It’s An 80s Thing #45 – Down The Rabbit Hole (80s #1 hits in Germany)

After providing data for hundreds of Soundwaves 10@10 episodes, Intern Steve steps into the spotlight with a deep dive into All Things 80s. Almost every episode will be two parts … each half a distinctly different subject from its counterpart … seemingly unrelated pop culture and music topics that (more often than not) will have a connection!

Today, we’re going to hear the story of how one of our artists survived his mother’s miscarriage. No joke. We’re going to hear a song inspired by David Bowie’s A Space Oddity (and it’s probably not the one you think) and we are going to focus on one the most passionate subjects of our lifetime. This question simply asked: Hey Germany, what the hell is your fascination with David Hasselfhoff?
