Cameron:
That was Thomas Dolby, that was a fun song.

Oh yeah, Cyndi Lauper, can't forget about her.

And the Culture Club too.

Now I am remembering a lot more...

Men at Work
The Cars

The Pretenders-another great band

The B-52's, awesome too.

MaineWriter:
Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles (I think)

Who sang "Turning Japanese"?

Cameron:
It was the Bangles, forgot about them.

I can hear Turning Japanese, it was my friends favorite song, but I can't remember right now.
I won't cheat and look it up.

And Mexican Radio, another song my friend liked, can'r remember now either.

Oh oh oh, Mexican Radio, haven't thought of that one in years!

How about Rio, by Duran Duran. I can hear that one playing...

I loved Robert Palmer. Damned fine dresser.

Let us in on the debate...I remember the rumor it was about masturbation, myself. Steely Dan also has the "shine in your Japan" line in Bodhisattva which iI heard might be a similar reference.

And Robert Palmer, yes.
