I clearly thought too hard about this, because I made my own playlist!
Real quick, here is a suggestion from my list:
âSeparate Waysâ by Journey is a glorious, hard-rock break-up song whose lyrics could easily be told from the perspective of both Dina and Floyd (her ex-boyfriend).
Seriously, listen to this:

Hello @MissInkBlot, before I add another music I wanted to ask you, whatâs your favorite soundtrack to the 1989 Batman? 
Hereâs my pick for a music from the 80s, this was my favorite song when I was little, âSomewhere out thereâ from An American Tails.
And hereâs Music of the night, from The Phantom of the opera, this was part of the original Broadway from the late 80s. This song is for Tommy/Batman from All Star game.

Starting with the first half of my response today, but will be back to finish up tomorrow! 
@LDFM - Ooh, your second post certainly didnât disappoint! I hadnât heard âDonât Stop Believinââ in a very long time, and hearing it again makes me remember how beautiful a song it is. That introâs swoon-worthy, and does reflect Carl and his hero identity in message and overall feeling, I agree! And for Dina, considering her ex and her boyfriend really are fighting for her love Karate Kid-style when we start the game, âLove is a Battlefieldâ is such a good match - ticks off the boxes on many levels, there! I forgot about Metalhair, lol! But can imagine âFade to Blackâ drifting out of Tommyâs car window (or his having it play in the background on his way to town with the rest of the Breakfast League), as well. Have a feeling Katie could be a fan of the song, too, and despite the trouble finding a pick for her, your choices have been fantastic! I felt like breaking out the 80s slang of approval! 
@Applejack - What are you doing to meee? Every time I think Iâm free of that song, it keeps dragging me in⊠that songâs going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the weekend now! 
Iâd be lying if I said I didnât enjoy it, though⊠at a minimum, that wet hair flip at 3:20 makes me laugh whenever I see the video, and it is, of course, a perfect song for a team like this one. You get not one, but both thumbs up, as expected!
@Reaganfan78 - Oh, my goodness, that song - the nostalgic hits all over again! Full disclosure: the adorable baby at 3:45 in is a perfect depiction of how I feel when listening to it, and would totally be my entry for the mood check thread right now. Shame on you, @Reaganfan78, now Iâm stuck wanting to ask Sam if heâd mind recreating that scene (not to speak for everyone, but this mod, at least, wouldnât mind dancing on the stairs 
). 
As for your new additions, I promise to check them out, and answer your question tomorrow!
Ooh, and I canât wait to respond to all of your songs, @HubCityQuestion, @capo-mage, @Razzzcat, and @BCDC! With choices like that, you made not only my Monday, but both my week and weekend, as well! 
To add, it seems this weekâs theme, and the show, itself, really, has me too bubbly (you all really should run away to spare yourselves, lol). In light of that, sharing a few more songs. 
Carl gets âWaiting on a Friendâ for that great save of his in Episode 5:
Dina gets âUptown Girlâ because I already mentioned it:
Katie gets âBad Reputationâ
Tommy gets âBadâ (âSmooth Criminalâ would work, too, so pretty much âall things MJâ lol)

