I know that games don't do well around here, but I was bored, the board was quiet, and here we are!
The title says it all, peeps! What song(s) definitely remind you of David and Maddie/Moonlighting?
Here's mine: Paula Abdul - Opposites attract
On to you! (and please don't leave me hanging. Throw at least one song out there)

Great idea, Sandra, it was getting way too quiet around here.
Obviously many of the songs they used in the show make me think of Maddie and David. When I hear Since I Fell For You, especially the version that plays while they dance in the bar, basically everything around me fades away and all I can think about is that scene.
A song that reminds me of them that was not used in the show is Billy Joel's Uptown Girl. I think the song came out in the later part of 1983, but it was probably still playing a lot on the radio when Moonlighting first aired. There's a great video on YouTube that somebody made for Uptown Girl using footage from Moonlighting. The lyrics are simply perfect for them.

Thanks for the input, Marlena! Excellent choices.
One more from me:
Frank Sinatra: Call me Irresponsible (from David's POV)

Hmmm. Great question! How about one of my all-time favorite tunes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYqdvNni7KkThis was my anthem during my ill-fated pursuit of a young lady in high school! But I think it definitely applies to our two antagonists.

Sandra, Happy belated Easter to you, too! The flavor is different, but I think everything is dead-on, completely David-and-Maddie appropriate about "Why Can't This Be Love?" by Van Halen, a band that may be far more integral to Moonlighting than one might initially suspect. The evidence: - GGC originally wanted David Lee Roth to play Richard Addison.
- In TSALR, David is drunk in Maddie's BMW to the blaring sounds of DLR's "Yankee Rose."
- When a more polished alternative enters the Moonlighting scene and threatens to take over Dave's "front man" status in Maddie's life, his name is none other than... Sam.
Coincidence? Boink

The flavor might be different, but I love that kind of flavor! Thanks for the input, Boink! I'm just sad I didn't think of it myself, as I love Van Halen. Eddie and Alex are originally Dutchies, like myself :-) So sad that Eddie passed away last year... I had no idea how tied in Van Halen was with Moonlighting, so thank you for enlightening me. These little facts are really interesting!

During the hot-n-heavy month...
Taylor Swift's "We Are Never EVER Getting Back Together"
This is Maddie...every single morning.

Lol, too funny!
I still find it hilarious that Maddie was unable to stay away from David during that month and had to fly all the way to Chicago to get it together. I mean, doesn't it make you wonder if he really is THAT good in bed? No? Just me? Okay... ;-)

Oh thank God! Hahaha! I know I tend to go off on a roll when my mind gets dirty. I was a bit worried about my nickname around here changing from mere 'Unicorn' to 'Dirty Sandy.' Ha!
