a candle to Tiffany when it came to vocals. Debbie screached and couldn't hold her notes, unfortunately.
Youtube the show, you'll be surprised. Back in the day, I think Debbie had the edge. But today, there's no question that Tiffany is the better singer.

I agree with you.
And I'll go one further even though I'm sure I'll be in the minority with this one: I think the Bangles version of "Hazy Shade Of Winter" is far and beyond better than Simon & Garfunkel's version. Also, Kim Wilde's "You Keep Me Hanging On" is the best verson I have ever heard, superior to The Supremes and Phil Collins.

Hey, what about Vanilla Fudge? Nothing like an H-D-H/Supremes song done up full-blown psychedelia-style! ;D Trivia quiz: What's the Vanilla Fudge/Rod Stewart connection?
