Thanks for visiting the 80’s at 8 blog, updated daily with each day’s show content and the music videos for all the songs we played! If you know that only you and Smokey the Bear can prevent forest fires, if you've ever used the word "inconceivable!" and you still don't know what it means, if you ever fantasized about Elizabeth Shue taking you on your own Adventures in Babysitting, or if you're still wondering when Rodney Dangerfield is gonna get some respect, you are in the right place, this is the 80's at 8, brought to you by Saint Vincent’s Center For Bariatric Surgery, and we get today's show started with a song from 1980 it was the title track of The J. Geils Band’s 11th album, and was simply a rant against unrequited love… we’ve all been there! Here’s “Love Stinks”

From 1982 America “You Can Do Magic” If you know the next time someone asks you if you're a God you say yes!, if you miss the days when your mom stocked your freezer full of Flavor Ice, or if you ever wanted to be Laverne or Shirley just so you could date a hottie like Lenny or Squiggy, it is the 80's at 8, from 1985 Elton John “Nikita”

Here’s the answer to the 80’s timeline, in which year did the following things take place?

1) Natalie Wood drowned while yachting with husband Robert Wagner and actor Christopher Walken.

2) The Little House on the Prairie got a little bigger when Ma and Pa adopted a son played by Jason Bateman.

3) Indy wooed Animal House alum Karen Allen in Raiders of the Lost Ark, in 1981, and that year, Hall & Oates had a number 1 hit with this song, and three years later, Daryl Hall famously accused Eddie Van Halen of stealing parts of it for the song “Jump”, here’s “Kiss On My List”

From 1987 The Bangles “Hazy Shade Of Winter” If you want to be the one to walk in the sun, if you ever wanted to install a dumbwaiter in your house so you could be just like Webster, or if you've ever slid into a room in your skivvies and socks, this is the show for you, it is the 80's at 8, from 1989 Richard Marx “Right Here Waiting”

From 1985 Jan Hammer “Miami Vice Theme” If you laugh at people who think Wham's "Careless Whisper" is entitled "Never Gonna Dance Again", if you liked Tom Hanks better when he was a crossdresser, or if you ever wish Ferris were there to get you out of summer school, this is the show for you, it is the 80's at 8, from 1988 Cheap Trick “The Flame”

From 1982 Rick Springfield “Don’t Talk To Strangers” wrapping up the 80’s at 8 on the River 1059 Dr Noah Drake said that he wrote this song at a time when he was in New York taping General Hospital episodes and doing concerts on the weekends, and he was very concerned his wife was going to cheat on him. It worked, as they are still together to this day.
