The Japanese translation is "Unemployment Lock" is fun. I've seen Spanish translations quite a bit. Maybe the titles are translated to so the buyer understands the general theme.

Ella Trabaja Por Su Dinero. So in English, Donna Summer "works hard for the money" – but in Spanish, she doesn't work hard at all. She just works. 
Right! LOLElla Trabaja Por Su Dinero. So in English, Donna Summer "works hard for the money" – but in Spanish, she doesn't work hard at all. She just works.
It's a great show, with a gazillion episodes. I think most people here would enjoy it. I'm like, a friggin' YEAR behind on episodes.
I just finished the podcast and it was really good. I need to find some of Leee's newer music I'm really interested in seeing the documentary he's making too.
I agree that everyone here would enjoy the podcasts. I looked at the listings. There's a ton of interesting stuff there!
I think the best review I can give the podcast is that every time there's a guest where I'm thinking "this isn't my cup of tea" I still ALWAYS really enjoy the interview. I can't think of one where I went away thinking "well, that wasn't interesting at all".

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Here is some fun (and useless) trivia: St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) went to number one in the week ending September 7, 1985. The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis & The News fell from #1 to #2. Tina Turner's We Don't Need Another Hero rose from #4 to #3. This was the first time that each of the top three songs was from a motion picture – respectively, St. Elmo's Fire, Back To The Future and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

I love the story behind this song.
During the song, Joel audibly laughs after briefly hesitating and stuttering during one of the verses. At the prompting of Paul Simon and Christie Brinkley, who were listening in the studio, he decided to keep it in the finished song as it seemed to illustrate his point in the song about personal fallibility.

Good 9
Okay 7
Bad 24
37. I WONDER IF I TAKE YOU HOME - LISA LISA & CULT JAM
Thought this atrocity would never end.
32. THERE MUST BE AN ANGEL - EURYTHMICS
I like some of their songs. And Annie is a fantastic singer. But from the wailing at the beginning to the cheesiest synth sounds to the bad lyrics to the weird vocal melody, this was a dreadfully painful listen. Sorry if anyone else likes this one but I couldn't stand it!

These are the only surprises to me.
I thought Cheap Trick would have just broken 40, and Bon Jovi would have been closer to 20.
