Tonight's leap back in time begins with cheesy 80s - big hair, synthesizers and a video that doesn't do much for anyone. After a 45-second ending to "Silent Running," Mike and the Mechanics crank up "All I Need Is a Miracle." Quiz: The lead actor wearing the coat and tie in the video played what character in what 1971 children's classic (answer below)?
Nothing fancy about this one - just good ole dry ice, 80s threads and confirmation from Dori that America's "You Can Do Magic" is a great song.
Gotta love SNL's John Belushi training for Olympic Gold by eating Little Chocolate Donuts, "the breakfast of champions" according to Marv Albert.
Answer to quiz: Verucha Salt's father, who was "always making things difficult" in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

I was never much a fan of America's "Horse With No Name" or "Sister Golden Hair". I do like "You Can Do Magic", a departure from their previous easy listening, folk guitar image. Yeah, lots of 80's music was overproduced but still pretty good.
New York, London, Paris, Munich.
Everybody's talking 'bout PopMuzik.
