“Walking On Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves (f/ Robert Bacon)

This week, we're joined by Internet Supreme Court dishonorable judge Robert Bacon to put Katrina and the Waves’ 1985 hit "Walking on Sunshine" on trial. Is it the ultimate feel-good anthem, or has its overuse in ironic movie moments doomed it to a lifetime of unintended comedy? We explore the band’s journey from their early struggles to their Eurovision triumph, unpack the punk influences hidden beneath the song’s sunny exterior, and share personal stories that prove this track has a strange way of showing up at the worst possible times.
