The Peak, 04/17/07: It's 1984
« on: April 17, 2007, 07:20:46 AM »
I'm following the Bangles to Liverpool to escape the taxman.

HM to the original Cosby Show theme!  And Brooce joins the Bangles in BOS-land with "Cover Me."  Vulnerable Bruce is Hot Bruce.

Sledgehammer and another BOS to General Public, "Tenderness."  After not hearing it for many years, I found it on a "Hits of the '80s" cassette comp during college and it became a major part of my summer '94 soundtrack.

Nobody Told Me there'd be last-days-of-work like these.

Gaz, how's the weather today? EIGHT inches of rain in Central Park? WTF??
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

It's finally drying out here, but we've had an absurd couple of days.  The only saving grace is that it wasn't cold enough to turn to snow -- if it had been, we'd have been WELL into double-digits.

When I first heard that song, I thought "where you goin' with that UB40 in your hand?" referred to an LP.

Oh wow: Between Vulnerable Bruce, Twilley's "Girls" (the video was like "Porky's" without the gravitas), and Corey Hart, this set is The Gaz Guide To Teenage Sex.

Hey!  By NO measure was Corey Hart a one-hit wonder!  "Sunglasses" wasn't even his biggest hit!  ("Never Surrender" topped it.)
