No Jay Simpson | Science says music was better in the 80s | Let down by Ozzy Osbourne

No Jay Simpson | Science says music was better in the 80s | Let down by Ozzy Osbourne

We look back at OJ Simpson's 80s ''movie'' career. He could have been the Terminator but instead...well, that joke is even beneath us.


Science says 80s music was better, Dori misses the Vietnam War and Paulo was tricked by Condorman.


We wonder if This is Spinal Tap 2 will turn it up to 12, while the NeverEnding Story remakes give us a sinking feeling.


Has anyone asked what Limahl thinks?

That 80s Show | Where are the Police Academy cadets now | Don in a Heartbeat

That 80s Show | Where are the Police Academy cadets now | Don in a Heartbeat

Beatboxing for Simon Cowell, opening for Nirvana and a 1 -man stage show - we find out what the cast of Police Academy got up to when they handed in their badges.


Dori recommends a movie-not-movie that starred Don Johnson, Giancarlo Esposito, Lori Singer, Sandahl Bergman, Luiz Guzman, David Carradine and Willie Nelson - that wasn't a movie at all.


Another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line'' that includes a brutal Rick Roll.

That 80s Show | Now that's what I don't call music | A mouse walks into a bar. Everyone knows his name.

That 80s Show | Now that's what I don't call music | A mouse walks into a bar. Everyone knows his name.

Paulo and Dori will not let a lack of musical ability stop them from rising up the 80s charts as AI and Dolph Lundgren's nipples, come to the rescue.


We'd only buy a Thundercats Lego playset if they fully leaned into ''Thundercats Leg-ho'' and Mickey Mouse shows up in the last 80s sitcom you'd expect.

That 80s Show | Drink my Delorean Dust | T is for the song Mr T sang for his mom | Smut with Brut

That 80s Show | Drink my Delorean Dust | T is for the song Mr T sang for his mom | Smut with Brut

Dori tasted a drink from the 80s and was let down, while Paulo wants an 80s inspired beer - even if it is cotton candy flavoured.


Mr T. Loves his Momma, doesn't love spelling.


Our movie recommendations ask what happened to the kid from ET and imagine what it's like being self-impregnated through thoughts of a bearded Dennis Quaid.


We go back to look at some 80s porn disguised as cologne ads and play another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line''.

That 80s Show | Dori The Fan Girl | The most 80s man who never existed | Stand up for Madonna

That 80s Show | Dori The Fan Girl | The most 80s man who never existed | Stand up for Madonna

Dori and Paulo were duped by A.I. until they started counting the fingers.


Art is in the eye of the beholder especially when it's a re-creation of a video store.


Which 80s Lego set would you buy? A Miami Vice one? Golden Girls or Who's The Boss? Or maybe you just want a Whoopi mini-fig.


Madonna's State to State Tour of Hate continues and another round of Guess the 80s Song by The First Line.

That 80s Show | Paulo’s Deacon Blues | Flipping for George Michael | Don’t drag Madonna round in your high heels.

That 80s Show | Paulo’s Deacon Blues | Flipping for George Michael | Don’t drag Madonna round in your high heels.

Dori has better friends than Paulo and she rubs it in his face by reviewing Deacon Blue in concert. 


Paulo wants to create a George Michael economy which leads to possibly the best discovery in the history of this show.


Paulo names so many sex tapes which prompts Dori to talk about Saltburn - possibly the name of a sex tape. 


Are we about to get a hologram remake of ‘’Do they know it’s Christmas’’? Is Madonna nicer to her dancers than Lizzo? Can you name an 80s song by the first line - all coming up on That 80s Show.

That 80s Show | Scoring with the 80s | When in doubt, it’s a Satanist | Paulo steals 80s jackets

Most people were watching for Taylor Swift, Paulo was there for Mr. T, so how did the 80s do at the Super Bowl?


A few weeks ago we argued that Pauly Shore SHOULD play Richard Simmons, but after seeing his pitch movie - we’re not so sure.


Corey + Corey = Cautionary Story and can you guess the 80s song from the first line?

