Your “Give it Up” Monday Night Open Thread

Tonight’s open thread is brought to you by the Las Vegas Raiders defense when trying to stop their opponent from converting a 3rd and 14.

Last week the Dr. Mrs. and I took a road trip up to exciting Dixon, California for a work project of mine.  In the past I’ve loaded up a bunch of Popdose Conceptual Theater mixtapes, but she finds these too dull and in order to prevent her from falling asleep at the wheel (actually less of a danger when she’s driving because she thinks cruise control is a tool of the devil) I hunted for a collection of 80’s music.  And man did I find it.  800 songs, and barely a single dud in the bunch.  Here’s a look at the first ten songs:

1. Bruce Springsteen – Dancing in the Dark
2. Tears for Fears – Everybody Wants to Rule the World
3. A-Ha – Take On Me
4. Kim Carnes – Bette Davis Eyes
5. The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry
6. Daryl Hall & John Oates – You Make My Dreams (Come True)
7. Simple Minds – Don’t You (Forget About Me)
8. Blondie – Call Me
9. Bronski Beat – Smalltown Boy
10. INXS – Need You Tonight

It truly was the most jet-powered, monkey-navigated collection of music I’ve ever encountered for something this size.  We haven’t even made it halfway through it.  Anyhow, to the point of the post’s title, here’s a song that popped up about 300 songs deep that hadn’t heard in ages and knocked that stupid fucking WHOPPER WHOPPER DOUBLE WHOPPER ad jingle out of my brain, and for that I will be eternally grateful to K.C. and The Sunshine Band.  Have fun in the comments, folks!
