Song: "Don't You Want Me" by Human League. Why: "Our kids were growing up, and we all thought the way Human League sang `Don't you want me, baby' was really cool. I came to one session where I was going to work with Elvis Costello, and I said, 'This is a great record, I love this!' And he says, 'That is exactly what I hate about music.' So I must say, I did go back into the closet on that one. But I thought they made some great records. It was a great little pop hit, and I just couldn't help liking it."