That 80s Show | Wearing your sunglasses to the Greatest Night in Pop | Citi Golf coloured Aliens | Murder She Did

That 80s Show | Wearing your sunglasses to the Greatest Night in Pop | Citi Golf coloured Aliens | Murder She Did

A documentary about the greatest (American) charity supergroup was released this week, so we're gonna be all over it.


How did, ''We are the world'' come about? All is revealed - and as a bonus we even tell you why Dan Ackroyd was there.


A segment that was meant to shit on a Heidi Klum cover song took a surprising turn and we look at the rampant corruption-bot called Jessica Fletcher.

That 80s Show | Q&A over TA | Touch me, but not in an airplane | Full frontal Man-Eatery | Attorneys at LA Law.

Dori has a problem with acronyms and it made Paulo LOL.


Which 80s sex symbol has just been arrested and is Pauly Shore an Oscar winner in waiting?


The A-Team remake made Paulo nostalgic and somehow Boy George is involved.


Finally Paulo & Dori & Associates defend Madonna against sniffly little baby people who missed their bed time. And yes, we go to court playing the LA Law theme song.

No jam left unpumped | | Recognising Dr Alban | HoloWham!s Return | Being rescued by John Ritter

No jam left unpumped | | Recognising Dr Alban | HoloWham!s Return | Being rescued by John Ritter

We start in the 90s as Paulo recaps the 100% Retro concert. Trust us, no Jam was left Unpumped!!


It got us wondering which 80s bands were still touring, and some really shouldn’t be. 


On the back of the new Beverly Hills Cop we ask, ‘’Which 80s sequels do you want to see?’’.


Dori has a lethal movie recommendation while Paulo brings us a John Ritter movie, and some other movies to keep it company.

That 80s Show | Back To The Ridgeley | Nationwide RickRoll | 80s Mall Gangs |Who’s The Mermaid

That 80s Show | Back To The Ridgeley | Nationwide RickRoll | 80s Mall Gangs |Who’s The Mermaid

The first episode of 2024 which is certainly not 24 years away from the 80s.

We recap Wham!'s rise to Number 1, wonder if Andrew Ridgeley is a time traveller and rue not being RickRolled by Rick himself.

Paulo and Dori watched so many 80s things over the holidays - one of which reminded Paulo of the ''gang'' which terrorised his local mall.

Finally some factoids we've been accumulating since our last show, including an innocuous reason to talk about Alyssa Milano.

That 80s Show | Wham!ageddon Wipe Out | 80s Xmas Shopping | A Barry Man-i-hole

That 80s Show | Wham!ageddon Wipe Out | 80s Xmas Shopping | A Barry Man-i-hole

What if you could take out 7000 Wham!ageddon playing heathens with the click of 1 play button? Dj Matty did and he deserves a Knighthood.


We visit the Wham! online store and put together our Xmas list, Dori reminds Paulo of the movie, ''Falling Down'', Paulo warns Dori against watching, "Elves'' and we remedy the lack of regular Barry Manilow updates.

That 80s Show | Reverse Wham!Ageddon | Hall and Oates Private Lies | Out of Context Paulo - The Action Figure

That 80s Show | Reverse Wham!Ageddon | Hall and Oates Private Lies | Out of Context Paulo - The Action Figure

Your favourite 80s podcasts brings you the rules of Reverse Wham!Ageddon - don't even bother playing, Paulo will beat you.


Who would win in a fight between Wham! and The Pet Shop Boys? Who will win in the fight between Hall and Oates and who would you back if Calvin took on Hobbs?


Plus, The Guardian ranked the Top 20 Stock Aitken Waterman songs of the 80s and 90s and number one will spin you right round.

That 80s Show | 80s Baldies | Elton John FC | MacGyver's MacLegacy

That 80s Show | 80s Baldies | Elton John FC | MacGyver's MacLegacy

Power Station likes it hot, Paulo and Dori do not!


We needed Richard Dean Anderson to help us MacGyver our aircon, maybe we should have called him by his first name.


Paulo compiles a list of his favourite 80s baldies, Dori takes on the 80s Movie Quote Quiz - like Telly Fun Quiz but without a duck - The Karate Kid won't go away and the Stranger Things ''kids'' need to retire.

