Poor old Johnny Ray ...

Dexy Dexy's Midnight Runners were right when they sang about broken hearts and love gone bad -- "toora loora toora loo-rye-aye..." You said it, buster!

At least I think they're depressed. Hell, they're dressed that way and all. It's not like we could make out a single word in that song.

Enough of that. This week's Stuck in the 80s podcast has you -- our fans -- contributing your own stories and songs of tragedy. And you had some beauties. Special nods to everyone who e-mailed us with your tales of woe. We chose our seven favorite and set them to the music you suggested.

And an added bonus: We have a FEMALE guest host on this week's show. You'll have to tune in to decide whether she's truly Stuck in the 80s.

And as always, drop us a comment with some feedback. And now, we return to our previously scheduled Dexy song: "You in that dress ... oh, my thoughts (I confess) ... verge on the dirty!"
