20 - "Take Me Home Tonight" - Eddie Money
Just like Ronnie say ...
19- "Radio Radio" - Elvis Costello
Even better on SNL. He wasn't supposed to play this. He did anyway.
18 - "New Song" - Howard Jones
Somehow this got airplay on MTV before it was included on an album.
17 - "Goody Two Shoes" - Adam and the Ants
Ever notice the physical resemblance between Adam Ant and Billy Crystal? SOMEBODY has to think about this stuff.
16 - "Mexican Radio" - Wall of Voodoo
One of the cool things about the eighties is that material like this was considered commercially viable.
15 - "Sexcrime (1984)" - The Eurythymics
Another track from a movie soundtrack.
14 - "Holy Diver" - Dio
My favorite fact about Ronnie (different Ronnie than in #20 up there) is that he used to front a band called Elf. Be funnier if the band was called Hobbit or something, but it is still pretty funny.
13 - "She Blinded Me With Science" - Thomas Dolby
Science!
12 - "Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)" - Icicle Works
Originally titled "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)", but the record company that released it felt that was too confusing and reversed it.
11 - "Goodbye To You" - Scandal
Patty Smith (no, not Patti. Different person) has a really nice voice.
And with that we say goodbye to day two ...