That 80s Show | Rick Astley runs around with dessert spoons | Not a Porno | Manimal and the Highway Man

That 80s Show | Rick Astley runs around with dessert spoons | Not a Porno | Manimal and the Highway Man

Rick Astley Rick Rolls misheard lyrics once and for all with a charity version of, ''Never Gonna give you up'' to tackle stigmas around hearing loss.


Proving once again that he is the most lovely man ever.


Paulo revisits the odd final two seasons of, ''Who's the Boss'' but Dori still doesn't remember watching them.


A surprise mention of The Smiths before Paulo brings Dori a movie so outrageous with a plot so porntastic, yet not one single boob is seen in the entire 80 minute run time.


Really? Every 80s movie had atleast 1 boob.


Plus, ''Last Christmas'' is already in the charts and this show is only responsible for 72% of the streams.

That 80s Show Meets Dr Phil Joffe from Body Beat

That 80s Show Meets Dr Phil Joffe from Body Beat

You wake up in the late 80s or early 90s - you hear some shuffling in your parent's bedroom - thankfully they're are just getting into some Body Beat.


It was the exercise sensation of our childhoods with the soundtrack that has burrowed into our brains, and the man behind it all was Dr. Phil Joffe.


We got hold of the Doc to find out the story behind the lycra, how there was a link between the show and Marilyn Monroe, scone hunting in Upington and how he's still keeping people fit today.


Keep up with Dr. Phil Joffe:

I just called to say I ban you | Dori Dom D**s

I just called to say I ban you | Dori Dom D**s

Paulo and Dori remember a time when ads, were just ads - not dirty little stalkers trying to get you to drink beer.


We look back at the 80s sitcoms Matthew Perry guest starred in and are now convinced that we missed a whole season of ''Who's the Boss''.


Dori watched a doccie and blamed it on the rain, the 1980s SABC blamed it on Stevie Wonder, Andrew Ridgeley blamed it on Björn Borg and John Stamos could blame it on his hairdresser.

That 80s Show | We pity the fool who plays with matches | Demi Moore and a chainsaw wielding horse | What's in George Michael's pockets?

If you were a kid in the 80s and ignored safety advice from Michael J. Fox and both Batemans - did you have the guts to ignore the A-Team?

Has a sitcom spin-off ever worked? We find two that definitely didn't.

Plus more from randy John Stamos and his steamy memoire, what would you find if you rummaged through George Michael's pockets and subscribe now to get our interview with Phil Joffe from Body Beat!

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park | John Stamos and a sex duvet | You’re Gene, go Wilder | F-Hoff Becky.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Park | John Stamos and a sex duvet | You’re Gene, go Wilder | F-Hoff Becky.

OMG we’re going to see OMD and we'er a Dilly Dias and a Dilly Dori

 

Dori and Paulo both have an outrageous tale to tell -  one that involves John Stamos and a sex duvet the other, a killer kiss that led to someone Kevin Baconing, Jason Bateman.

 

We find more reasons to hate 80s studio execs before wondering how the world went so wrong seeing that we were raised by Michael Knight.

That 80s Show | Cabbage Patch Lawsuit | Van Damme of the Universe | Hooked on vampires.

Call Corbin Bernsen - That 80s Show are getting into the legal shenanigans behind the Cabbage Patch Kids.


Paulo passes out at the thought of Jean-Claude Van Damme in a He-Man movie, and Dori is hooked on podcasts in this week's entertainment recommendation.


And against all odds we find out who was the voice of the 80s.

That 80s Show | Andrew Read-geley | Reboots no one wanted | Olivia Newton's Bomb

That 80s Show | Andrew Read-geley | Reboots no one wanted | Olivia Newton's Bomb

Paulo loved George and Me, until he had to read it like a peasant.


People keep making 80s reboots, no one wants them, not even a Short Circuit one - unless they rectify ''that'' issue.


Dori has a viewing recommendation that's hilariously criminal, while Paulo explores a John Travolta and Olivia Newton bomb.


The Hoff has a new show and an even better play on his name.

That 80s Show | Where the spheres have no name | Body Beat beats Richard Simmons | Garbage Pail Kids were Communistic

80s legends U2 had a bloody good Sunday when they opened the Las Vegas Sphere, but Dori is still mad at them for having the audacity to give her an album for free.


Richard Simmons was only big in the States because they didn't have Body Beat. Now we have a new mission: reunite Body Beat.


