I think 1989-1990 may well be "oldie" by their standards.

In which case, why not request some Expose on my behalf while you're at it?

He does tend to stick to older stuff, which can be as recent as mid-'90s. You're missing "Juicy Fruit"!

I'll be your lollipop

That was the first time I've ever heard Mtume's "Juicy Fruit."  Color me severely disappointed: I was expecting something amazing after all the criticla accolades; instead, it struck me as just more tedious '80s synth-soul (you'll note that I have no appreciation for Frankie Beverley and Maze on similar grounds).

at the time ('83?) it seemed fresh. you've heard too many of its clones since then, probably.

so, is there an A-tume, a B-tume, and so on?

Stargard! "Which Way is Up?" -- damn, haven't heard this since it was a hit. Rose Royce got too big for their britches, so Mr Whitfield went out and put together another group for his next soundtrack.

I'd completely blocked that from memory. Of course, I've never seen the film. Is it so-bad-it's-good? or just really bad?

I'm gonna say "both."  The acting is dreadful for the most part and the plot has more holes than Amadou Diallo.  On the other hand, watching the Bee Gees beat the shit out of Aerosmith is the most OMGWTFLOL moment in cinematic history.  It's worth watching once, preferably as part of a double feature with either Can't Stop the Music or Xanadu.

I do own the sndtk and I think George Burns doing "When I'm 64" and Steve Martin doing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" were actually great ideas.  Next time it's on TV...

I also meant to note that the song was turned into a 1999 R&B hit by a nondescript singer named Donell Jones, and its hook was interpolated into the minor charter "Thug Lovin'" by Ja Rule f/ Bobby Brown (!) in 2003.

 it actually charted twice over there -- first in '87, and then they remixed it as "Fake '88" (!) and it was an even bigger hit the 2nd time.

I thought "Fake '88" was G.H.W. Bush's campaign theme...
