Thomas Dolby's tenure in the music industry has been extensive and filled with achievements, even if his days as a chart topping artist were rather short. He served as an engineer providing custom P.A. systems for well known post punk bands like The Fall, The Passions, and The Members.

Later, he played in Camera Club along with Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. He did session work for Def Leppard and Foreigner (he played keyboards on "Urgent"), and did production work for George Clinton and Joni Mitchell. As a solo artist, he had his biggest chart success with the left field hit "She Blinded Me With Science."

Like many offbeat hits from the 80's, "She Blinded Me With Science" made it to 5 on the pop charts because the video was all over MTV. The video portrays Dolby as patient seeking psychiatric help from an eccentric doctor played by Magnus Pike. During the course of the video, Dr. Pike is suddenly struck by the physical charms of his lovely assistant/nurse, and exclaims "My Heavens, . . . You're beautiful!" What is the nurse's name, as identified by the doctor's exclamation?

Bonus Question: Thomas Dolby's stint as a producer produced at least one unqualified gem, the record "Steve McQueen" (released in the U.S. under the substitute title "Two Wheels Good.") If you were ever a fan of The Sundays, Lloyd Cole, The Colourfield, or the Dream Academy's hit "Life In A Northern Town," you should track down a copy of this record. What was the name of the band responsible for "Steve McQueen"/"Two Wheels Good"?

World renowned operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti passed away recently. Pavarotti was beloved all over the world for his amazing vocal talents, his charisma as an entertainer, and his work as a humanitarian. He was a top selling artist who appeared on scores of recordings, both popular and classical. He was a member of The Three Tenors, a group that was responsible for the top selling classical album of all time. And, his work for charitable causes brought in record funds that went to relieve suffering in troubled spots around the world.

But he drew his share of criticism as well, much of which came from purists who felt his forays into pop culture diminished the stature of opera as an art form. He also drew fire from film critics for his starring role in a 1982 movie that is considered to be on the verge of unwatchable.

Whereas Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley managed the transition between the music and film worlds, it wasn't in the cards for Pavarotti. Oh well, may God rest his soul all the same. So what was the name of the film?

Bonus Question: Luciano Pavarotti set numerous records during his career. In 1988, he set a record at the Berlin Opera House that made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. What was the record setting achievement?

The song "Take On Me" by Norwegian synthpop trio A-Ha is considered to be one of the classic one hit wonders of the 80's. But die-hard fans of the band bristle at the idea of one hit status for the group, pointing out that they had several other hits in Europe.

For even bigger bragging rights, they might point out that the band is in the Guinness Book Of World Records for playing to the largest paying audience in the world (198,000 people at the Rock In Rio II festival in 1991). And they did have other chart hits in the U.S. as well. The band's second hit made it to 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won two MTV Video Music Awards. The video even picks up where "Take On Me" left off, with singer Morten Harket reverting to animated form as he steals away into the night. The next thing you know, the band is in a cathedral playing to an audience of mannequins. What was the name of the song?

Bonus Question: Borrowing a page from the Duran Duran playbook, A-Ha actually recorded the them song to a James Bond movie. Which one?

The theme for today's 80's trivia is sea creatures in honor of such famous songs like, "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's. After all, I've been known to throw a lobster or two on the grill during a cookout (right next to a pile of shrimp). And the song is one of the all time greatest party tunes, beloved by fans of 80's music and fans of seafood alike.

The song mentions plenty of other sea creatures besides lobsters. It includes references to clams, mussels, jellyfish, piranha, narwhals, catfish, and stingrays. It prompts me to wonder if the undersea world provided a theme for any other records from the 80's . . . In fact, it did!

The cover of Bananarama's first album shows the girls frolicking under the waves, accompanied by dolphins, tuna, halibut, and at least one lobster. What was the name of the album?

Bonus Question: If the B-52's and Bananrama can be said to have displayed a passing fixation with sea creatures, there was another band from the 80's that was downright obsessed. Song titles like "Fish Below The Ice," "Hammerheads," "Coelacanth & "Underwaterboys;" lyrics that remind us that "we could still end up with the great big fishes." What was the name of the band?