Finally, communistic chewing gum cards provoke Paulo into a Public Service Announcment.

That 80s Show | What do Paulo and Germany have in common | The best foreign movies of the 80s | The Burt Reynolds love-in continues.

Paulo convinces Dori to love Italo-Disco via Germany, it kind of works.

We then take a look at the best foreign films of the 80s - Paulo is let down by Kiss of the Spider Woman and Dori has seen most of them.

We get excited about upcoming 80s documentaries and Paulo imagines a Cabbage Patch kid in Madonna's birth canal.

That 80s Show | Freddy Mercury's garden door upset Brian May | New Order, a floppy disk and childish giggles | Burt Reynolds kept making the same movie

Hopefully it's a better week for that 80s Show than it's been for That 70s Show and appropriately Dori takes us to the 90s.

We talk about 80s things selling for a lot of money, 80s things that lost a lot of money, a movie that may or may not have been broadcast on Red Nose Day, Burt Reynolds being inappropriate with Loni Anderson and how Priscilla Presley inspired Depeche Mode.

That 80s Show | Why does Paulo hate Jamie Lee Curtis? | The Chevy Chase rap album | Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Paulo hates talking about dreams - but he has to tell you about his vendetta against an 80s scream queen.

Chevy Chase is on everyone's hate list and he just cemented his place in ours after we discovered his album of (s)hits.

Terrible movie recommendations that includes Andrew Dice Clay and Alyssa Milano and another round of Two 80s Truths and a Lie.

That 80s Show | Pee Wee's Hoff House | Zepotha got us | Fritz the Cat and a rabbit hole | Luke Combs has a Fast Car

Paul Reuben passes away and Paulo links it to the Hoff - and honestly, truth is stranger than the fictional reality show we created.


Tik Tok has been duped by Zepotha, we're just here for the promise of Synth-Wave.


Dori visits the Costa Del Sol and finds a Town Called Malice, Paulo heads down a Fritz the Cat rabbit hole - which wasn't part of the sequel - and our new favourite song about a Fast Car, is our old favourite song about a Fast Car.


Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:


Respectable - Mel & Kim

That 80s Show | Paulo quizzes The Quizmaster | Ryan Reynolds reboots ALF | Club Tropicana and the drinks aren't free

Due to no fault of his own, Paulo did not win an 80s quiz evening. He conducts an internal audit.


We examine the many reasons why Paulo and Ryan Reynolds would be best friends, a shared love of ALF is one of them.


Dori has a very witchy movie review, we stalk Andrew Ridgeley AGAIN and we track down the real Club Tropicana...the reviews are mixed.

Mr T, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore and a shirtless George Michael all in the opening few minutes - that's why were one of the best podcasts in Africa!


It was bound to happen, and it happened on our 150th movie recommendation. If you know, you know.


We look at some 80s controversies we forgot about and find a lovely story about an 80s Cow-reoke.

In the latest edition of That Wham! Show we find out that Wham! may come back as holograms, Andrew Ridgeley wants to do the cha cha cha and how a trip to China ended with George Michael being called a dumbell.


Dori recommends the Perks of Being a Wallflower while Paulo's movie links Kenny Rogers to Weekend at Bernies.


And having heard something about a Barbie movie, Paulo and Dori look at Barbie in the 80s.


So. Many. Legwarmers.

That 80s Show | There can never be too much Wham! | Sci-Fi Satire | Shaka Zulu and The Knight Rider.

With so much Wham! content around, Paulo and Dori have grabbed those teets and are milking George and Andrew for all they're worth.


Admit that we've all had that dream atleast once.


We also explore the finest in 80s Sci-Fi satire which may or may not include a lost Bee Gee brother.


More Wham! as we close out the show plus a look at the Shaka Zulu mini-series from the 80s which ends with a Hoff reference.


Of course it does.

That 80s Show | We didn't start the fire, but Fall Out Boy should stop it | The Wham!u-mentary | Bud (Spencer) Lite | Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang

It's Wham! Week and Paulo is angry with Fall Out Boy.


They remade a Billy Joel song, and didn't even have the decency to do it in chronological order.


