I have no idea what this is following up Fast Car, something about 'it ain't no big thing" female vocals & generic power pop a la Survivor.

Mondegreens, My 3 Songs, Other Trivia / 80's trivia
« on: April 20, 2009, 02:04:35 PM »
How well do you remember the 80's? Or, put another way, how much has your perception been altered by AOR & AAA radio formats since?
Here are 12 songs from the 80's. One charted at #1 on the Hot 100. one at #11, one at #21, etc. down to #91. Now I know what you're thinking, "that only accounts for 10 tracks & you said there were 12" There's also one song that "bubbled under" at #101, and another track that never even managed to "bubble under" at all. Place them in the proper order.
The Alarm - "Strength"
The Fixx - "Red Skies"
Huey Lewis - "Jacob's Ladder"
Joe Jackson - "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
Rockpile - "Teacher, Teacher"
Scritti Politti - "Perfect Way"
Tim Curry - "I Do The Rock"
Tom Tom Club - "Genius of Love"
U2 - "I Will Follow"
Ultravox - "Reap The Wild Wind"
Wang Chung - "To Live & Die In L.A."
XTC - "Making Plans For Nigel"
* my arbitrary scoring works as follows: 2 pts for exactly right, 1 pt for +/- 1 chart position. If you are +/- 2 positions you break even, +/- 3 positions is -1 pt, and +/- 4 or more positions is -2 pts.
#1 ____
#11 ____
#21 ____
#31 ____
#41 ____
#51 ____
#61 ____
#71 ____
#81 ____
#91 ____
#101 ____
didn't chart ____
For a special bonus, 10 of these songs have multiple Db entires. For 5 frink points each, which has never appeared in the Db for the past 5 years? ...and which has only appeared as a sample in another song (said song having multiple entries as well)?

I'm not about to switch away from a brand new 1973 classic on KFOG, but I can't figure this out from the Recently Played button:
10:03 - Ain't Too Proud To Beg by Rolling Stones
10:07 - Heartless by Heart
10:16 - US Blues by Grateful Dead

« on: March 26, 2009, 10:07:49 AM »
The Greatest Cover of All Time, Jimi's "All Along The Watchtower", not least because he got it out before the original. Sorry, conflating memories there. It was the Beatles that Jimi scooped, not Dylan.
Also used to great effect in both the graphic novel & the film Watchmen.
