The word 'or' seems to have disqualified a hit from the list of songs with a time in their title. "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago is referring to two times not just one which appeared to be the basis of the question. I think they aired a correction sometime later to include "25 or 6 to 4" after listeners wrote in.

While “I Hear You Knocking” by Dave Edmunds was #4 this week, Casey mentioned that the song was #1 at one of AT40’s affiliates, WQXT in West Palm Beach, Florida. Nothing like a little coast-to-coast recognition to keep stations happy. "Stray Cat Strut", which was #4 this week in 1983, was produced by Dave Edmunds.

"25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago is referring to two times not just one which appeared to be the basis of the question. One of the more bizarre trivial notes is part of the chart for this week's show. "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Hungry Like the Wolf" are in their third of 10 consecutive weeks being back to back. Even "Physical" and "Waiting For a Girl Like You" did not accomplish that feat. And no other pair of hits accomplished that feat in the first run of AT40. “25 or 6 To 4” by Chicago was the one I immediately thought of with a specific time in the title. “3AM” by Matchbox 20 is another one I thought of.

Another post 1982 song with a time mention is "3 AM Eternal" by KLF.

And for honorable mention, there was a song that never made the R&R CHR top 40 (used for Casey's Top 40 and Rick Dees Weekly Top 40) that I remember hearing on former 1989-1993 CT40 affiliate station WBBM B-96 Chicago in 1997 by Sabelle called "One 'O Clock In The Morning": www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTF_kdl-kAgAnd a bonus dance version of this same song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJc-DanOGig

"That Was Then,This Is Now" was likely played as a tribute to Peter Tork who had passed away a few weeks earlier.

WWIS just chopped off the last part of hour 1. Most of Prince, all of BJ and Survivor. Hour 2 started about 10 min early as a result.

In subsequent occasions telling that same story about Madonna, Casey reveals who that French disco star was and it was Patrick Hernandez who had "Born to be Alive". Which also puts a time stamp on Madonna's time in Paris...1979. Only 2 hits in the countdown for her instead of the 3 that Melanie had in the 70s show. Madonna will have 3 songs in the top 40 on the R&R chart twice in 1985. On the 5/4/85 chart, it will be "Crazy for You", "Material Girl" and "Angel". And then on the 6/15/85 chart she will have "Angel", "Into the Groove" and "Crazy For You" in the top 40.

"Into the Groove" did not chart on the 'Hot 100'. It was the B-side of 'Angel', as I recall.
