14 Feb 2006: Love, Atlantic Records Style

[RGMike]

so far, the only remake i can't place is the spinners tune. michael bolotin covered percy, annie lennox did "thin line," and the committments had the otis...

The Pretenders also did a fantastic "Thin Line."

And there's Bette's "When a Man ..." from The Rose.

Did he just say "The Pretenders with 'Thin Line Between Love and Hate'"???

He said "some people know this as a Pretenders song"

I'm thinking of the Pretenders doing Thin Line

he didn't say this was all remakes.

I was just remarking about which cover I was familiar with.  Sorry if I missed the thread.  I missed a little in the process of changing my laptop setup from one classroom to the other.

Rosalie gave the trivia "winner" a free ride, even tho' he couldn't pronounce Ahmet Ertegun's name.

and the bonus: "Tramp"

"woman, you koo-KOO!'

I must say that all the V-Day sets were excellent in their own special ways. And 3 theme sets in one day is a new record, no?  (I guess Rob's 1989 set could be considered a V-Day set too, since that's the year we love to hate... :wink: )
