Not even close! I was so focused on "Canadian Top 10" that I got tunnel vision, and kept looking for a lesser known hit by the likes of Bryan Adams or Corey hart.
I don't even know this song. I thought I knew the hits from that album, but either it didn't get airplay in So Cal in 1985 or whenever this was, or it fell through the cracks. And wow - Don Henley's hair in this video is so....I can't find the right word for it. Frighteningly amazing?
Even if you chose The Boys of Summer, I might not have gotten it. I haven't played all the rounds, but I am really bad at this.
Maybe it’s not as well known a song as I thought but it was huge in Canada. The first thing I noticed when I pulled up the video yesterday was Henley’s hair but funnily enough I don’t remember it standing out in 1989.
In 1989 his hair didn’t stand out - wait that song was 1989? No wonder I never heard it. I was a junior in college and only listened to 70s funk and punk rock.
I do know “The Age of Innocence” well and “Heart of the Matter” slightly. I can’t remember if it was at the exact time they came out or later though. And as a recovered mullet wearer I have empathy for ex-mulleters.

Same here!
Granted, I did purposely try to point people in that direction with my first hint!

That would explain it then. Have you heard either of the other singles? “The End of the Innocence” and “Heart of the Matter”?

As suspected, I had zero idea. I don’t even know who Don Henley is!
He was the drummer and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles
Thanks. I’ve never actually paid much attention to them which would probably explain why I was completely in the dark 🤪
I wouldn’t have guessed Don Henley! I was also thinking Bryan Adams 😂
