On this week's countdown from 1/30/88,Casey read a QL (Question Letter) from a listener who wanted to know if any top forty hits later became the themes for TV shows-The answers were "Primrose Lane" from "The Smith Family","Rock Around The Clock" which was the original theme from "Happy Days","My Life" from "Bosom Buddies",& "Runaway" from "Crime Story"-However,the "AT40" research team missed one:"Thank You For Being A Friend" from "The Golden Girls".

Maybe it was skipped because it wasn’t Andrew Gold’s version. But the version of “My Life” used in Bosom Buddies wasn’t performed by Billy Joel. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the 1/30/88 show Casey reported on the fastest and scariest rollercoasters, tied into “Tunnel of Love” which used rollercoaster sound effects. The champion mentioned was the Texas Cyclone at Six Flags Astroworld in Houston; neither the ride nor the park exists any longer. But the qualities ascribed to that ride have likely been exceeded many times since by newer coasters.

Crime Story had lasted for two seasons (1986-1988) now available on pluto on demand and tubitv for free.
Some other notes from Jan 30, 1988: David Lee Roth story a story about John Mellencamp cover album David Coverdale story, as Deep Purple broke up Candles in the Wind played original album 1973 version, instead of live A sad story about #1 song which was Teen Angel as snippet Laura Branigan - I Found Someone peaked #90 in 1986, as mentioned crime story tv (it aired at that time 1988, later lasted two seasons), theme snippet: Del Shannon - Runaway from 1961 what snippet was 1959? snippet 1974 bill hailey, theme happy days (debuted 1974) snippet billy joel my life: 1979, bosom buddies 1980 Errors: Casey said will you still love me peaked #3 in 1986, actually it charted late Dec 1986, and peaked early 1987. Safety dance he said 1982? maybe im hearing wrong soft jingles: father figure, faith, shes like the wind (later in 2007 remake by Lumidee), i live for your love, i want be your man fleetwood mac, slowest #1 album 76 2 australian acts: Icehouse and INXS listed top 3 rollercosters: 3 monster in montreal, 2 the beat king island ohio, six flags houston TX; as due to tunnel of love bruce springsteen based from roller coasters heard in beginning top 10 concerts successful #10 The Beatles, #9 Alabama, #8 Boston, #7 Huey Lewis, #6 Whitney Houston, #5 David Bowie, #4 Grateful Dead, #3 Pink Floyd, #2 Bon Jovi, #1 U2 5 Australian acts hit #1 were Helen Reddy, Rick Springfield, Air Supply, Men at Work, and INXS

1959 snippet was “Primrose Lane” by Jerry Wallace
I’m guessing that the criteria for Australian artists that hit #1 was those that were born and raised or formed there. That would exclude The Bee Gees and Olivia Newton-John, who were born in Britain and moved to Australia later. Incidentally, Casey misstated the title of Air Supply’s #1 hit as “The One That I Love”.

"My Life" was the first season theme for Bosum Buddies, for Season 2 a different theme song sung by Stephanie Mills was used.

I predict 2/16/85 for the weekend of February 10. 2/16/1985 was last played in 2021, maybe 2/9/1985 would be perfect for the Feb. 10, 2024 weekend.

2021 is probably the latest a show can have last been played as an A or standalone and replayed as such this year. (2022-23 A’s would probably only be replayed as B’s if at all.).
But it would probably generally be preferable to replay shows that haven’t been aired in longer, though the usual rules against repeating years too soon or shows played less than three years ago mean that some 2021 A’s may be replayed for both decades.

Great story about the working class guy on John Mellencamp’s album cover for “The Lonesome Jubilee”. I always figured it was just some actor they hired or John Mellencamp’s dad or something, but apparently it’s just a regular guy from Elnora Indiana. The man, Woody Baker, died in 2009 had 15 children and 86 (!) grandchildren. Imagine their Christmases. Yes I did a deep dive into this guys life. Thank you Google.

The Cyclone may be ancient history but apparently the other Roller Coasters Casey mentioned still exist, “The Monster” in Montréal and The Beast. I’ll take a pass on both.

Coney Island Amusement Park in New York City Long Island still has its own Cyclone Roller Coaster.
