Get out of my dreams

In honor of Bob Rivers, I’m considering only listening to songs that were on the Billboard Top 100 in April 1988 until the Orioles win a game. “Devil Inside” was really one of the best INXS songs but I feel it’s been largely forgotten. (“Need You Tonight” is the best INXS song, I’m sorry but sometimes the popular choice is the right one.)

Terence Trent D’Arby! I think he became a mystic and changed his name at some point. But boy do I love the little tin whistle thing in “Wishing Well.”.

But there’s no way around it, if we’re doing April 1988 we are going to have to listen to Billy Ocean, “Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car.” I’m going to be at American Family Field watching the Orioles take on the Brewers tomorrow and Wednesday. Let’s hope they win; I can’t let this song get stuck in my head again.