We have an intellectual conversation about Wham! on Netflix before Paulo brings Dori a story about Bud Spencer so ridiculous that he didn't even bother playing Two 80s Truths and a lie, because fact is stranger than fiction.


On that note - we uncover the very obvious reason why it's Bono from U2 and not Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang.

That 80s Show | Rick Astonbury | Why can't a millionaire playboy adopt teenage girls? | Offensive 80s songs

So much Glastonbury, so little time.


The biggest event of 2023 gives Paulo and Dori a chance to go back to the 80s to talk about Blondie, The Pretenders, Guns n Roses, Elton John and Rick Astley.


But most importantly, is Slash bald under his hat?


Movie recommendations get creepy and musical and we bring you offensive songs from the 80.

That 80s Show | Boom Boom lets go back to our podcast | Beauty and the Linda Hamilton | See Wham, think of us | Michael Knight - Train Rider.

Ever wondered what happened to that 80s one hit wonder? Be more specific you say?


A conversation about Linda Hamilton's Terminator arms reminded Paulo and Dori of the very un-Disney Beauty and the Beast.


Who was worse? 80s video store guys or 80s music store guys? The video store guys let Paulo leave with age-restricted movies so they're in the lead.

Marisa Tomei in a towel, Andrew Ridgeley's ex walking to China, Dolph Lundgren's health and a very boring David Hasselhoff are all waiting for you in this weeks version of the Oros Man's favourite podcast.

That 80s Show | Paulo is STILL crying | The World's longest coke straw | John Travolta and a mechanical bull | Sade but make it house.

Paulo watched "Still: A Michael J Fox movie," and had all the feelings. So overwhelmed by emotion, he forgot the name of MJF's wife. Paulo is a jerk.

But he's a jerk with a new guilty pleasure in "A Town Called Malice." Dori recommends a movie with a message, but of course, we only notice the impractically long cocaine straw and the waterbed, which made Paulo think the movie will end up being porn.

Paulo is a jerk.

We discover why Urban Cowboys are dead, who the ultimate 80s action guy was, and what happens when you add a house beat to "Smooth Operator."

That 80s Show | You wake up in the 80s? Now what? | Paulo manifested a portable vinyl player | Ferris almost took ALL the days off.

What would you do if you woke up back in the 80s?

Buy Apple stocks and not really do anything different, unless you're Dori, who would change the order in which she kisses her posters in the morning.

We also reminisce about the hilarity of 80s Garfield merchandise, wonder if River Phoenix would have had Johnny Depp's career, and imagine a world where Johnny Depp was the star of Big.

That 80s Show | The USA for Africa deadpool | Dori and the lizard baby from V | Sly did Frank dirty | Two 80s Truths and a lie?

We open the show with a look back at Tina Turner's career, but being us - we ended up wondering which member of the supergroup USA for Africa would die next. One name ''jumped'' out at us.


Paulo reminds Dori of the mini-series V, while she reminds him of Macguyver's best friend.


Frank Stallone wouldn't try boxing, so why did Sly sing? And we close off the episode with Two 80s Truths and a lie.

That 80s Show | Chunging our Wangs| Skinny Dipping with Jane Fonda | a vinegary Russian.

We promise that we had a running order for this week's show, but once Dori brought up Panburgers we took a very weird detour that Chunged our Wangs.


Pac-Man, paint-stripping 80s vinegar, skinny dipping with Jane Fonda, another, more obvious, name for the keytar, Paulo being blocked by Andrew Ridgley and naturally Dolph Lundgren's nipples.


And those weren't even the weird things we got into.

That 80s Show | Barret didn't walk out | Michael Jordan or Whitney | Chart Savant

Come and knock on our door...but not while we're recording!!!


It's Three's Company as Barret Edelstein, The Celeb Savant joins Paulo and Dori. He tells us about his tribute interview with Michael Caprio, Olivia Newton-John's publicist and brings another round of Chart Savant to the pod.


Before that we talk about the movie, ''Air'' - which Barret walked out of. We also remember Whitney Houston, whose Ellis Park concert Barret walked out of.


Quite frankly we're shocked that he stayed for the entirety of this show.

That 80s Show | The Cheers bar is for sale and Paulo and Dori would be terrible billionaires | A literal butthead | Michael J Fox dated EVERYONE!!!

