I often wish 80's on 8 on SiriusXM, having all the time in the world to play 80's songs, would add more variety. The main time I listen anymore is during the top 40 countdown from a year in the 80's, simply to hear various songs they don't ordinarily play. For 1980, this would include some songs I've never actually heard. BUt after that, I'm hard to stump.
Then they did it...Missing Persons came on the radio, not with Destination Unknown (which I've heard a few times) but their other just-missed-the-top-40 song "Words" from 1982. Utterly unfamiliar...words, melody, all of it. It was released before I had MTV, and that left Casey's countdown or my local radio playlists. "Words" missed both.
I wonder if they'll surprise me again this year...
