Robert Palmer "Addicted to Love"

If you want to kill 90 minutes of your life, stream the '80s flick Cocktail on Netflix. Watching Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown juggling liquor bottles much to the delight of the ladies (and their large hair-sprayed '80s hair) was embarrassing enough, but now Netflix keeps suggesting equally bad movies because I watched Cocktail. I almost felt sorry for Cruise for having to dance and mouth the words of "Addicted to Love" while making martinis in the movie. The song, by the way, wasn't included on the movie's soundtrack. 

The Beach Boys - "Kokomo"

22 Years

That's the number of years between #1 hits for The Beach Boys. "Good Vibrations" hit #1 in 1966 followed by "Kokomo" in 1988. Tom Cruise certainly played a role in breaking that drought as "Kokomo" was prominently featured in the movie Cocktail.

Bobby McFerrin - "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

The woman who drove the school bus when I was in middle school was named Sue.  Sue had a bit of a lead foot, frequently shouted at other drivers, and had a penchant for wearing dark sunglasses.  Each Friday during the fall of 1988, Sue would also play the cassette single of Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" over and over and over.  She said that it helped to calm her.
