The Guide to Emotion 98.3!

Were you expecting some distracting ASCII art?
Let's just get to the good stuff already! :3

But first, a word from our sponsor, the virtual attorney.

This is the script and lyrics to Emotion 98.3, as played in Grand Theft Auto:
Vice City Stories. Words considered explicit have been dashed out, as they are
in much lower concentration than my Flash FM guide.

Grand Theft Auto, Emotion 98.3 and so on are registered trademarks of Rockstar
Games, and their use here is solely for information and entertainment purposes.
This guide may not be reproduced IN ANY PORTION OR FORM WHATSOEVER, on any other
website or publication apart from GameFAQs, NeoSeeker, HonestGamers and Super
Cheats without the author's EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION. Such permission can only
be attained by contacting the author at the E-mail address mentioned in the
E-Mail Policy Section.

I will also NOT provide free links to these songs as you can easily get them for
free on P2P. Though if you really like an artist you'll do the right-right thing
and use cash to get it.

"I used to hate myself for what happened. Now, I merely hate myself. That's
     progress. I've worked my way through three whole words." - Lionel Makepeace

I've been feeling really lonely as of late. Really. Maybe it's because as an
80's man that was born after the indulgent part of the decade (i.e. during the
Ollie North scandal) I've felt alienated by a society that's starting to become
all militant-lovey. That's not right. Or maybe because I was picked on in school
a lot and when I tried to fight back, they blamed it on me. But spare me the
pity, this guide is about the music for which you can hold your own pity parties
for one.

Like true love, or the ideal orgasm, most of these artists didn't last long, but
those who survived became legends in their own right. So it's great to know that
there's someone that shared your situation, before you move on or put yourself
out of your own misery or worse, turn emo.

This was Emotion 98.3. Enjoy the sounds of true despair. D:

Spoken lines are
FORMATTED: Like This,

While lines sung in commercials by different people are
(Formatted)
like this!

However, parentheses are also used in lyrics to
denote that someone else's lyrics (are being sung) as part of the same verse.

Actions during radio and commercialsare also
(bordered in parentheses), but don't have anything starting directly underneath.

Actions by the radio station that interrupt the song are
((bordered with double parentheses.)) On the contrary, (Begin Music)
marks the points where the following song begins during gaps in the dialogue.

You'll also see a divider such as this:
--------------------------------------------------o0o-
which technically marks the end of a song's lyrics or commercial's script.
This is not to confusedly mix in too much dialogue with the part of the song
you will not hear in-game anyway.

((RD)) in particular stands for "Resume Dialogue," marking the point
where the DJs or other voices take over.

IMAGING: You and Emotion 98.3, together...(ominous whisper) FOREVER....

(Begin Music)
                            +----------------------------------+
LIONEL: This... is Emotion. | [The] Motels - "Only the Lonely" | [MOOL]
                            +----------------------------------+

[This song from their 1982 album All Four One made it up to #9 on the Billboard
 Hot 100. The band would also release another top 10 single, "Suddenly Last
 Summer" off their album Little Robbers the following year. Tension that had
 already started to build up between band members and their manager as they
 launched Little Robbers would lead to the band's dissolution in February 1987.]

We walked...the loneliest mile,
We smile...without any style,
We kiss altogether on, no intention....
We lie about each other's strengths,
We live without each other thinking what anyone would do, 
Without me and you...

It's like I told you,
Only the lonely can play,

So hold on, here we go,
Hold on, to nothin' we know,
I feel so lonely... way up here...
You mention the time we were together, so long ago,
Well I don't remember, all I know is it makes me feel good now....

It's like I told you,
Only the lonely can play,
Only the lonely, only the lonely can play...

(Instrumental)

Only the lonely, only the lonely can play,
It's like I told you, Only the lonely can play,
Only the lonely, only the lonely...can play...((RD))

L: Lionel Makepeace here on Emotion, imagining a better world. A world where men
   and women understand each other perfectly. Where the only reason to quarrel
   is to make up, and where broken hearts can always be mended...even mine.

