Lyrical content aside, I didn't think that song was really that odd a choice either. I'd forgotten how '80s it sounded.

I think it has less to do with the "sound" of the song, and more to do with the fact that the band really stands out on the show.

Wow Sean, never heard of that before. I cringed. I laughed. Gotta at least give Trent some credit for looking disgusted the whole time.

Trent is the least "80's dude" looking member of that group. Well, aside from that leather jacket.

But ugh, how I do not miss that phony sax/trumpet in many 80's pop songs.
