[Passacaglia]

Maybe the clue is a trick, and we're supposed to find the opposite of "nearly A-Z"

Should establish a general timeframe (along with the TV clue in my reply to DD).

Pass, not trying to be that tricky. Pumpy was on the right track (though not quite correct).

Boyz II Men -- Motown Philly or It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday?

*static* has got to be a pretty big clue.

Ah... how about:

B52's -- Channel Z?

[Swaggs]

That's got to be it. I don't remember this, but from wikipedia:

"Channel Z" is featured in the episode "Blood and Remembrance" (1989) of Doogie Howser, M.D., when Doogie and Wanda break up.

Yay...finally an end to this sucky attempt at a puzzle.


(nice job, Swaggs)

I think that it was a good puzzle. I had just never heard of the song.

The "static" clue gave it away for me.