           +--------------------------+
   This is | 10cc - "I'm Not In Love" | [10NL]
           +--------------------------+

[This song from 1975 was what lured Mercury Records to sign 10cc for a then
 whopping US$1,000,000. It also hit #1 in the UK. The track itself was the
 result of excessive sampling and overdubbing, resulting in the "choir" of the
 band members you hear in the background, for starters. The "big boys don't cry"
 line was spoken by Kathy Warren, the receptionist of UK Records, whom 10cc was
 working for at the time.

 The single would receive a Top 10 cover by Will to Power in 1991, and a #1
 Dance Music/Club remix by Olive in 2000. 10cc as you knew them from this song
 would split up in 1976, though several reunions have met with limited success.]

 Big boys don't cry. I know I don't. Not right now, anyway.]

I'm not in love, so don't forget it,
It's just a silly phase I'm going through,
And just because, I call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you got it made,
I'm not in love, no no,
It's because...

I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me,
So if I call you, don't make a fuss,
Don't tell your friends about the two of us,
I'm not in love, no no,
It's because...

(Instrumental)

Be quiet, big boys don't cry,

Big boys don't cry, (repeat 7x to voice fade)

I keep your picture, up on the wall,
It hides a nasty stain, just lyin' there,
So don't you ask me, to give it back,
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me...
I'm not in love, no no,
It's because...

Ooh, you wait a long time for me,
Ooh, you wait a long time...
Ooh, you wait a long time for me, ((RD))
Ooh, you wait a long time...

I'm not in love, so don't forget it,
It's just a silly phase I'm going through,
And just because, I call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you got it made,
I'm not in love, no no,
It's because...

L: Love makes the world go 'round, it really does. Nudie pictures do too. My
   cousin's a physicist, and he says it's centrifugal gravitational pull, but he
   sleeps with prostitutes. I did once, but we fell in love, until she broke my
   heart. I'm in a confessional mood. Tell that someone you love them. Tell
   them, "I love them." Ask them to "love me." Let's take a break. Stay
   emotional, stay hormonal.

I: The soundtrack for break-ups, therapy, or, just quietly weeping in a corner.

  Mallet to a Maibatsu II   [M2AM]
+                         +
[Whod've thought back then that the Honda Accord would go on to make 21 of
 25 Car & Driver 10Best Lists, and the Toyota Camry would someday become Motor
 Trend's Car of the Year, while the only thing we would remember the Big Three
 for in a positive way are the token muscle cars they use as excuses for
 patriotic tirades to distract us from their (insert expletive adjective here
 build quality for the rest of their cars? Who'd have thought that those
 scrappy-yet-adorable little imports would become the youth's cars of choice, or
 that several of the more famous models are now being built in the more
 fanatically patriotic parts of America?

 I did. ): Or rather, I would've if I were alive and conscious in '84...

 Version I and further commentary on both Mallet to a Maibatsu commercials can
 be found in my guide to Flash FM.]

(Patriotic music)

WORKER: My name is uh...Sam Hall. I worked at American Motors for 22 years. Now,
        (sobs) I'm a jobless divorc�e.

TEENAGER: My daddy's name is David Adams. He got laid off from American Motors.
          Then he got drunk and killed mommy!

ANNOUNCER: Staying free is about more than going into record debt, making
           weapons that could liquidize the world, or financing the overthrow of
           Central American countries. It's about the little things you can do
           everyday to help. But these days there's a new menace.

(music turns ominous)

JAP: (Japanese strings play during speech) Hello, lazy Americans! Your American
     cars are terrible! Soon, all Americans buy Japanese cars, ha ha ha! You on
     food stamps now!

L: This is Emotion. You ready to harden something? Try your heart.

+----------------------------------+
| Quarterflash - "Harden My Heart" | [QHMH]
+----------------------------------+
[Putting the hit in Quarterflash's one-hit(-album) wonder, from their self
 titled debut album in 1980. "Harden My Heart" reached #3 on the Hot 100 and
 topped the Mainstream Rock charts. Their subsequent albums, released in 1983
 and 1985, did not nearly achieve as much success and the band broke up after
 being dropped from their record label.]

Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain,
I swear I'll never ever wait again,
You gave me your word, words for you are lies,
Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go...oh...
But it's time to let you know, oh,

(Chorus)
I'm gonna harden my heart,
I'm gonna swallow my tears,
I'm gonna turn and leave you here...