That 80s Show | The Cheers bar is for sale and Paulo and Dori would be terrible billionaires | A literal butthead | Michael J Fox dated EVERYONE!!!

How much would you pay for an unopened Betamax? Not as much as Dori would pay for a half-naked David Hasselhoff torpedo boat.


Dori brings in a guest for her movie recommendation, ''Society''. Dori has never watched it, Paulo watched one scene and fears this segment may have reached it's natural end.


As the world watches the new Michael J. Fox documentary we find out who he dated in the 80s.

That 80s Show | Paulo messes up a Prince story | Fast Times at Ridgemont High | Two 80s Truths and a lie.

It's just another Manic Monday, except it's a Friday, on That 80s Show as Paulo did not pre-read a story about Susanna Hoffs. To be fair to him, he was distracted by the pictures.


Dori has never watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Paulo thinks he has - or did he just watch ''that''scene 1000s of times?


Two 80s Truths and a Lie is back and it involves a Jason Bateman, Yoda and a waterbed.

That 80s Show | Jason Bateman may hate the 80s | How is Rob Lowe not cancelled | Going Ape! | Living on a Stranger Thing

Jason Bateman's hair is more 80s now than it was in the 80s and it bothers Dori.

We wonder how Rob Lowe didn't get cancelled, remind ourselves of the pain of a blown TV tube and Paulo watched a movie where Danny DeVito didn't have the worst comb over.

George Michael's Sydney mansion has Paulo revealing his bedroom attire and Milly Bobby Brown's engagement to Bon Jovi's son gives your favourite 80s duo a chance to roll out a Bazillion puns.

That 80s Show | Did Paulo get Diettered | Nipples dripping with symbolism | Roll the dice on Der Denver Klan.

Paulo and Dori mishear Dead or Alive lyrics and get spun around by Paul Rudd cosplaying as Pete Burns.


Dori's movie recommendation reminds Paulo of Adam Driver's Star Wars nipples which reminds him of Sylvester Stallone's nipples which reminds him of Dolph Lundgren's nipples.


Nipples.


We finish off with a look at board games based on 80s TV Shows - should have called them all ''Cash Grab or no Cash Grab''.

That 80s Show | Renaming Mick Hucknall | It's Serge | Cocaine Bear | An unknown Madonna.

Dori proves she's a real person by joining Paulo in studio but she brought Mick Hucknall with her.

We do the dance of joy because Bronson Pinchot is back as Serge in Beverley Hills Cop 4 and then ask, ''Does a Cocaine Bear shit in the woods?''.

If Paulo had watched it - he would have known.

We discover yet another George Michael documentary and find out about the nightclub that was started by New Order and hosted an unknown Madonna who was on ''Holiday'' in Manchester.

That 80s Show | Oscars of the 80s | Jamie Lee Curtis and Roger the Red Vested Thruster | 2 80s Truths and a Lie.

Hooray for (80s) Hollywood!!

Paulo and Dori revisit Oscars winners from the 80s, reassigning some of the statues and realising that for someone who studied film, Dori hasn't watched that many.

Jamie Lee Curtis' win prompted Paulo to go back on her filmography to recommend an 80s movie that involved leotards, vigorous aerobic thrusting and John's mini-Travoltas.

Finally 2 80s Truths and a Lie, involves banned Bangles, Robert on Robert violence and Kitty, Hey Kitty.

That 80s Show | A Tribute to Mark Pilgrim | Kevin Bacon is telling porkies | George Michael and The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

A sombre but celebratory start to That 80s Show as Paulo and Dori recount the impact Mark Pilgrim unknowingly had on this show. 

@MacAngelZA graciously allowed us to use his fitting tribute to Mark which can be found on these platforms:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paulo thinks Kevin Bacon is being foot loose with the truth, while both movie recommendations end up in space - only one of them almost ruined Mel Brooks?

A 10 hour loop of the sax from Careless Whisper is rated as ''M for Saxual Content'' and George Michael needs YOU to get him into the RNRHOF!

Finally - 80s movies had a weird fascination with invisibility, and an expected fascination with perverts.

I won't let the sun go down on me - Nik Kershaw.

Wake me up (Before you go go) - Wham!

Tarzan Boy - Baltimora.
