    Cheap Sunglasses! Dammit! That drove me nuts all day. My wife started to get annoyed at me playing that clip over and over and over, muttering to myself. I should have had The Rolling Stones too.

    I was just glad I wasn’t the only one who guessed Discipline for that King Crimson song. And I can not believe I screwed up the Police song, especially since I just watched the reunion concert on PBS this week.

    Hey, you didn’t give me credit for You Better Run (or Frame by Frame, but I understand if you’re not allowing follow-up corrections).

    Cris: corrections are fine, but i thought you were saying you didn’t want those counted because you went and looked them up. my bad! i’ve updated your points.