All of my life I've been waiting in the rain,
I've been waiting for a feeling, that never ever came,
It feels so close, but always disappears...
Darlin' in your wildest dreams, you never had it good...
But it's time you got the news,

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go...oh...
But it's time to let you know, oh,

I'm gonna harden my heart,
I'm gonna swallow my tears,
I'm gonna harden my heart,

   our hand, and look at it in disgust. I'm talking about the Emotion Frequent
   Crier Card. Get it punched at any family planning clinic or AmmuNation. Guns
   and crying, they go together.
   
   Right now, to prove how much our sales team thinks of keeping our listeners,
   here's Fernando at Doggy-Style Pets.

[NOTE: It's not censored because it's the name of the place. Go figure.]

(sound of animals in background)

FERNANDO: Thanks Lionel, joo really are sounding like the estrogen is taking
          over! I, am Fernando Martinez. Right now, I broadcast live from 
          Doggy-Style Pet Store. When I get emotional, I get a puppy, Lionel.
          And when I feel better I say, "Fernando, joo don't need a puppy
          anymore. Joo need a woman, with big hips, that bear the child that
          will someday rise up against joo, and FIGHT joo to the death." So I
          throw the puppy away, and take the wench by the hair.

L: Fernando, what the hell are you talking about?

F: I am talking about the jungle, Lionel, about being the king of the jungle,
   like a kitten that is half-off when you stop at the Doggy-Style Pet Store,
   Downtown. Maybe joo need to move some y--o. A puppy is perfect. Or maybe joo
   are slow, like your mom was exposed to DDT, and joo like a pet turtle. They
   have lots of turtles here! Fernando...likes guinea pigs. But I date an
   Italian girl, and she no' like it. And plus, they don' taste like real pig.
   My mouth is all furry. Is' like the '60s all over again. The women, they are
   so hairy. They don' believe in shaving! Come see us here, Fernando will find
   you something to cuddle with. "I guarantee it."� Let's play a powerful track.

L: (frustrated) That is MY line.

L: Ready to "Make Believe?" It's Toto.

PHIL COLLINS: Hi, it's Phil Collins here, and when I'm in Vice City and want to
              listen to some power ballads about crying alone in a wind tunnel,
              I listen to Emotion.

+-----------------------+
| Toto - "Make Believe" | [TTMB]
+-----------------------+
[Hot off Toto's six-Grammy-winning album TOTO IV comes this #30 single. The same
 album would also spawn the #1 hit "Africa," which Fernando would play during
 his tenure as Emotion 98.3. Unlike most of the bands featured on this station,
 Toto would get through worse - such as the death of a band member in 1992 - to
 continued success, including another Grammy nomination in 1999, and they are
 still performing today.

 This song makes Toto one of two artists - minus collabs as in the case of
 Giorgio Moroder - to appear in three GTA games, on more than one radio
 station. "Africa" could be heard on Emotion in the original Vice City, and
 their 1978 single "Hold the Line" on K-DST in San Andreas.

 The other artist, of course, is Rick James (b---h), who has done the same, but
 appearing on three different radio stations with "Ghetto Life," (VC, Fever 105)
 "Cold Blooded," (SA, Master Sounds) and "Mary Jane." (VCS, VCFL)

(Chorus)
Why don't we make believe we're in love again,
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine,
Where do people go when they're looking for that one of a kind,
Why don't we make believe that we're sorry,
Why must we hurry all inside,
Where do lovers go when they're runnin' and there's no place to hide...

(Always remember) the day we met in the pouring rain,
(You were content and) we went our separate ways,
No matter which way thw wind blows now, hang on to it anyhow,
Don't ever say it could never be the same...

(Chorus)

(Always remember...) holding hands on a summer day,
(You were content and...) you took it all away,
I didn't come here to change your mind, 
Lead you on and waste your time,
All alone in the evening, gettin' day!

(Instrumental)
Why don't we make believe...

(Chorus) ((RD))

I: Songs of empowerment...and trying to forget your drunk uncle's breath in
   your face.

UNCLE: (burp) Com'ere, little cutie!

I: Emotion is your station.