Annnd, on to Day 2! 
@HubCityQuestion - Aww, yes! WW 1984âs trailer is such an excellent blend of visuals and music - definitely perfect for this. Thank you for adding it, and being so on the ball, HCQ! The songs shared this week make me feel like weâre creating a recipe, and each of you know just what spice to add to the mix, and as for yours I like how that bandâs name fits in well with our current circumstances in having to adapt to our own new order of being and daily existence. 
Itâs quite appropriate on a good many levels!
@capo-mage - Aww, you and I were on the same wavelength with Carl. âUnder Pressureâ was in my head, too, when thinking about him and how one of the first things he thought to write down for his assignment was the desire to do the right thing. Iâd not have thought of Aerosmith for Dina, but after listening to the song, I can see that. It brings to mind the scene where Rod confessed the plans for the future he saw with her, while âBeat on the Bratâ is perfect for Tommy, both in sound and lyrics! Katieâs songs match her well in both overall feeling, and oddly enough, music video, too (âVenusâ has a woman dressed up like the devil in it, and has me thinking about what Katie reveals in Ep. 6, along with the conflict between good and evil she deals with for her decisions). âChangesâ rounds things out in such a graceful way that I think the group would enjoy as an overall theme, for sure! Going outside of the 80s isnât a big deal, by the way. With choices like that, who can complain?
I didnât know The Breakfast Club was your favorite movie, but considering our previous conversations on covers, that makes me want to ask what your thoughts wouldâve been on my sharing the Pitch Perfect version of âDonât You Forget About Meâ - yay or nay for approval? And thank you for your kind words! 
@Razzzcat - Aw man, the combination of The Gap Band, The Go-Goâs, Tears for Fears, Run DMC, Prince, and Annie Lennox? Honestly, how can one go wrong with those beauties? Thank you for the added key! I was going to ask earlier if there any specific characters you wanted each on to apply to, or if they were all supposed to apply to the entire group. The latter would work, too, in my opinion, since I can see how each one could be related to them at different times. For example, âEverybody Wants to Rule The World,â makes me think of the night scene where they uncover the villainsâ identities, while, say, âYou Dropped a Bomb on Me,â is what comes to mind when thinking of Freddie/Carlâs face each time they kept revealing their hero identities. Or, to better fit your key, Sam, yes, after, upon each dice roll, finding out what would come of those dastardly plans he had in store against our heroes in Episode 6! I adore your choices, and will be sure to add them to their respective characters in tomorrowâs list!
@BCDC - It looks like you had as much fun with this idea as I did, so Iâm glad you were able to create your own playlist for it! More and more, I find myself wanting to do that for movies I watch, both old and new, so I completely understand. Have you created anymore for the other DC Originals? And as for that song, my goodness, listening to it has me head over heels for it all over again. 
I like it best for Dina and Floyd, too, versus the option of the âIâm giving you back your promise ringâ scene with Rod. Floydâs genuine care for her, along with his being willing to fight for her, of course, really came through, and I agree, the lyrics for that song are perfect! I wouldâve never been able to choose a better one than what you came up with.
@Reaganfan78 - Iâm sorry for the delay on your question - I had to wait to answer because, to be honest, I didnât know yet, myself! After listening to everything, though, I think⊠past the usual Batman theme, which will always stand out on top, my favs ended up being Decent Into Mystery and Photos/Beautiful Dreamer. One reason being that they remind me of music from other movies - the first one reminds me of Harry Potterâs âSomething Wicked This Way Comes,â while the second brings Edward Scissorhandsâ scores to mind. 
Whatâs your favorite?
You liked An American Tail, too? It was such a good movie, wasnât it? I loved it growing up, so Iâm glad you added that song to the list! Was that sweet-sounding choice for the full group, by the way? Ooh, and The Phantom of the Operaâs one of those sources of inspiration thatâs so well done you really can find a way to apply it to anything, isnât it? Not much can accomplish that, and I think thatâs what I like most about it, personally, along with it just being a tremendous joy to listen to on its own. I like applying to Tommy/Batman, and find it well-suited to Xavier, too, because of how he alludes to wanting to bring his own personality to the character, not going the usual route of locking bad guys up, but going the extra mile to, well, in some cases, make sure they donât come back at all, lol.
As for your most recent post⊠ahem: Again, shame, shame!
Clearly, someoneâs lookinâ to earn themselves a bout of detention, I see!
Also, shame on me for not double checking the lock on my office door. 
Never again!
Aw man, itâs been so long since I saw anything related to Hulk Hogan. I used to watch wrestling with my dad (well, and still occasionally do), so thatâs a blast from the past, and then some! Thank you so much for the laugh and the great picks! And to your question⊠What am I gonna do? Probably ask if eating my veggies counts as eating my vitamins, cuz the latterâs out of stock in my house right now. And then hand him a new shirt to make sure he abides by my officeâs rules/guidelines, because yes, even he must abide by those.

Dispense them however you see fit. Dealers choice. I kept changing my mind on a couple anyway trying to separate the characters from the showâŠfrom necessary 80âs trax

All great choices. 80âs is my wheelhouse, but I love every genre. A lot of tunes I wanted to use were 79â. Like My Sharona by the Knack, Just missed it by 1 yr. Also wanted to use Cars by Gary Numan. Also 79â.

@Razzzcat - Youâre much too kind to me, friend.
@capo-mage - Thatâs the trouble I had, too. >,< Like I mentioned above, I realized quickly that knowing songs off the top of my head was different from knowing their release dates. Still, I appreciate your mentioning your runner ups. Theyâll be getting a good listen to this afternoon!
This weekâs theme is a go, everyone, and you can find said thread⊠here!
