Title: 22 Oct 2010: it's... 1981
Post by: RGMike on October 21, 2010, 09:01:42 PM
Yes, someone just requested "Jessie's Girl" and "Bette Davis Eyes"  ::)

Me, I'm asking for

The Clash, "Hitsville UK"
Grace Jones, "Pull Up to the Bumper"
Yoko, "Walking on Thin Ice"
Joey Scarbury "Greatest American Hero (Believe it or Not)"

and we start with one of the biggest (and most annoying) 1981 'trinas of the Morey era: "Winning".

The Kinks song is NTM.  The opening reminded me of a Supergrass song from the '90s called "We're Alright."

It's def been played on 10@10 before (and It's "Better Things", not "Better Days" -- my bad)

I just heard that Arthur clip earlier this week!  BOS to "While You See a Chance," a great motto for the age of perpetual reinvention.

I'll give cars a VHM for now, though she does seem to find every excuse to sneak the Cars into every set she possibly can.

Otherwise, not impressed so far.

sheesh: "Super Freak" for the billionth time. Seriously, ah loves me some Slick Rick, but come on. Fogheads are so predictable, yow.

and speaking of predictable: "Rapture". I am losing hope here.

Agreed.  For some reason it got me online to BOS it, though.  Needed some chair dancing this morning.

Gone fishing next week, so I've got a lot of pre-vacation energy flowing.

Woohoo!

this is NTM, but I recognize the Clash singing in there, and know it's RGM's request.  Nice one.

The pleasant chorus reminds me of Polyphonic Spree.

That was the Clash?!??! Okay, add that one to my short-but-growing list of good Clash songs.  Worth a BOS.

AC/DC on the other hand...  ::)  Well, I guess it is pretty common for AL to end with something like this.

That's Ellen Foley of "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" and Night Court fame -- she was Jones's (or was it Strummer's?) gf at the time.

ETA: It was Jones -- and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" was about her.

Sumpin' fer everyone, that's AL's motto.  AC/DC is a not-very-guilty displeasure for me.

WOS2 "Back in Black."  Brian Johnson is unlistenable to my ears.

Post by: Tinka Cat on October 22, 2010, 10:56:06 AM
heh, Back In Black for the Giants (orange and black).  I get it. 

Reminds me years ago -- in 1995 to be exact -- when the Giants ran a program to get kids involved with the team.  and they called it the "Orange And Black Kids' Club."

At a game one night in June (against the Mets, featuring Jeff Kent, who took an early lead an held it until the G men pulled it out w a Bonds RBI double!) they put it on the scoreboard with line breaks that seemed  a little funny.  My brother pointed it out as not seeming so "correct." It said something like this:

Join the Giants'
Orange and
Black Kids
Club!

... so there's a special club for "Black Kids?"  anyway, I still remember that.

That being said, Hitsville U.K. was an excellent request.  Hopefully, our Giants will be all hitsville tomorrow.

Holy crap -- I didn't even realize there was a Giants thread going thru the set until you mentioned it

"Winning"... "Better Things" ... "Tomorrow" ... "Super Freak" ... "Back in (Orange &) Black". DUH!  I guess I picked a good day to ask for "HITS-ville"!
