1985

1985: Welcome to the  Party
Many of Soundwaves' early classic moments and most popular shows happened during 1985. Steven Kirk joined the cast, and the production would routinely destroy the studio in pursuit of the Greatest Show Ever. It was not uncommon to have the show take place on location at a theme park one week and unfold as a live outdoor dance party the next.

But the height of audacity was "Who Shot Gerold," a live stunt that set up a mystery before appearing to "shoot" the show's director Gerold Gorman offscreen. The local police responded swiftly, and management was not amused.

Other 1985 highlights were "The Investigation," the follow-up with Kirk portraying The Pink Panther's Inspector Clouseau (and summarily destroying the studio), many Soundwaves Exclusive music videos, including Madonna's "Into the Groove," and "The Trial," a faux movie trailer. "Election Daze" took place on the set of the previous night's election special.
