As you well know, if you were cruising in my Maxima or Intrepid, you were listening to various versions -long, live, and/or bootleg- of all kinds of one hit 70′s and 80′s tunes. I hate Katrina for taking my 7 Seconds skate/punk band cover of Nena’s 99 Luftballoons (Yes I had the German and American versions too), the extended remix of Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus, and some kind of live version of King Harvest’s Dancin in the Moonlight (just try not to belt out the refrain when driving by yourself).

Some people actually go for the pizza and yeast rolls on the buffet, so put a couple of Hair Band Air Guitar specials in the steam tray. Talk Dirty to Me by Poison and Here I go Again by Whitesnake (if only to segue to Tawny Kittaen’s debut on TBS Nightracks and ultimately to her beating up that Angels pitcher).

Nicely done. Mony Mony….I had repressed those memories I think.

Every buffet has to have a salad/appetizer section – something to get you started. Light, not too filling, but sometimes tasty. A few 80s one-hit wonders will fit in nicely with the slaw, carrot sticks and macaroni salad: Whip It by Devo, Tainted Love by Soft Cell, Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners, Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Perfect Way by Scritti Politti (if for no other reason than because I like saying the name of the band). JBE’s observation about G-L-O-R-I-A is right on. I would have to add Mony Mony to that section of the buffet. I dare say that I don’t know a single 30 or 40-something that hasn’t danced while yelling at the top of his or her lungs “Hey! Hey what? Get laid, ….”?! Dessert has always been my favorite part of any meal, so I have to add my all-time favorite closer to the buffet – Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett.
