Dave and Milt take a trip back to February 2nd, 1980, to review and critique the Billboard Top 10 hits of that week. They find Tom Petty's 'Don't Do Me Like That,' Rupert Holmes' 'Escape (The Pina Colada Song)', Kenny Rogers' 'Coward of the County,' and Michael Jackson's 'Rock With You,' among others. They also engage in playful banter and trivia about musical notes and historical facts, recap the top songs of the week, and make their substitutions for songs they feel deserve a spot in the top 10 but didn't quite make it.
