Beam me up!

Still searching for the answer (and can’t post any specifics about what confused me until the solution is officially revealed), but still can say what a cool grid! Wish me luck on the meta.. We have what we think is a starting point but you never can tell!

P.S. Hubs and I always work on these together, and I always submit that it wasn’t a solo solve

Beam me up!

Beam me up. Fun puzzle!

I’m beaming. That can be interpreted 2 ways!

Have to submit but it's a 100%er. Nice puzzle, and I'm looking forward to both Matt posting an MMMM style write up including a youtube link to he and his family covering the song, and the WELL ACTUALLY comment going up on crossword fiend at 12:08 PM on Tuesday explaining in great detail why the answer is wrong.

Beamed up! Two for two this weekend! And it's only Friday night!

Beam me up, but be careful where you point it...

Beam me up. Graduated from high school when that was popular. I guess that makes me..... old.

I just blasted it (from YouTube) and our African Grey REALLY got into it.

That bird likes to bop to music.

When I first saw the title, I had an idea what the mechanism would be. I was completely wrong - no connection at all. Thought that only happened with the solutions that came to me while I slept, but apparently I can come up with them while I'm awake too.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I had to scan a list of 80s #1 hits, I didn't just think of the answer, because I remember the song well.

This was the time when I was most into music, as a fan and as a musician, and there was so much going on in the music world that this kind of stuff was nowhere near my radar. Tl/dr: googled.

What I can say about pretty much any hit from the 80s is that I don't know it. I got the title -- i.e., I had actually heard of it -- but if I'd had to get it by listening rather than by solving a crossword, I would still be unbeamed.

Got it!

Submitted but 100% sure. Beam me up. So many things I want to say that would be spoilers!!

Totally.

Beam me up.

Just two in a row now, but I can always hope for number three next week! Fun puzzle.

Fun grid, and based on the grid’s contents and the fact that I was in college in the 80’s I thought it would be an easy click to get the meta. Nope. Totally stumped.

HA! 5 minutes later, now I see it. That’s clever. And an earworm.

Beam me up!

I had been out of high school for 14 years... so that makes me... older.
