Missed the spinning of the wheel, but this sounds like the Eagles' version of In the City, which would make it '79.
ETA: Note that you never ever hear Joe Walsh's solo version of ITC anymore.

Somebody played it recently -- Ginger?
Not an auspicious start tho'. Petty ain't helping.
Wow, Jimmy Carter could be talking about Paris Hilton. BOS Kinks.
-
can a segue be a Katrina? "We have all COME together" into "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now". VHM M&W, but really Dave...
-
oooh! Spirogyra, "Morning Dance" -- BOS2 and proxy of cairo. The birth of "smooth jazz".

Definitely the best band named after algae.

Yikes! Toto's "Hold The Line" makes 2 appearances today in 2 diff years.

OK, here's My Two Songs:
Hold the Line - Toto
Love Is Like Oxygen - Sweet
Whaddyathink?

I'm starting a neo-punk band called "Pond Scum", then.

ya didn't think we'd escape '79 Police-less, did ya. This better win BOS, since Big Rick is playing Police songs... nothing but Police songs from 5 to 8.

So we can be completely sick of 'em, if we aren't already. This particular song is cool though, if nothing else, because the guitar part makes you do a painful stretch to reach the top note of "the riff".

BOS3 "Ring My Bell" -- but this is an odd mix, no?

Yeah, one of their better songs in my book as well. So if we hadda go there...
My BOS likely to go to Ring My Bell, probably the only disco we'll hear today.

The guitar part's up front. Sounds like a mix for radio stations that didn't wanna play songs that were "TOO DISCO".
-

The version of the WKRP theme that was in the medley didn't sound like the mix that appeared on the actual show either--and we know Dave has it--we've heard it.

Hey Hey Hey St 'Trina.
-
Nice TV medley ... brings back lots of memories!!
-
I don't like Wednesdays, er, Mondays.

Good song, but I agree... wrong day.
By the way, were the Boomtown Rats just a one hit wonder? Or did they have any other hits, or good songs?

At least one other that I remember hearing--Rat Trap--but IDLM was their big success.

They were much bigger in the UK ("Rat Trap" was a #1 single there, I do believe). "She's So Modern" is another of their "hits".

Love Is Like Oxygen - Sweet
Whaddyathink?
OK. I have to admit I was misremembering the Sweet tune, because I thought they were both in 12/8. Humming it now, I see that it isn't. So I'll just go with "they have prominent 'clink clink clink' piano parts". Phooey.

Thanks!!
By the way, someone named Mike won the pop quiz this morning by naming a lot of record labels (fairly tough quiz I thought). But I'm guessing it's not one of the 10@10 Mikes or we would have heard the news.

IDLM was a UK #1 too -- they had 11 Top 40 singles there between '78 and '82.

And I'll admit that I wish they had played Love Is Like Oxygen. It's one of my favorite songs from back then.

Wow, Jimmy Carter could be talking about Paris Hilton. BOS Kinks.
Heard the whole set in my car.
First thought...what an awesome segue from Jimmy talking about people searching for meaning into "Catch Me Now I'm Falling".
Can you imagine how utterly ridiculous it would be if W started talking about people searching for meaning?
-
second thought, when have we ever heard a 1979 TV theme medley like that? It was 12-15 themes at least. That alone makes this a set o'week candidate in my book.

I couldn't remember hearing that montage before either--I think Dave spent some time over the weekend cobbling that together. Although I'm still of the opinion that wasn't the original WKRP theme that was in there.

How about Genesis's "Misunderstanding" or Sly's "Hot Fun" for 12|8 waltz-rock riffs, then?
PS: "Up All Night" is the other Boomtown Rats song that I hear a lot 'round these parts.

Or maybe Billy Joel's Piano Man (although that could be in 6/8--not sure)?

Yikes! Toto's "Hold The Line" makes 2 appearances today in 2 diff years.
just checked, Dave has always played this in 1978 until now, at least according to my Db.

I tried to count during the replay--it was somewhere over 20. But some of those shows must have been on their last legs in '79--The Jeffersons? Alice? One Day at at Time? All of those were running when I was in high school--how much longer did they last?
Actually I just looked--all started in '75 or '76 and all ended in '85. So they still had a good run to go in '79.
