Neverending Story: Limahl
Run Run Away: Slade
The Power of Love: Huey Lewis and the News

Actually, now that I've had some time to think, yes, it was the Gap Band.

Don't mind me today, I'm having a tough time concentrating, due to the fact that my PHB is running around yelling at everyone.  :(   We lost an entire industrial-sized refrigerator last week.  :-[  :-[
The PHB has decided to yell at us all once an hour till it's found.  :'(  :'(
