Good 12
Okay 11
Bad 17
30: SOMEBODY’S OUT THERE - TRIUMPH
Didn't sound familiar at all, but I said the same thing three years ago. Still think it's not bad.
13: THE RAIN – ORAN “JUICE” JONES
That's right, silly rabbit
Trix are made for kids, don't you know that?
You without me like cornflake without the milk!
12: WORD UP - CAMEO
My son: "Oh this is that song with the weird voice"
My wife: "Great, this will stuck in my head all day now"
10: ALL CRIED OUT – LISA LISA & CULT JAM WITH FULL FORCE
5: HUMAN – THE HUMAN LEAGUE
My guess
1: TRUE COLORS – CYNDI LAUPER
The other two guessed this. As soon as I saw they'd guessed it, I knew I'd lost.
Will never get into the top 40

#44 Howard Jones "You Know I Love You Don't You"

Don't yell or hit.
Kenny Loggins co-wrote Playing With The Boys with Starship producer Peter Wolf. The song is heard during the beach volleyball scene in the 1986 Tom Cruise movie Top Gun. In 2021, Loggins recorded a new version of the song – we're playing with the girls now – with Australian singer/songwriter/guitarist Butterfl;y Boucher. Yes, that's her real name.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
No surprises.
This is the cut they put on their greatest hits album. It is a completely fucked up version. There was no reason to do this. What's worse, it deprived fans from the real version on the greatest hits album (until they invented iTunes that is). I am not surprised it never made the top 40 as it sucked.

No surprises, other than:
I'm surprised this charted. I liked the album, but didn't think this one got any airplay.

I started thinking – I do that sometimes – about Abracadabra. I'm wondering how many other song titles have at least five A's and no other vowel. Here are two:
Earl Brown's 1958 single Pachalafaka, which failed to chart, and the Blendells' La La La La La, which reached #62 on the Hot 100 in October 1964,
