A young couple, John and Mandy find KARR buried in the beach. It is remarkably still in one piece. John uses his tow truck to pull out the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am and drive him home.
John uses voice command to play music.
KARR selects "TAPE" and plays the Pointer Sisters' Jump For My Love and then Laura Branigan's Self Control.
Both are great hit songs except they are anachronistic because those are from 1984. He should have played songs from 1982 when he was last seen crashing down to his supposed doom. He remained buried for two years.
The other way they could have fixed this was to have KARR select "RADIO" and the problem would have been solved.
I wish they had used Prince's Little Red Corvette and Laura Branigan's version of Gloria.
Other possibilities: I Melt With You by Modern English and Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.
I want to know what 1982 hits you would have liked to hear on KARR's tape deck.
