One hit wonder for Danny Gokey from 1980:

Turning Japanese by the Vapors (song about masturbation)

or

With You I'm Born Again (Billy Preston &; Syreeta) so he could pimp the dead wife more...he could do a duet with himself!

Too bad Glambert wasn't born in 1980...Another one Bites the Dust would be hi-larious. I didn't realize it was 1985, so Big Country is out. But "Lovergirl" by Teena Marie would be perfect for little Megan

Can't Fight This Feeling, REO Speedwagon......or more songs to get the judges to complain about her "low register"........We Belong, Pat Benatar or Would I Lie To You?, Eurythmics.......if she wants me to vote 1,001 times instead of 1,000 then she would go with Eddie Murphy and "Party all the Time"

I can't stop thinking about Glambert singing "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John.

Or, he could pull a Noriega and do "Tainted Love".

My suggestions for year-you-were-born week (cause we know you're reading us final 8!):

Danny – 1980 – “Another One Bites the Dust”

Adam – 1982 – “Bad to the Bone”

Lil – 1984 – “Freeway of Love”

Kris – 1985 – “Loverboy”

Matt – 1985 – “I’m Goin’ Down”

Scott – 1985 – “A View To A Kill”

Anoop – 1986 – “Hip to be Square”

Allison – 1992 – “Smells Like Teen Spirit”

I want to see Adam do 80's big hair rock. My vote is for Def Leppard.

I'm so bummed about Megan's departure. Not only are we now deprived of the only female eye candy (Mrs. Sir Mix-a-Lot and the jail bait with troll hair don't count), but I would've loved to see her take on one of the aforementioned Madonna songs or Tina Turner's 'Private Dancer'.

Scott attempting 'Careless Whisper' would be quite VFTW worthy, as any attempt by him to come close to George Michael's range would be awesomely bad. As an added plus, it also contains one of the most profound lines in music history, "guilty feet have got no rhythm". That said, upon further review, the average pair of guilty feet have much more rhythm than the average Idol contestant. Seriously, most of them should sing in a straitjacket, which the exception of our lovely Megan of course. (Nice to see her cut it loose tonight, to show American and the stooges at AI what they'll be missing in the remaining weeks.)

My top picks for Gokey (1980) are:

Air Supply "All Out Of Love"

B-52s "Rock Lobster"

J. Geils Band "Love Stinks"

The Vapors "Turning Japanese"

Hall &; Oates "You've Lost That Lovin Feelin" (a likely choice)

Anybody got any great picks for Gokey or other contestants?

That mid 80's timeframe most of them fall into was the pinnacle of bubblegum pop. I could easily see a night that's fun for the viewers and a nightmare for judges seeking power vocals.

Allison is young enough to do a Paula song - i'd hook up dail-idolt o vote for her if she did that

also Glambert doing "get physical" - totally awesome
