Tour de Force (38 Special album)
Tour de Force is the sixth studio album by the southern rock band 38 Special, released in 1983. A music video was made for the track "Back Where You Belong", which featured the band portraying detectives who are, humorously, trying to find a missing woman in a light-hearted homage to the TV drama Hill Street Blues.

gollark: > On Sunday, baidicoot declared that the first demo would be released soon-ish (but not now). Although the engine was ready, some minor features like controls needed to be added before it met with the lord's approval. But, due to baidicoot's phenomenal genius, the demo was finished in just a few hours, uploading “epeleptic demo” to his GitHub at 2020-04-12 16:48 UTC+0100. This was the first release of EWO, v0.1.0.0, also known as “EPILEPSY DEMO”.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: True, true.
gollark: I've read two and heard of one other dystopia novel built around the "disputes settled with single combat" thing, which is kind of a bad sign for the idea of allocating resources that way.
gollark: But... otherwise yes.
