Apparently, someone has made the executive decision that all the radios at work will be on the 80's station. Before, the one at chart assembly was always K-lite and the other one got flipped around all the time, but mostly Z100. Now, 80's all day on both radios. I'm honestly not complaining. Some of it is really crappy, but they play some good stuff too. I think they played four songs by The Police today, not that I mind. Especially "Don't Stand So Close To Me" which I realize is probably meant to be kinda creepy, but I really like it anyway.

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

And then there's U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday. Another song about an unfortunate subject that I really like.

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

Figure that crap out, eh?

Shit those are some of my favorites from the 80's. I have Don't stand so Close to Me on a 45. It's NOT the version on the Singles CD. It's the original great one. Sunday Bloody Sunday is my favorite U2 song. What do I hate on that station? Too much of Pat Benatar, John Mellencamp, and other tired material. It's the River for me. I mean the station.

LOL I knew you meant the station.

The version they played of Don't Stand So Close to Me is the one on the record. My parents have the album it's on, and it's the first song, yeay. The last time I housesat I listened to it so damn often...

My dad has that Police album on vinyl. Last time I house-sat, back in August, I played it over and over--it's the first song on the record.

My parents were not U2 fans, so they don't have any. Are they nuts?!?! U2 is one of the best things to come from the 80's.