L: Lionel Makepeace taking you through the morning, all night, with the only
   music that stirs a fire in your soul. You see, you want a woman who is a- a
   tiger. One that you lay eyes on her, and wow, you finish in your pants. Women
   only wanna be with the strongest. Show you're number one, and sing her this.

| Elkie Brooks - "Fool If You Think It's Over" | [EBFO]
+----------------------------------------------+
[This 1981 single off her album Pearls spent 10 weeks on the UK charts, peaking
 at #17. The British blues singer would go on to achieve her greatest success in
 1987 with her seemingly-aptly-named hit "No More The Fool" and continues to be
 a popular live performing artist to this day. The Guardian also recently
 labeled her "still one of the great British voices."]

A dying flame, you're free again,
Who could love...do that to you?
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back,
Save your tears, got years and years...

The pains of seventeens,
Unreal, they're only dreams,
Save your cryin' for the day...

(Chorus Pt 1)
Fool if you think it's over,
'Cause she said goodbye,
Fool if you think it's over,
Tell you why...

(Chorus Pt 2)
Newborn eyes always cry with pain,
at the first look at the morning sun...
Fool if you think it's over,
It's just begun...

This teenage dream, such a tragic scene,
He knocked your crown, and ran away,
First wound of pride, and how you cry and cry,
But save your tears, got years and years...

(Chorus Pts 1 and 2)

(Instrumental) [More saxophone riff!]
Fool if you think it's over...

I'll buy your first good wine...
We'll have ((RD)) a real good time, 
Save your cryin' for the day...

It may not come, but anyone,
Who had to pay, will laugh at you and say...

(Chorus Pt 1)

I'll buy your first good wine,
We'll have a real good time,
Fool if you think it's over,
I'll tell you why...

(Chorus Pt 2)

Fool if you think it's over...

L: I cry every time I hear that song, I cry, and I laugh, and I hold myself
   tight, and remember the first time...I was 13, in a jacuzzi. It was, kind of

[Remember this guy from VCPR? At least he learned to downsize his endeavors to
 something he could chew, and be more subtle with the references. I had a
 girlfriend that loved to "Motivate, Demonstrate, and Motivate Again," but
 even though I'm officially past her...I still can't forget. God, I'm lonely.]

How long has it been since you've gone at top speed in a powerboat, with two
blondes in bikinis? Well that's too long. Hi, I'm Jeremy Robard with some
important information about masculinity...and you.

In today's times with women working in the office and men wearing pastels,
pinks, and eye shadow, it's vital you reaffirm your masculinity, at every
opportunity. Are you wasting away in an office, going bald and entertaining
yourself by dropping pencils, so your fat secretary bends over? You could be in
the money, living an adventure.

Take on the hottest, most prestigious profession of today: International Trade.

It's a man's occupation. It's a career! And it's an opportunity, all at once.
All you have to do is lease one of our high-speed boats. No money down, no
credit check, and you'll be hauling glamorous international cargo in no time.
And you don't have to go very far, only about six miles off-shore to collect our
special cargo, and bring it back.

It's as easy as 1-2-3, all at high speed. Like a MAN! Hey, if you love the
ocean, partying, and genuine capitalism, the import/export business is for you.

If you're ready to step into the future of masculinity, come see me, Jeremy
Robard, at Robard's Import/Export in Viceport.

L: You're listening to Emotion. I'm your sentimental sensation, Lionel
   Makepeace, broadcasting from Studio H. Keeping you karmically in touchwith
   yourself. Keeping you in touch with your feelings. Keeping you in touch with
   your therapist.
 
   Speaking of therapy, I have still not gotten over Sheryl, man I lovethat
   woman. We had something really beautiful. It's a shame she left me for my
   anemic stepbrother, but everyone is their own journey, following their
   own star path. And that's something really beautiful. Spiritual journeys,
   and stars.

   May your paths cross with someone special, and hopefully, they'll have great
   hair.

| The Passions - "I'm In Love With A German Film Star" | [PGFS]
+------------------------------------------------------+
[This single, released in 1981, made #25 on the UK charts. This was the
 Passions' one-hit wonder, as they would disband in 1983. A number of bands
 would cover the song for years to come - including the Foo Fighters.]

