Except that "Nothing But a Good Time" is on "Open Up and Say Aaahhh", (Enigma/Capitol Records, 1988) not "Look What The Cat Dragged In" (Enigma/Capitol Records, 1986)

In my misled years, I bought every album of theirs...yes, albums...on vinyl

Damn Jared, its been so long ago that I've forgotten. I thought Open Up was the album with "Every Rose has its Thorn" , I'm not doubting you're right, but hold on , cuz I just wanna make sure!

Nevermind you're right!!! I was thinking "I WANT ACTION" was on Open Up for some reason. Anyways, you are the music master JARED!!!!
