But this is why I don't go to this thread after posting my candidates and before listening to the VJ. I like waiting until the end of the countdown to see where I placed.

True Colors, written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, was a number-one hit for Cyndi Lauper in October 1986 and a #66 hit (and #2 adult contemporary hit) for Phil Collins in November 1998. The song has been recorded by more than 200 artists including Eva Cassidy, Lea Salonga, Kasey Chambers, Kate Rusby, Gerald Albright and Aztec Camera. A version by Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem is included on The Muppets Mayhem, a soundtrack album released May 10, 2023. (Singer/lead guitarist Janice is voiced by David Rudman, who also voices Scooter and Beaker. "Mee-mee-mee-meep!")