I'm in love with a German film star,
I once saw in a bar,
Sitting in a corner and in perfect clothes,
Trying not too pose,
For the cameras and the girls,
It's a glamourous world...

I'm in love with a German film star,
I once saw in a movie,
Playing the part of a real troublemaker but I didn't care,
It really moved me,
It really moved me...

(Instrumental)

F: That's right Lionel, I am here at Cinder Beast Tattoos. There are things that
   last forever, like a paper degree, or the time you play on the railroad
   tracks with your slow brother, and he doesn't get out of the way in time, and
   joo realize this is, how joo say, a metaphor for the first sexual experience!
   You like roses? Or barbed wire? Or maybe joo love someone so much, joo want
   their name on your a--, for all eternity. Or you want a tattoo of a mermaid,
   AND a gorilla? Or a man, slaying a dragon with his p---s.

   These guys take good care of you! They use clean needles, they change them
   every week. They train for a BERY long time, like, three days. And some of
   them have been in the joint so joo KNOW they have experience. For skulls on
   fire, or Egyptian symbols of fertility, come to Cinder Beast Tattoos. This IS
   Fernando Martinez, for Emotion. Written on the heart, tattooed on the loins.

| Foreigner - "I Wanna Know What Love Is" | [FKWL]
+-----------------------------------------+
[Number 476 on Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and arguably the
 most famous song on the entire soundtrack of Vice City Stories, this song from
 their 1984 album Agent Provocateur hit number 1 in the United States, the
 United Kingdom, AND Australia. The backing vocals were provided by the New
 Jersey Mass Choir.

 "Waiting for a Girl Like You," off their 1981 album 4 (as in, the album is
 literally numbered 4) and played on Fernando's Emotion as well as the Midway
 game RoadKill, would hold the odd distinction of spending a record ten weeks at
 number 2 without ever reaching number 1.]

I've gotta take a little time,
A little time to think things over...
I'd better read between the lines,
In case I'll need it when I'm over...

Now this mountain I must climb,
Feels like the world upon my shoulder...
Through the clouds I see love shine,
It keeps me warm as life grows colder,

In my life, there's been heartache and pain,
I don't know, if I can face it again,
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far,
To change this lonely life...

I wanna know what love is,
I want you to show me!
I wanna feel what love is,
I know you can show me...

I'm gonna take a little time,
A little time to look around me...
I've got nowhere left to hide,
It looks like love has finally found me...

In my life, there's been heartache and pain,
I don't know, if I can face it again,
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far,
To change this lonely life...

I wanna know what love is,
I want you to show me!
I wanna feel what love is,
I know you can show me...

| The Assembly - "Never, Never" | [ASNN]
+-------------------------------+
[The band was created by former Yazoo member Vince Clarke in 1983, and this was
 their one-hit wonder single along with the instrumental "Stop/Start", topping
 the charts in the UK. The guitar was sampled note-for-note on a synthesizer,
 continuing the new wave influence into heart-wrenching songs like these. Clarke
 went on to form the band Erasure in 1985.]

I know just what to say,
It's just a game I play,
Now I'm here on my own,
I'd like to be with you, I guess you always knew,
Still I'm all alone,
I know the story, but it all worked out,

It never happens to me,
It never happens to me, (It's the way my life was meant to be,)
It never happens to me,
It never happens to me, (Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key,)
It never happens to me,

I know my every line,
It's just a waste of time,
Guess it's all such a shame.
I've seen it all before, and everytime I'm sure,
That it ends up the same...
I know the story, but it all worked out.

Never happens to me,
It never happens to me, (It's the way my life was meant to be,)
It never happens to me,
It never happens to me, (Love's just a door that's locked and there's no key,)
It never happens to me,

   dreams. Keep it locked on the heart, the appendix, and the spleen.

[I don't recall people using expletives that heavy on commercials for shows like
 these, even if they would have been bleeped out. On a humorous side note, try
 imagining Sasuke as Angel and Sakura as Knight. Eat that, Naruto.]

ANNOUNCER: Criss Van Angel is a flyboy hot-dog helicopter pilot, who flew
           missions in 'Nam and can't get enough of the ladies.

ANGEL: I'm kind of a sassy p---k.

