Optional extras for the week: May 21, 1988:Hour #1: "When The Children Cry" - White Lion Hour #2: "Chains Of Love" - Erasure Hour #3: "In Your Room" - The Bangles Hour #4: "Never Tear Us Apart" - INXS Same as before. All are Shadoe/CT40 hits (from later 1988/early 1989) that aren't part of any chart Premiere normally plays. I hate “When The Children Cry” but love the other three extras. “In Your Room” is an underrated Bangles song IMO.

Casey gets Madonna’s age wrong and it wasn’t the first time. He was off by 2 years. He said Madonna was 24 when in 85 she was 26 (almost 27 born in 1958 just like Michael Jackson and Prince).
On another note I had no idea Belinda Carlisle sang backup on Don Henley’s “All She Wants To Do Is Dance”. Although I knew Martha Davis (of the Motels) and Patty Smyth of Scandal sang on that song as well. The things you learn listening to AT40.

In the 1984 show, there was an LDD from “Terry” to “Reese”. It was actually kind of sweet. Reese saw beyond Terry’s scars but when Casey ended the letter with “His favourite singer was Barry Manilow” I don’t know why but I burst out laughing. Hope things worked out for Terry but that’s a good reason to run for the hills.

In the 1983 show Casey said that Prince was 22, in 83 he would’ve been 24 (turning 25 that year, born in 1958 same as Madonna and Michael Jackson).
I wasn’t sure if it was just me or if the LDD from “Debbie” was incomplete. It seemed shorter than the usual LDD.
On another note, I enjoyed the amusing story about Daryl Hall and John Oates being stranded outside a restaurant. Imagine being the driver that picked up Hall and Oates. Hope the driver at least got free concert tickets or something.

In the 1987 show Casey mentions “Cassingles” (singles on Cassettes, remember those?). Boy that brings back memories. I think the first one I ever bought was “Vogue” by Madonna and my parents were not happy lol (Madonna was half naked of course).

I’ve always hated “Up Where We Belong” by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Just curious as to why. For me, Jennifer has always had a great voice, quite 'sexy' actually, on everything I've heard her sing. And Joe Cocker is, well, Joe Cocker! (I'm actually surprised the Joe's last name didn't get censored here) Lol I was expecting “Cocker” to be censored as well. I’ve never been able to pinpoint what bugs me about “Up Where We Belong”, maybe it’s Joe Cocker’s voice? (I know, I know he’s a legend) or it’s just that the song is so cheesy but this song is up there with “Endless Love” on terms of annoyance.

^^ As a HUGE Queen fan, I agree “Body Language” was one of their worst songs.

In the 1988 show Casey mentions that Belinda Carlisle had her first (and only) #1 with “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” and it looked like her follow up “I Get Weak” was going to go to #1 as well. Well it didn’t, it almost got to #1 but had to settle for peaking at #2.
