but... from when to when?
ETA: '74 to '83 "Rock the Boat", baby!
-
Honorable Flasback of Set: "Rock the Boat". Heard this on the radio a lot.
-
Rock on wit' yo bad self!
-
I'd have been happier if they'd started (and ended) this VT a couple of years earlier, but am hoping Dave rises to the occasion. It is a Friday, after all.
Some nice pop flashbacks so far, particularly the Hues Corp.
-
<Gene Wilder voice> IT'S ALIIIIIVE!! My Love Is Alive!</Gene Wilder voice>

by definition, VT = Just the Hits. But "Love is Alive" is a fave, I always liked this better than "Dreamweaver". Did someone do a dance version of this recently, or was that just a remix of the Joan Osborn cover?

<Gene Wilder voice> IT'S ALIIIIIVE!! My Love Is Alive!</Gene Wilder voice>
"Young Frankenstein... in black & white... no offense!" LOL!
-
BOS so far: Rock the Boat ... what a great pop song!!
-
Sorry Gaz -- "WorstOfSettaville".
-

And that's what we seem to be getting. Margaritaville is far from my fave JB (Buffett when he was good? Sounds like an oxymoron) but it is giving me more pleasant summertime flashbacks, drinking cheap beer and smoking cheap pot on some back road in the Sierra foothills when I was 17. Slack granted on this one.
-
VHM Mr Ravenscroft's sax. Another flashback, tho' not to '78... My first visit to London (Summer of '83), I actually did wind my way down Baker St and had this song in my head the whole time.
-

Ha! Buffett just before his schtick calcified into a marketing gimmick. "it's a song! It's a restaurant! It's a Tequila!
-
beep beep toot toot.
Darn, just missed 78 Baker St.
-
Hey Beej, you ever do Thor's voice in any of your online personas? I have to do so here in response to Mike:
VHM Mr Ravenscroft's sax.
VHM!? I say thee, Nay! By the Horns of Heimdal, Rafael Ravenscroft's sax solo doth verily merit a BOS!!

Yeah, if I can give any Buffett a break, it's this one...

BOS from afar to "Baker Street," which I can't imagine tiring of.
The dance remix of "Love Is Alive" was by 3rd Party, who didn't do anything else of note AFAIK.
-
BOS Ms Summer, from a time when 'hos were scrappy'n'sassy, and didn't merely exist to be slapped by pimps in gangsta-rap scenarios. "Hey Mista!"

My first visit to London (Summer of '83), I actually did wind my way down Baker St and had this song in my head the whole time.
Funny how many places in that town inspire memories of songs. When I was there last year, I couldn't pass Wardour Street without conjuring up "Don't Try to Lay No Boojie Woojie..." and Long John Baldry.
Although my strongest musical memory is of walking to the South Kensington tube stop on a warm evening, and hearing a busker outside playing the Kinks' Waterloo Sunset. I stopped to hear it to the end, and gave him a quid for his efforts. Sublime.
-
Sounds like the looooong version.
-
Very few Billy Joel songs that I actually like.... (but this is one of them) 8)
-
Hey Urth, I don't know if this came up when I wasn't looking, but who exactly is your avatar? I know I lose frink points for having to ask, but all I can think is that it looks a lot like Hank Azaria.

Indeed, it's been too long since I've been there. I think I've mentioned an obscure song by a group called Sweet Thursday (big on NYC FM in the early '70s; their name is a Steinbeck reference IIRC) called "Gilbert Street" that goes "get your ticket on the Central Line... get off at Bond St, and you'll feel so fine." That one reverberated in my head a lot too when I was there.
WOS Mr Joel, it's still polyester to me.
BOS2: H&O, "You Make My Dreams", closest to an obscurity we'll get, and a lost hit worth revisiting.
-
Hey Beej, you ever do Thor's voice in any of your online personas? I have to do so here in response to Mike:
LOL! I did, as a matter of fact. Back when The Hulk was getting a lot of heat for bad grammer (this particualr site has a lot, a lot of rule) he "took a break" but let Thor use his account.
So, it would still say The Hulk, but I put a disclaimer at the beginning explaining that while Hulk was attending Sylvan Learning Centers to brush up on his grammer- his collegue Thor would be posting. Then I did the Thor-stuff you were doing.
Sometimes Hulk's manager, Murray Goldman, would do the postings.
I'm sick.

Hey Urth, I don't know if this came up when I wasn't looking, but who exactly is your avatar? I know I lose frink points for having to ask, but all I can think is that it looks a lot like Hank Azaria.
I was wondering if you all recogized him or what. It's Peter Gabriel in his Genesis days, with the crown of his head shaved and wearing his bat-wing headgear (from Watcher of the Skies).
-

thanks, bub! I knew you'd know. I hear it at the gym often, along with those awful remakes (using the chorus only) of Winwood's "Valerie" and the Pointers' "Dare Me".

Damn, I'd've sworn it was someone from LOTR.

another VHM to D times 2. "There's a dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold..." Huh? Willful obscurity that makes Rush's lyrics seem like Dick and Jane in comparison.

sure sounded like it to me... remember, Irish Greg said "Dave's always looking." Dave once commented that he & I should get together and "compare record collections", wink wink.

Never knew. You've kind of seen his since you were at his house, gonna show him yours? :wink:

DM mentioned that Fitz, the birthday kid who suggested the set, said he always celebrated his birthday at the Hippo on Van Ness. Dave then suggested that he and Fitz meet on the corner of Van Ness & Pacific & hang out and eat some ice cream...or something. :wink:
-
Heh heh. I used to go the Hippo too. They had a hamburger sundae. Burger patty with ice cream and sundae stuff on it. Don't you dare mock me for that!

What a great album. I think the new Luce track they play on KFOG sounds like Gerry Rafferty.

This occurred to me, because of the triangle patch, but wasn't sure. It has kind of a hippie/Robin Hood look to it I didn't associate with PG.

I'd love to show Dave my record collection, but it's quite meager compared to his.

the one about "let's buy a dog and bring him home"? Hmm, I like that song but Rafferty never occurred to me.

It's just the tonality and vocal phrasing.

I like the song, too, but I noticed that the couple of bars leading up to the title lyric sounded almost note for note like part of The Ramones "We're A Happy Family". I called in to mention this after they'd said something about songs that sound like other songs. So when I said "Buy A Dog" reminds me of another song, Dave & Peter both jumped in and said "Gerry Rafferty?" with the We've-already-been-over-this-before tone of voice.

So, I guess I wasn't imagining things then!
