One of the greatest ballads of the 80s, Still Loving You by the Scorpions has been a fan favorite since it debuted in 1984. In this Alexis and Burch get into a spirited conversation about the necessity and purpose of mix tapes. Scorpions were a true radio and concert staple through the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Alexis is such a gorgeous girl and her describing her recount of how she rejected men by swiping left or simply destroying a suitor's tape in an instant without any second thought reminds me of how a cat plays with a mouse and the mouse is in dire peril and about to be eaten and she is thoroughly enjoying it. Burch's reaction to the song is more in line with how I feel when I hear it and seems very authentic. Keep up the good work, you two.

Growing up in the 80's and actually living in what was then WEST Germany, their song 'Wind Of Change' was absolutely ICONIC and for me will always be synonymous with the ending of the Cold War, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the reunification of Germany they are after all, a German band. They performed in 1999 at the 10th year anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
