Mind... blow... in! Heatwave's mellow side. I didn't even know it was them until years later.

Ooh, a lost Motown gem: the Velvelettes (!), "Needle in a Haystack."

the Velvelettes (!)


their favorite cheese is Velveleeta.

Was it the Belle Starrs who did the '80s remake of "Needle in a Haystack"?

I didn't know it had been remade, but if anyone was capable of it in the '80s, it was the Belle Starrs.

maybe I misheard, but the guy on that Election promo sounded like he was called Krishna Guru Murphy, which is one helluva great name.

"Youth and truth are making love / Dig it for a starter
Dying young is hard to take / Selling out is harder"

Such harrowing lines.  Resulting in more harrowing lines.

Too bad POC's missing the MJ Girls, "All Night Long."  She could use a 'round-the-way girl.

I still don't get "Juicy Fruit."  Well, I get the metaphor, but I don't get the song.

The Staple Singers' "Come Go With Me" has got to be the most sound-alike followup single EVER.

4 Tops, "Same Old Song" (even the title was in on the joke).

here's the Rimshots with the Brit hit version of "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Blow Your Whistle", a US hit for Gary Tom's Empire (who also did a fine cover of "Drive My Car").
