BOS "Celebrity Skin"  I love that Hole album.   At least three songs that got significant airplay and a couple of great deep tracks.

"Warriors, Come out to Play-ay!"

They used to play this clip at Warriors games, at least in the late 80's & into the 90's.

VHM Kinks on a low budget -- also far from rare but welcome nonetheless.

KFOG can never play too much Kinks if you ask me.

Here's a new question 7 from Ken Jennings that is music related:

7.  What unusual distinction is shared by these hit songs?  "As Tears Go By," "Boom Clap," "Celebration," "Chiquitita," "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da," "Heroes," "I'll Never Break Your Heart," "Ring of Fire," "She Loves You," "Shock the Monkey."

(I won't get the answer until next Tuesday, just so you know)

I think I have this one -- each of the songs was recorded in a non-English language by the original artist. I know that Heroes, She Loves You and Shock The Monkey were all recorded in German (as was I Want to Hold Your Hand, which Jennings doesn't mention). And a quick web search reveals that several of the others have been as well (Ring of Fire in Spanish, As Tears Go By in Italian, and De Do Do Do etc. in Spanish and Japanese).

ayup!

per KJ: "After the original artist recorded each one in English, he/she/they recorded a foreign-language version for another market.  Para otro mercado distinto!"

Rock Hudson dies ---> Commodores "Night Shift"

BOS for me, this is a song I can put on repeat and listen to many times in succession.  When the choir comes in at the end I invariably tear up a little

I like the Primitives quite a bit.  How often has this been heard on 10@10?  Woulda been my BOS the first time around.

Am I the only one who thinks that Dead Poets Society was a vastly overrated movie?  And that Robin Williams' Oscar nom was dubious at best.  (Now, I think when he won for Good Will Hunting he totally deserved it.)

I think you do have it Urth.  I'll verify next Tuesday.
