I always added lyrics to the "Game of Thrones" theme. "It's still going, the theme is still going, yes it's still going, you thought it was oh-ver..." None of my final votes won here, but The Promise is very deserving of the title! I forgot it also plays at the end of a Season 2 episode of one of my favorite shows (Sex Education), so maybe it has a whole new generation of fans!

I also wrote GoT lyrics of my own, but I can't share them here due to the morality clause in my 80s-est contract! 😂

(Hint: my lyrics were about the frequent full-frontal nudity in the show!)

And are we sure the old radio clips aren't being played fast? You guys couldn't have possible had voices that high in college. (Well maybe Keith did, since he went through puberty three weeks ago)

Just when I got those lyrics for Final Countdown out of my head you pushed them right back in...

Looking forward to the next season and telling everyone how they voted wrong.

I love how the episode started with lovely words about me then ended with a dig. Classic. And probably deserved.

I went back to the pilot episode to make sure the podcast was created to determine what is the 80s-est song. Song. Not songs. The plan was for the winner of side a to face off against the winner of side b. How did that not happen? Did I miss it. Is this a post I will regret as it reveals my ignorance? It feels like the question was asked “who shot JR?” And you answered that it was Kristen Shepard and then several months later you said no was Sue Ellen. Are you going to tell me this entire season was a dream and there is no 80s-est song after all? I feel unsettled. Maybe next season you can open Al Capone’s vault after 68 episodes. 🤣

Love the show.

Wanted to let The Promise bask in its victory before putting it directly into battle! 😂

I suppose it deserves a rest. I apologize for questioning your expert use of that 80s-est cliffhanger.

You caught me! I was going to open up Season 3 with this matchup! 😂

BUSTED!

Each decade part now has a representative chosen by our listeners, Take on Me vs The Promise will kick off next season!

Thanks, mate! Mildly embarrassing to reveal the 35-year-old archives, but hey, it's real shit! 😂

What's could be more embarrassing than my singing! 😂 --Keith
