MID-WEEK MAILBAG: Rapid-fire topics that don't involve He Who Must Not Be Named

And I always disagree with you in the Good Girls Don't vs. My Sharona sweepstakes.
To be fair, Sharona radio version (edited lead-guitar segment), it's close to 50-50. Full version, it jumps to 80-20.
Top 50 doesn't count as a hit. The Sun Always Shines on TV was only popular for a short time because Take on Me was so popular. Also, I can still replay almost the entire Take on Me video in my head. I can't say that I've even seen the Sun Always Shines on TV video. A-ha may have had two hits but, as time has passed, they really only have one that's stood up. I guess, technically, Top 20, probably does count as a hit. However, if I were to go to an A-ha concert, I'd rather hear Take on Me on a loop than listen to any of their other music.
Man, I thought I was the only one that did that.
Jack: Hey, Bob! Hey, your p@nis looks great today.
Bob: Thanks, Jack. Yours too.
Ted: Hey, Bob.
Bob: Hey, Ted. How’s your p@nis?
Ted: Not bad.
Bob: Good. Hey, I’d like you guys to meet Doug.
Jack: Hey, Doug.
Doug: Hey, guys.
Jack: Hey, pretty small p@nis there, Doug.

I guess I just don't remember my Crowded House very well. Nobody will ever say there's something so strong as my memory.
I have definitely heard “Sun” on some 80s mix stations that my wife enjoys.
How should we regard their long and successful career overseas, though?
I agree their American success has been very limited, but they’re one of the more popular artists of the past few decades in certain markets in Europe and still going strong.
Most one-hit wonders are long dead by now, or their current incarnation has very little continuity with the original band’s outing.
That is not the case with A-ha.
I'll admit it. I heard the Sun song on one of the 80's stations recently. You make a compelling argument using facts. Mine is based upon conjecture and feel. Although I might consider the Europe argument as an alternative fact. It's a different place and I'm not sure it counts since most people in Europe still live in castles or mud huts.
No.

They had 5 top 20 hits in the UK and neither of the two above are in that bunch.
Actually Neil Finn is now a part of Fleetwood Mac.
I do know, recognize and acknowledge those songs as hits but this Neil Finn/Fleetwood Mac thing is completely new to me.
Also former Heartbreaker Mike Campbell (no relation to CMC).

I wholeheartedly believe I do not look like that guy. @cyhiphopp was on bath salts when he said that.
Yep. Both of their last names start with Fi. They're practically the same person.
I got into a heck of a fight with a ton of people on here when I rated the 1980s as my least favorite decade for music between 1940 and 2000.
Do not tick off Depeche Mode fans.
Bring it on. Music is my greatest passion. I'll squash these Yuppy dreams.
