Doc: Your file says you’ve got a degree from NYU. What in?
Dalton: Philosophy.
Doc: Any particular discipline?
Dalton: No. Not really. Man’s search for faith. That sort of shit.
Doc: Come up with any answers?
Dalton: Not too many.
Doc: How’s a guy like you end up a bouncer?
Dalton: Just lucky I guess.
Happy 59th Birthday to Kelly Lynch!!!

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to this week’s Top 40 Countdown! If you missed the previous songs, you can go back and check out songs 
We start the top 10 with one of the most iconic sax riffs of the ’80s. This is one of the few Wham! songs co-written by Andrew Ridgeley (the other member of Wham!, kids).
One of the most patriotic songs ever. Right President Reagan. Only if you consider a song about how Vietnam veterans were mistreated, to be patriotic. Oops.
One of my favorite Pat Benatar songs. It was the lead single off of her Tropico album and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Awesome song. Crazy-ass video.
Lead single from one of my favorite albums, Reckless.
What do you get when you combine one of the most successful musicians of the ’80s with a lead singer of Earth, Wind & Fire? Pure perfection.
Great ballad that would be one of Foreigner’s signature songs.
Classic Chicago ballad, made memorable by the fake Madonna and fake Billy Idol in the video.
General Hospital knew how to churn out the musicians!Landing at #2 isn’t too shabby for a soap opera actor!
Madonna was at the top of her game here as one of the biggest ’80s icons.
I love the Pointer Sisters! If this song doesn’t get you pumped and moving, you have no soul.
It’s kind of chilling how much Julian sounds like his father, vocally.
A downside of being Michael’s brother is that songs like this get overlooked.
A downside of having a hit called “Ghostbusters” is that songs like this get overlooked.
This was a huge hit for Billy Ocean. It peaked at #2, and was kept out of the top spot by “Careless Whisper”.
A boy band that I can tolerate!
And the hits keep on coming from the Purple Rain soundtrack. Further proof that this was one of the most iconic albums of the ’80s.
Or does Billboard not know that it isn’t Christmas anymore? Or that it is 340 days til Christmas at this point in 1985? It doesn’t matter. I still love this song anyway.
Billboard really had their seasons screwed up! It’s not Christmas anymore (see last song), and this deep freeze we’re in now tells me that we are nowhere near summer either! Wishful thinking, I guess.
Meh. I prefer Plant teamed with Paige.
” by Neil Diamond from the album 
(1982)
Oh-we-oh-we-oh! Great start today, as we get our funk on, riding high with Morris Day and The Time from Purple Rain.
One of my favorite starts of any song. Chaka, Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Khan
Great song by one of the greatest singers of all time. Boring video.
Back to some Funk to get us moving! This was Midnight Star’s only top 40 hit.
Power ballad and big hair. Perfect ’80s combination!
Solid. Solid as a rock. That’s what this song is.
If you like Bob Seger, you’ll like this song. If you don’t like Bob Seger, it’s understandable that you don’t like this song.
This song from The Woman in Red may have flown by you as the airwaves were being flooded with “I Just Called to Say I Love You”.
Classic song by the best duo of the ’80s.
Do I have to spell it out for you? Hall & Oates are so soulful that T-H-E-Y C-A-N S-P-E-L-L T-H-R-O-U-G-H T-H-E E-N-T-I-R-E S-O-N-G A-N-D I-T W-I-L-L S-T-I-L-L S-O-U-N-D G-O-O-D.
