Great Odin’s raven! An Anchorman sequel might finally be moving forward. Last year, Will Ferrell told EW.com that he and Anchorman director Adam McKay were working on a followup that would bring classy 1970s newsman Ron Burgandy into the 1980s. By the hammer of Thor! On Monday, Ferrell, in Australia promoting Land of the Lost, told Aussie radio hosts Jono & Dano (fastforward to the 8:20 mark) that he expected to meet with Paul Rudd and Steve Carell "next week" to discuss ideas…and salaries: "[Because] believe me, I’m not taking a pay-cut. No way!" Sweet Eli Whitney’s nose! While we make some phone calls to confirm these promising rumors, enjoy a little afternoon delight (and tell us what ’80s tune you’d like the news team to croon a cappella):
'Anchorman 2'? That is not a typo on the Teleprompter.

“Melt With You” – I can just hear Will Farrell singing “There’s nothing you and I won’t do…I’ll stop the world and melt with you”
“I’m so happy!!! I will lick you in front of everyone.”
Uncle Jonathan’s corn-cob pipe! This is awesome! I can’t wait!
I have no words.
Sufferin scacatash! I am soo stoked for this one! How about an acapella version of “I want a new drug” by Huey Lewis and the News?! Or Billie Jean? Hillarious! WOOHOO!
I’m in a glass case of emotion. I would love to hear “I Ran”.
Hot Pot of Coffee!!! This should be really funny…They have to do a version of “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield, “867-5309/Jenny” by Tommy Tutone, or “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell. Any of those would be classic.
Brian Fantana has to have the Flock of Seagulls hairdo for at least part of the movie, and the red leather jacket from Thriller…He’s the hip one.
A cappella “Karma Chameleon” or Howard Jones’ “Things Can Only Get Better”. Hands down.
I would love to hear them sing “Come on Eileen”- in overalls of course!
Superbowl shuffle?
i think itd be just stupid if christina applegate was not in this movie!
Something from Flashdance: What a Feeling or Maniac.
I can’t go for that by Hall and Oates please
i would love to see them sing “i touch myself” by the divinyls…but alas, that cd came out in the early 90’s
ooooh i think “do you believe in love’ (huey lewis) would be a good one for the gents to pull off. or even rock it up a little and do some ‘photograph” (def leppard) now that would be funny!
This is incredibly exciting. I’m hoping for “Take On Me” by A-Ha or “Sweet Dreams” by The Eurythmics.
Milk was a bad idea … But I bet this movie won’t be. For the group sing – “Owner of a Lonely Heart” by Yes or “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves.
OMG – amazing. Finally, my blog, http://www.stayclassy.net will have new material to work with!

You Give Love a Bad Name
Take on Me only if the whole newsteam is involved in a pencil-sketched animated sequence.
