10 April 2012: It's Y2K!

At first I thought she had played "Someday Out Of The Blue", which would have been kinda awesome.

Yes!!! That was the "perfectly good, but less exposed songs, in 2000" I was hinting at in the previous post.

Although we haven't hit 2000 that much, at least there weren't too many katrinas.  Or, even better, there wasn't an overabundance of KFOG staples.

At first I thought she had played "Someday Out Of The Blue", which would have been kinda awesome.

But yeah, the playing of a song grossly out of its time frame for as thin of a connection as a movie is dubious to put it mildly.

Actually, I have a friend who put a 2000-themed album together that included "The Long And Winding Road", which resulted in a fairly heated argument as well.

Only true music fans would care about such a thing! 

glad to see 2 people saying this -- I bitched a while back when she played some soundtrack-linked oldie (mighta been "Just Dropped In" from Big Lebowski)and was roundly flamed on FB for being too picky.  Did she really play my Tom Jones request? If so I'll have to listen tonite. Sounds like it was fairly underwhelming overall.

I concur, it's cheating -- although I can't say it ruined the set for me.  Yes, she played Stereophonics w Tom Jones.

It wasn't "Sex Bomb"...it was "Mama Told Me Not to Come."  Still not a bad choice.

Ick--come to think of it, I hope my request for "Someday Out of the Blue" isn't what inspired her to play "Tiny Dancer"...

Kinda swamped at work today, so I may skip this one (and won't feel bad about missing 2000). Even AL implied on the g-snipes page that she wasn't exactly thrilled.

What's the g-snipes page?

G-snipes is a private Facebook page, and the membership consists of a select group of 10at10 fans (and complainers) culled from AnnaLisa main FB page.    Someone here can get you invited if you want. 

I think I have enough snark in my life as it is...

Well said!

Save me, I'm stuck in a moment! Pinch me!  Well, I dunno. I really would've preferred the hilariously cheezy "Sex Bomb" to the 3DN cover -- if nothing else, Mousse-T is the most ridiculous rapper name ever. I've no need to catch the replay on this one.

Have you heard the even more hilariously cheezy "Horny" by Mousse T vs. Hot N Juicy?  That's one for 1998...
