I hope you're kidding...both about her ability to sing and her ability to be awesome about all things.

And we forgot that dean of Blue-Eyed Soul, Daryl Hall. And the little guy with the moustache who stood next to him in the videos.

Come on, everyone. "Private Eyes!" (clap) "Are Watching You!" (clap clap)

Don't think we can. Has to be actually performed by the singers themselves.

Which one is gone? Milli I think. Sad.

Cutting Crew

"Died in your Arms..."

And how about the old chestnuts that charted again in the 1980s, thanks to being used in movies:

"Twist and Shout" (Ferris Bueller)
"Unchained Melody" (Ghost)

And the Monkees, of course, who had a top 20 with that crappy song "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere." Not that I went to their reunion concert or anything.

Three times.

Shut up; I thought Peter Tork was cute.
