Well, if it’s parodied, then you probably want Billy and the Beaters.

Speaking of the Buggles, Trevor Horn later went on to produce this mid-Eighties one-hit wonder. The lyrics of their one hit allegedly contained references to anal sex. Name the one-hit wonder.

“Doin Da Butt” (Sexy, Sexy) by EW?

I was looking for the song, but you’re right.

Rackensack –
Is that the Drive-In, in Winston-Salem? At least I think that was Easter’s original location.

Producer Mitch Easter was responsible for some of the best-known college radio albums of the 80s, including discs by R.E.M., Love Tractor, and of course his own band, Let’s Active.

Name Easter’s studio, in which many of these albums were recorded.

Was that the “The Drive In Studio”? That seems right, but I’m not sure.

What musician (a successful solo artist in his own right) released a single recorded with members of R.E.M., all playing under the name “Hindu Love Gods”?

That would be Warren Zevon.

Damn, I didn’t think I’d get a thing. . .

That’s Billy Vera and the Beaters. For what else are they known?

Frankie goes to Hollywood, already mentioned, is the correct answer. The song is Relax.

Speaking of Trevor Horn:

1. In what band did this genius display his talents himself, as a band member rather than a producer?
2. For what Two Hit Wonder was Trevor responsible in the 80’s? (they actually did an 2 or 3 decent albums, but only two songs were really hits)
3. Name the two hits for the band in question 2.

3. All good people, Owner of a lonely heart
