Also I know I voted against it in the last group but I have not been able to get Dog Police out of my head. It's so awesome that I don't think it even qualifies for my bad music thread

 

[Apoho Creed]

My Picks

Spoiler

1. Daryl Hall - Dreamtime
2. Elephants in Love
3. Everlasting Love
4. Freaks Come Out at Night
5. Get Used To It
6. Gimme the Night
7. Goin Back to Cali
8. Half a Boy and Half a Man

Goin Back to Cali is probably my 2nd favorite LL Cool J Song with Doin' It being 1 for me.

Do you know of any other new wave stuff with a comedic edge, the genre's really great for that sort of thing

I know Devo but there must be more
