Name that 80s tune: 'Tesla Girls'
Wondering what that mystery tune was in last week's Stuck in the 80s podcast?
It's "Tesla Girls" by the vastly underrated Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, from their 1984 album "Junk Culture."
It's a shame that in the United States, OMD is pretty much known only for "If You Leave." I wouldn't even put that song in their top 5 tunes.
Here were last week's Stuck in the 80s Name that 80s tune winners: Derek Lane-Waters of Rochester Hills, Mich.; Anibal Rodriguez, Dennis from Germany, and Brad Williams from L.A.
Stay tuned for a new podcast episode later today: The dreaded "Vegas Recap" edition.
