the Samples to start -- certainly one Dave'd prolly never play.

DHM: "It's Good to Be King," when Petty's formula ran itself dry.

now if someone would play Mel Brooks' "It's Good to Be the King" in an early-'80s set...

Or the response song, "It's Good to Be the Queen," by Sylvia. ("Pillow Talk" Sylvia, not "Nobody" Sylvia.)

HM to that snippet from Clerks. Doesn't hold up as great as one might like, but damn did I laugh the first time I saw it.

BOS Cracker! "Eurotrash Girl".

I wish I could remember. Sometimes when I'm web-surfing, I stumble upon images that are so great I immediately download them to my "Humor" file and Photoshop avatars out of them. This was one that I didn't remember having until I was looking through my folder for new visuals.

WHOA! Major BOS to "Bring It On," the lead track from Seal's '94 album, a record I listened to at least weekly during my senior year of college. Never would have expected to get this when there were 4 other singles. Thanks, Ginger!

Haha, I really liked the Pumpkins' "Landslide" when it came out.

indeed -- ditto the BOS and kudos Ginger. VHM SmashPumps de-goat-ing of "Landslide".

Crapton's almost level with the ground -- well, at least he admits it.

I never really "got" Enigma -- or why alt-rock radio played them. It's Eurodisco dressed up in different clothes. I feel like I'm in an Amsterdam coffe bar.
-
Bonnie working formula (but working it well) on "Love Sneakin' Up on You."

I believe I mentioned this before, that yodeling was illegally sampled from an aboriginal Taiwanese guy from the Amis tribe, a singer named Difang. In the late 1990s, he won by a suit against French pop artist Enigma for using a recording without permission of him and his wife singing a traditional drinking song as the chorus in the 1994 international megahit "Return to Innocence." Difang, an elderly man living in a remote village in Taitung county, was completely unaware of his song having been a major part of an international hit until the 1996 Olympics, when "Return to Innocence" was used as the theme song, and he heard it while watching the Olympics at home. He eventually sued Virgin and Sony and they settled out of court for enough money to allow Difang to set up a sizable endowment to benefit Taiwan aborigine culture.

Storyville? Another one we'd only get from Ginger, I reckon.

More of the Difang story (I'm cutting and pasting from my friend Carl's blog where he told the story):
After winning the settlement over the Enigma song, he went on to cut three albums that went platinum in Asia. Not bad for a man in his 80s who had never recorded an album before. The first of these, Circle of Life, was done jointly with Deep Forrest, a Dutch outfit similar to Enigma. Difang hated the resulting album, saying the synth sounds destroyed the impact of his singing. His two subsequent albums (called "Amis" and "Across the Yellow Earth") were straight up Amis folk music. A big part of his success was due to successful marketing in Japan. He spoke fluent Japanese (and no Mandarin or Taiwanese) from growing up in the colonial period, and he toured Japan repeatedly up until his death in 2002.

too true.
Gotta fly to a 10 meeting offsite, have fun in the 80's with the classic (I'll be shocked if it's not 80's).

BTW, I did figure out yer sig. Cute. Betcha that song shows up in a Morey set whenever that year appears. Lou Bega will be the Haddaway of 1999.