A: Bonnie Knight is a recovering alcoholic ninja, who will sleep her way to the

KNIGHT: Who do I have to b--w in this place to get some information?

A: When they're not fighting their personal demons, they're fighting crime.
   They're private detectives. They are Angel and the Knight. Tuesday nights at
   7, don't miss Angel and the Knight. They live together on a speedboat, and
   have a special helicopter that goes underwater.

(sound of car accelerating)

DRUG LORD: Now joo are going to die, Bonnie Knight, you drunken ninja slut!

KNIGHT: We have a special helicopter that goes underwater! You guys are F---ED!

| Pat Benatar - "We Belong"  | [PBWB]
+----------------------------+
[This single, along with 1983's "Love Is A Battlefield," makes Benatar one of
 several artists to have songs on two different radio stations in VCS. "We
 Belong" matched "Battlefield's" performance on the Hot 100 by reaching #5, but
 only ended up two notches short of Battlefield's chart-topping stretch on the
 Mainstream Rock chart. We Belong also earned Benatar a Grammy Nomination for
 Best Female Rock Vocal performance while the latter earned her the Grammy
 itself.

 For those who've watched Talladega Nights, this song should conjure up images
 of Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in NASCAR driver jumpsuits running in
 slow-motion across a finish line and...I won't spoil the rest of the movie
 for you. n.=.n]

(We belong, We belong to the light...)

Many times I tried to tell you,
Many times I cried alone,
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone,
Don't wanna leave you reeling, I've invested too much time,
To give you up that easy, to the doubts that complicate your mind,

(Chorus)
We belong to the light, we belong to the father,
We belong to the sound of the words, before falling under,
Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better,
We belong, we belong, we belong together...

Maybe it's a sign of weakness,
When I don't know what to say,
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway,
If we become a habit, do we distort the facts,
Now there's no looking forward, now there's no looking back, when you say...

(Chorus)

Close and your eyes and try to sleep now,
Close your eyes and try to dream,
Play your mind and do your best to try to wash the palette clean,
We can't began to know it, how much we really care,
I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere, still you say...

(Chorus repeat to fade) ((RD))

F: Yes, I AM Fernando Martinez. I am bringing people together. Just minutes ago,
   I brought Bob, a bored married accountant, and a father of three, together
   with Nightshade - a WONDERFUL lady. As we speak, they are discovering
   "passion," at a discount rate.

L: Fernando, you're an animal.

F: I AM an animal, Lionel. A leopard, who cannot change his spots. A tiger, a
   DRAGON, a horny bull, scratching his back on the barbed wire, looking out for
   the farmer's wife. I broadcast live, Lionel, I AM Fernando Martinez, and I am

 Pretenders album topped the UK charts but only made it to #9 in the US, and is
 best known for the UK #1 and US Top 20 single "Brass In Pocket." The album
 itself would go on to be one of VH1's best albums of all time, and #155 on
 Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums.]

Your private life, drama baby leave me out... (3x)

J'ai les glands with your theatrics, your acting's a drag...
It's ok on TV 'cause you can turn it off, but don't try me,
Yes your marriage is a tragedy but it's not my concern
I'm very superficial, I hate anything official

(Chorus)
Your private life, drama baby leave me out...
(You've been lying to someone and now me, stop) (All verse 3x)

Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death...
You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath...
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret s--t that's so wet,
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations...

(Chorus)

(Instrumental) ((RD))

You asked me for advice I said use the door,
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore,
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail,
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry...

| Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight" | [PCAT]
+-------------------------------------+
[Phil Collins' first solo single from his 1981 album Face Value made #19 on the
 Billboard 100 but it would not be until its TV-show debut that its fame would
 skyrocket. The Miami Vice influence on Vice City comes full circle with the
 inclusion of its most famous song, as played in the episode "Brother's Keeper."
 The video was the 21st ever played on MTV's launch. Two other Phil Collins
 hits: "Easy Lover" and Genesis single "Turn It On Again," are played on Flash
 FM.

 The song would be included, parodied, or otherwise used in numerous TV shows
 and movies, including a cover by Nonpoint for the 2006 Miami Vice movie.

 As for the urban legend...

