I don't recall hearing it specifically mean the less angry/more pop stuff until later in the '80s.Mr Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116623844291424658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-66147103102252396022016-07-27T01:36:00.126-07:002016-07-27T01:36:00.126-07:00New Wave?

I think the closest AM-I has gotten to new wave is Adam Lambert doing a mashup of Boy George & Culture Club as played by an Elvis impersonator (hmmm...inspiration...echoes of Dread Zeppelin?)<br /><br />McDonald's got zinged back in the '70s for stealing H.R. Puffinstuff's closet for all the live action cartoon characters like Grimace and the Hamburgler, as I recall.
