There are many ways you can either pull a prank or be pranked on April Fool's Day. Some are innocent. Some require a combination of thought and physical prowess. And some will turn into an emergency room visit. Take it from a recovering prankster...know the limits of your prank.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video is important for 3 reasons tonight. First, Back In The Highlife was huge hit in the 80's. Secondly, it's from birthday boy Steve Winwood who celebrates his 64th tomorrow. And third, because the NBA playoffs are in full swing...

There's no question that when 55-year old Sharon Simmons walks by, heads will turn. But does she have the right stuff to become a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader? Apparently so.

Throughout music history, there have been stories of bands that recorded songs they never thought would be hits. "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds is one of those songs.

In 1987, Aerosmith released Permanent Vacation and it spawned hits like "Dude Looks Like A Lady", "Rag Doll", and "Angel".
