Dropping the needle in this episode of Behind The Vinyl: Ivan Doroschuk of Men Without Hats explains how their song “Safety Dance” became a hit thanks to dance clubs and a certain dance called “Pogoing”. Barry Harris and Kevin Wynne of Kon Kan share their memories about the song “I Beg Your Pardon” and the many challenges involved with making a hit song. We close the episode with a very charismatic Dennis DeYoung of Styx reminiscing about “Babe” and how it was never meant to be a Styx song, but rather a gift to his wife.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 85: Forgotten 80s II - The Eighties Strike Back (Fiction Factory, Vince Clarke &amp; Paul Quinn, Kon Kan, The Ocean Blue)   Another busy summer is already underway for Brian and Sarah, so they decided to do a second volume of a listener-suggested idea from last year: Forgotten 80s songs. (Thanks again for the idea, Charles Cotham!)  Each host selected two songs that may have faded from-- or never even made it to-- people's memories, and the ensuing discussion for each song covers the typical topics such as release history, chart positions, and videos.  Also in this episode, Brian shocks Sarah by professing his love of a particular childhood game, Brian sings the praises of a particular on-line music subscription service that he recently discovered, and both Brian and Sarah are happy to have the opportunity to discuss their recent front-row attendance at an Ocean Blue concert, where not only was the "forgotten 80s" song played, but also songs from their fantastic just-released new album.

Forgotten 80s II - The Eighties Strike Back (Fiction Factory, Vince Clarke & Paul Quinn, Kon Kan, The Ocean Blue)

This week it's a duo from Canada who jumped into the sampling craze of the late 1980s and then tried a few different things that really didn't work for them in the 1990s. Do you want to hustle? Do you want to salsa?
