Title: 1980 on Mon 3/28/05
Post by: RGMike on March 28, 2005, 07:33:28 AM
I've got a hunch about Blondie, "Call Me". But I'd love to hear Boz Scaggs, "Look What You've Done To Me".

BTW I got an email from Bob, who says "Hi" to all.

HI, BOB!!!!

I hope he's been enjoying our ravings and musings of late.

Safe to assume that this'll be a Crowded House year in Dave's house?

Agreed that "Call Me" is likely, but I'd also love to hear Boz.  And "Pilot of the Airwaves," which I recognize has no chance.  Was Nicolette Larsen's "Lotta Love" this year?

for some reason, i can never remember what kate bush is singing in this song. i always have to look it up. must be that gabriel block i have. this song is on the fence. it doesn't make me want to slit my wrists, but it scares me.

nice rhyme, bad grammar:

"I looks could kill, they probably will."

nice grammar, bad rhyme:


"I looks could kill, they probably would."

VHM anyway, though.

Can anyone tell me what Mick thinks this girl is?

"a sweet sweet ____."  

If he's saying 'virgin' how come he makes it rhyme with 'fusion'?

I always thought he was trying for "beauty" but it came out sounding like "booty" or "boojie".

I missed essentially the whole set due to workplace hassles; what Mick and Paul did I miss?  Returned in time for "Rough Boys."

Stones, "She's So Cold". You didn't miss Paul Simon; the intro to "Late in the Evening" was played (oddly) underneath a clip of Bill Murray from Caddyshack.  Speaking of whom, I saw Groundhog Day the other nite for the first time since it was in theaters.  What a great film. It has aged very well.

But "Boulevard" is not exactly Jackson's finest hour.

He played "She's So Cold" which prompted my lyrical query.

Then he played John Lennon "Watching The Wheels".

From the Kings website, thekingsarehere.com (!):

Hey Judy, get Trudy
You said to call you up if I was feeling moody
Hey little Donna, still wanna
You said to ring you up if I was in Toronto
I have lots of friends that I can ding at any time
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn
Sure we'll be rockin' till our strength is gone
Yeah This Beat Goes On
Hey ladies you crazies

Me and Zero request you in the Mercedes

And then we'll ride so zoomy inside
The sky's the limit this time I'm Switchin' to Glide
I don't give a hoot about what people have to say
I'm laughin' as I'm analyzed
Lunatics Anonymous that's where I belong
Sure cause I am one till my strength is gone
Yeah This Beat Goes On
I have lots of friends that I can ding at any time
Can mobilize some laughs with just one call
Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn
Sure we'll be rockin' till our strength is gone
Yeah This Beat Goes On<.i>

well blow me down.

I also always slightly misheard the line:
 
"Like a bunch of lunatics we'll act till way past dawn"

as

"Like a bunch of lunatics we're out till way past dawn"

Same thought crossed my mind. '87 is due--their debut was out in 86, but did it get any chart action in 87? We just heard 88 and 91 last week, which was when Temple of Low Men and Woodface were released.

'87 is actually when "Don't Dream" and "Something So Strong" ended up being hits. It got great reviews in '86 but it took radio 6 months to catch up. Which is why the album was overlooked by the Grammies, if memory serves.