 "...remember that song...about that guy who could've saved that other guy from
  drowning, but didn't, then Phil saw it all and at a show he found him? That's
  kinda how this is, you coulda saved me from drowning, now it's too late, I'm
  on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy..." - Eminem, "Stan"]

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...
And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord...
Can you feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...oh lord...

Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand,
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am,
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes,
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you been,
It's all been a pack of lies...

And I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...
Well I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...
And I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...oh Lord....

Well I remember, I remember don't worry...
How could I ever forget, it's the first time...the last time we ever met...
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up...knowing you fully...
But the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows,
No stranger to you and me!

(super drum riff! >:O)

And I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...
Well I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord...oh lord...
And I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord...
And I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord...oh lord...
And I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord...

 Interestingly, the band reunited in 2001 and are now creating material for an
 album to be released later this year.]

Now the party's over, I'm so tired,
Then I see you coming, out of nowhere,
Much communication, in a motion,
Without conversation, or a notion,

Avalon...

When the samba takes you, out of nowhere,
And the background's fading, out of focus,
Yes the picture's changing, every moment,
And your destination, you don't know it,

When you bossa nova, there's no holding
Would you have me dancing, out of nowhere

 the soundtrack of K-DST in San Andreas.]

Baby hold on to me,
Whatever will be will be,
The future is ours to see,
So baby hold on to me,

Baby, what's these things you've been saying about me, behind my back,
Is it true that you might want a better life,
Is is true you think these things are a lie...
Think about it baby, I'm gonna take you to the top,

So Baby hold on to me,
Whatever will be will be,
The future is ours to see,
When you hold on to me,

Baby, you know the future's looking brighter, every mornin' when I get up,
Don't be thinking 'bout what's not enough now, baby,
Just be thinkin' 'bout what we got,
Think of all my love now, I'm gonna give you all I got...

Oh-oh, rich man and poor man,
Really don't mean all that much
Mama's always told you, girl,
That money can't buy you love...

["Stone Cold" comes off the 1981 album Straight Between The Eyes, by a Rainbow
 that had fired Ronnie James Dio a few years before. Rainbow's years up to its
 temporary yet lengthy split in 1984 saw many more shifts in the lineup as the
 band's musical direction headed toward pop metal. The only original member
 remaining at the time they finally disbanded in 1997 was lead guitarist Richard
 Blackmore.]

Every night I have the same ol' dream,
'Bout you and me and what's in between...
So many changes, so many lies...
Try to run, try to hide,
From ever'thing I feel inside, but I can't escape you,
Or your frozen eyes...

Searching in the darkness, fading inside,
Love was here and gone, like a thief, in the night!

(Chorus)
Stone cold! I thought I knew you so well,
Stone cold! Can't break away from your spell,

Another dark and empty night,
If I'm alone I want to make it right
But you are so distant, so far away...
Your words like ice grow along the ground,
Breakin' the silence without a sound,
Familiar strangers with nothing to say...

Searching in the darkness, fading inside,
Love was here and gone, like a thief, in the night!

(Chorus)

You leave me stone cold!

Searching in the darkness, fading inside,

L: Fernando, this is a family show.

F: Where do you think babies come from Lionel? Not from therapy, buddy, or the
   stork, but from the power and the "passion" of a load of baby oil, and a
   woman to relax you. You see, we waste so much of our love when you make an
   abstract painting on her face, or a map of the Falkland Islands on your
   stomach, on a lonely night. But this is BUSINESS class, baby! This is 1984.
   It is beautiful, "passion" CAN be released. Boy, do I know that. All the
   ethnicities: Asians, the Swedes, the little Mexican girl. It is beautiful.
   Really, incredible! Hey baby, I think I'm getting a li'l stress' again! Come

 whose one-hit wonder was this #26 song off their self-titled 1984 album. A
 sequel album released in 1986 did not attain nearly as much success, and the
 band was soon dissolved with barely a whimper.

 Not known to most others is that Giuffria also made a little ditty called
 "Sweet Victory," which ended up as the theme song for an episode of Spongebob
 Squarepants. Sadly, the full 3:48 version of THAT song can only be found by
 BUYING it from www.apmmusic.com. ):< ]

Can I ever live without you girl,
Put back on my feet again,
Now I'm lost in your world,
And there's no simple way to let you go,
You've been such a part of me,
And though you choose to walk a separate road I still believe in you...

