What´s So Strange About Me? off Every Day Is Like A New Beginning by Eight Dayz was featured as the opening scene music in the classic Santa Cruz video Wheels Of Fire back in 1987. Fun facts are that Eight Dayz had German Santa Cruz prorider Claus Grabke singing the vocals and that this album first came out in 1989 on German New Wind Records which only had 3 releases, Every Day Is Like A New Beginning being their last. Those were the Dayz.

Glenn Frey
Frey helped form the Eagles, playing guitar and keyboards. After the Eagles disbanded, Frey found solo success in the 1980s, especially with two #2 hits: the soundtrack songs "The Heat Is On" (from Beverly Hills Cop) and "You Belong to the City" (from the television series Miami Vice)

The bonus is a Jay-Z song from In My Lifetime Vol 1 (1997), The City Is Mine, produced by Teddy Riley and the saxophone is played by Chad Hugo (Neptunes)

Name and number
They appeared out of nowhere, as if they were transported from a parallel universe wherein blue-eyed soul was seen as rock & roll's salvation in the late 80s. Likeminded groups like Johnny Hates Jazz, Waterfront, Living in a Box, and Curiosity
Killed the Cat all debuted and disappeared at the same time.
Of the four Curiosity Killed the Cat leaned more towards the teen girl population that hung Smash Hits posters on their bedroom walls. The band's lightweight funk and photogenic looks rewarded them with mainstream acceptance in their native England but America didn't budge.

Italo disco stars pt.1
German Fancy (born Manfred Alois Perilano, July 7, 1946) was an instant hit when the single "Slice me nice" shot on top of the charts in 1984.
"He could not have hoped for a better beginning to a long and colourful career of international success."
Fancy has also recorded many hits for other artists using a variety of other names. Mostly frequently in the name of Tess or Ric Tess he has written music for Grant Miller, Linda Jo Rizzo, Marc Buchner, the Hurricanes, Mozzart, Timerider amongst many others. The famous producer and singer Bobby Orlando produced Fancy's songs. Bobby Orlando also produced songs for Pet Shop Boys, Divine (actor), Grant Miller, Claudja Barry, and many others.
