Not sure if we'll get a clue for tomorrow. Also wondering if we'll get a "Fool" set on Tuesday.
-
And the early LN suggestion, Sweet's "Love Is Like Oxygen".
-
pre-set: "Rumor has it" -- It seems to me KFOG doesn't play Adele quite so often these days. Making it more pleasant when she shows up occasionally.

TOTHK - Warren Zevon "Lawyers, Guns And Money"
(http://zerode.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/warren-zevon-excitable-boy-464707.jpg)
-
TOTHK: Zevon, "LG&M". Hardly rare, but at least it ain't "Werewolves".
-
Stay Alive game commercial ---> Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive"
(http://www.darwinsgamecloset.com/images4catalog/StayAlive1978.jpg)

-
Vincent Price commercial for Stay Alive game -- "Stayin' Alive" uber-LN1; SOOO much more interesting pop/disco/cheeze from '78.
-
And the early LN suggestion, Sweet's "Love Is Like Oxygen".
That's always been a fave of mine, so I hesitate to call it LN, but can't argue it's made fairly regular appearances dating back to the Morey era.
The late Warren Zevon, not a bad Monday am TOTHK, but if we don't hear Werewolves, this seems to be the next most likely suspect.
ETA: Were I to choose a deeper cut from Excitable Boy, either Nighttime in the Switching Yard or Tenderness on the Block would be prime contenders, with Accidentally Like a Martyr a close third.
-
BOS Todd, who is Godd. "All the Children Sing"!
-
Todd Rundgren "All The Children Sing"
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51k8Y2Vuw3L.jpg)
-
Todd, All the Children Sing, from Hermit of Mink Hollow.
Strong bustout likelihood here, just not his strongest work, even on this record. I'd go for Too Far Gone or perhaps You Cried Wolf as a deeper selection.
VHM Police, So Lonely.
-
Todd, All the Children Sing, from Hermit of Mink Hollow.
this didn't show up when I searched this board (haven't checked the shraytabase yet) so I guess it's been a good long while.
ETA: Dave played it once in 2006, so it's a serious rarity, somewhat surprisingly.
VHM Police, "So Lonely"
-
The Police "So Lonely"
(http://www.williesimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/police.jpg)
-
Charlies Angels dolls --> EC "This Year's Girl" LOL and BOS2.
-
Charlie's Angels dolls ---> Elvis Costello "This Year's Girl"

LN2 "Candy's Room", AL's go-to Bruce tune in '78.
-
Bruce Springsteen "Candy's Room"
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/af/BruceSpringsteenDarknessontheEdgeofTown.jpg)
-
If we want to discuss 78 LNs, I'd nominate Candy's Room in a heartbeat. This was Dave's go-to Springsteen song from Darkness, and I have had my fill of it.
ETA: Go-to JINX!!!
ETA2: Can't speak for AL's frequency, but Candy's Room appears in the Shraytabase 13 times, 5 of which are classics. Thus solidifying its Katrina status, to say nothing of LN-ness.

Ted Kennedy on health care ---> Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street"

I would concur. R/ "Love Is Like Oxygen", I would be gobsmacked if Sugar Ray's sampling for "Mr. Bartender" appeared in a 2003 set.
-
uber-LN3 "Baker Street". Am I crazy or was that Ted Kennedy speech from 1980?
-
Ted Kennedy on health care ---> Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street"
While it's one of my favorite songs of the late 70's, this is definitely LN.

And I have to laugh (and agree w/) at DW's comment r/ Bruce in the Snipes: "Can't we just have one set w/o Bruce"?
-
National Lampoon's Animal House (John Belushi smashes Stephen Bishop's guitar) ---> Nick Lowe "I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass"

-

he does appear frequently. But his catalog is huge enuf that we should NEVER hear a Bruce LN. Sadly, we do, frrequently.
BOS3 Stephen Bishop getting his geetar smashed in Animal House. BOS4 Nick Lowe, "Breaking Glass"
-
Here's my BOS vote (unless Undertones should appear among the remaining couple of songs).
BOS Nick Lowe, (I Love the Sound of) Breaking Glass.
-
BOS5 H&O "It's a Laugh", which was a request of mine once upon a time... a great underrated 45 of theirs.
-
Leslie Nielsen clip ---> Daryl Hall & John Oates "It's A Laugh"
(http://991.com/NewGallery/Hall--Oates-Its-A-Laugh-203257.jpg)
-
Here's my BOS vote (unless Undertones should appear among the remaining couple of songs).
BOS Nick Lowe, (I Love the Sound of) Breaking Glass.
Spoke too soon:
BOS It's a Laugh, H&O. Longtime fave, and one that we have definitely not heard too often (although not a bustout).
-
clip ---> Hall & Oates "It's A Laugh"
also Animal House. Not Leslie Neilsen. I take it you've never seen AH?
Ah-nuld w/ david Steinberg --> "Are We Not Men?" ROTFL and BOS6
-
Arnold S. / David Steinberg ---> Devo "Jocko Homo"
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Are_We_Not_Men_We_Are_Devo%21.jpg)
-
In spite of the three LNs (and to be fair, those 3 are all decent songs in their respective ways), this set seems to have worked out quite well.
-
Coneheads!
-
Despite 3 egregious FF/LNs, this turned out pretty OK.
(ETA: JINX!!)
and we end with the Coneheads. Consume mass quantities!

i'll say it again, that cover looks like Joe Buck wearing Jazn Mrazz's hat.
-
BOS tie: H&O and Devo; VHM Nick Lowe, Warren Zevon.

Ted Kennedy on health care ---> Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street"
While I understand other people's point of view, this song will never be LN for me.
How to describe what it does to me? The current term of the art on this message board,
sledgehammer, hardly seems adequate.
For most of the spring of 1978, I ping-ponged around the Northeast and Midwest, attending as
many different frisbee tournaments as I could. Then in June I headed straight for an event in
Vancouver, B.C. After that I made my way down the West Coast for my first visit to the Bay
Area and San Francisco (a story in itself). My trip back included a visit and a brief stay in the
Twin Cities for yet another tournament, before I finally returned to New England.
I put more than ten thousand miles on my thumb that year. I got hundreds of rides in hundreds
of vehicles, and the radio was on in many of them. I heard Baker Street just about every
day that summer, if not multiple times per day. It's not far from the literal truth to say that I
heard that song everywhere.
So when I hear those opening flute notes, especially if I'm not expecting them, I am transported
instantly back to that time and I vividly remember the feeling of being in a stranger's car, traveling
a stretch of highway I'd never seen before, heading to an often equally unfamilar destination.
Few other songs evoke such a powerful reminiscence for me.

I've mentioned before that this song resonated strongly for me as an 8 year old, and as a 43 year old. Great songs do that.

Great story!
While I have a number of great stories from that summer, there is another which is music-related
and concerns a song that has made just one appearance on 10@10. If that song is played again,
I'll tell my tale that goes with it.
