Miami Vice. Very Nice.

Boogie Shoes – KC & The Sunshine Band Winning Streak. Back in the day this was the main TV game show in Ireland. Might still be. Contestants would go on and spin a wheel or guess something and win money. The easy part was winning. The hard part was getting on. I think you had
