Billy Ocean and Aqualung:

She's Aqualung, and besides an obvious Tull fan, she holds the distinctive honor of one day being the only human skeleton the future inhabitants of Earth will discover. All the others will be underwater when the oceans move. But for now, she fancies herself a crimefighting superhero, and although powerless and relatively inactive, she's never far from her trusted enforcer, Billy, who can strip an elephant to its bones in seconds. Neither are sure of where Billy came from. He may be alive, he may be dead, but in reality he is just an amnesiac Pac Man ghost named Inky. And since there are no more power pellets around, all he can do is follow. So he follows Aqualung, the only person who doesn't dissolve at his touch. There's a story here, but unfortunately there is not room to tell it on a $100 piece of wood. Take this sucker home and finish it for me.