So I call to your heart,
Hear me callin' to your...
Oh, I call to your heart,
I'm comin' to your heart...

Distant voices from the silent night, call to a memory
Someone touched me but I don't feel right,
It's only you and me, believe me...

When I call to your heart,
Hear me callin' to your...
Oh, I call to your heart,
I'm callin' to your, callin' to your...
Hear me call to your...heart...your love...

I'm lost along the way...
But don't let, I found you someday...

Callin' to your... ((Fade out))

Hear me call to your...
Hear me comin' to your...

Darlin', remember, the things that we had,
I gave everything, my world, to hold you again,
And darlin', together, we can make it work out,
So stay with me baby, I need you now,

Call to your heart,
I've been callin' you back again, and hear all the times when I,
Call to your heart,

Call to your heart,

Oh I'll call to your heart,
Hear me callin' to your, callin' to your, heart!

To your heart...

  Evacuator Playset   [EVPL]
+                   +
[My dad has a whole collection of G.I. Joes - and most of their weapons - dating
 back to the 80s. He's also got a smaller collection of "sold separately"
 accessories, though I don't remember if he had any battle sets. Still, it's
 always funny to hear kids use heavy expletives and mimic the more violent
 things they see on TV. :D]

KID: Hahaha! I'm gonna slit your throat in your sleep!

DAD: What's that, son?

ANNOUNCER: Introducing the Evacuator Playset and Action Figures, featuring Tim!

   understand it too. Take it away boys, make me sob.

| The Art of Noise - "Moments in Love" | [ANML]
+--------------------------------------+
["Moments In Love" was released as a single in 1985 but had been included on two
 albums by this synthesizer-centered team in 1983. This song was originally TEN
 minutes long. Mmmmm. It has also been sampled by countless others including
 many hip-hop artists (in particular), though sometimes I imagine the lyrics to
 "Lovers & Friends" with this base line. The song was also played at Madonna's
 wedding.

 Not long after this song's release as a single the band was torn apart
 allegedly due to disputes over creative control, but the song's legacy lives on
 in its countless remixes and covers as well as its samples.

 Oh, and this piece is all instrumental, so there aren't any lyrics. Enjoy!]

--------------------------------------------------o0o-

L: That was Art of Noise, "Moments in Love."

I: We love you, just the way you are, on or off your period! (woman crying)
   Emotion 98.3.

(Begin Music)

L: I said this to a girl on the bus once and she slapped me - "I Could Dream
   About You." Dan Hartman.

+---------------------------------------+
| Dan Hartman - "I Can Dream About You" | [DHDY]
+---------------------------------------+
["I Can Dream About You" comes off the soundtrack of the 50s/80s gangland movie
 Streets of Fire, which opened in theatres in 1984. The song was his second of
 three #1 hits, after which he continued as a songwriter and producer to such
 notable artists as Tina Turner, Joe Cocker (of San Andreas fame) and the late,
 great James Brown.

 Hartman died in 1994 due to a brain tumor caused by AIDS. So remember folks,
 keep it safe and protected out there.]

No more timing, each year it falls from my eyes,
I'm not hiding, the remedy to cure this ol' heart of mine,

I can dream about you, if I can't hold you tonight...
I can dream about you, you know how to hold me just right...

Moving sidewalk, I don't see under my feet...
Cry me up from, down here below where the street sees me lonely for you,

I can dream about you, If I can't hold you tonight,
I can dream about you, you know how to hold me just right...

(I can dream about you) I'm gonna press my lips against you and hold you to me,
(I can dream about you) You know you got me spellbound, what else could it be,

Moving sidewalk, I don't see under my feet...
Cry me up from, the pain in my heart, 'cause it's you that I need!

(Instrumental)

I can dream...
I can dream...
If I can dream... whoa... ((FADE OUT))

I don't understand it, I can't keep my mind off loving you,
Ooo, now baby, I'm caught up in the magic I see in you,
There's one thing to do,

(Chorus repeat to fade)
