Ah! It looks like mine didn't make the cut. At least I saw no mention of it here on these 6 pages;

Hocus Pocus by
Focus. What's the matter? Not an 80's band? Oh, right right. Evidenced by the actual TALENT.

Now, I'd heard mention of DEVO and closing songs...check out this
one that wraps up that awesome documentary Z-boys of Dog Town.

I guess some would label of Frank as a one-hit wonder with
this. I was gonna send a link to Dancin Fool, but that would be against my morals-does it work? No. Frank Zappa's Art and Top 40 don't belong together.

Great thread. I can watch this stuff on VH1 for hours. Must be getting old.
