Yes of course I'm using peeps idea. :gomez:
If there already is a thread, then just merge and we'll all move on

1) Tainted love -- Soft cell
2) Dance hall days -- Wang Chung
3) C'mon Eileen
4) Safety Dance
5) Do you really want to hurt me -- Culture Club

P.S. Pearl Jam answered a Peeps question. Have they ever answered one of yours?
