5 June 2013: It's 1990!

[CapnJack]

TOTHK - SRV & Double Trouble "Superstition"

Did this chart in 1990? It was released in 1986...

Oy. Star Spangled Roseanne. 
a prediction comes true, and sadly it's "Ice Ice Baby". One of the uber-uber-WOSes of all time.

Sure, it's awful, but everytime I hear it I picture Jim Carey on "Living Color" doing his "White White, Baby" parody, and it makes me happy.

Me too!  ILC did a lot of great parodies of popular songs, and they also spoofed the videos.
Like so much these days, they're on Youtube, and watching a few of them back-to-back can
make for an entertaining half-hour.

WOS Blues Traveler.

Yet another artist that doesn't deserve the drubbing they get on this board.  I can fully understand
not liking his stuff, especially if one doesn't care for harmonica.  But you have to admit that he is
talented and can play it.  For myself, I like most of his "hits," but they've largely moved into
the over-played category.  I'd like to hear deeper cuts, but I don't enjoy his work quite enough
to buy any CDs.

[dischead]

how this song became opopular remains (wait for it) an Enignma.

Sometimes it seems like they just randomly throw a dance beat behind something, and see if people buy it.

I like it, and even bought the CD back then.  I would put this into the vague "New Age" category,
which is another genre I enjoy.  Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Patrick O'Hearn, Shadowfax, etc.

I wish she would have played 2 Live Crew.

I got an appetite for lunch, 'cause me so hongry.

I would have suggested some Young MC.  Stone Cold Rhymin' was released in 1989, but
I'm sure it was on the charts in 1990 and that's the year I associate it with (and since when
has the actual release year stopped RR before?)

Didn't AL play "Bust A Move" as part of an 89 set once? Now, that would've been a HAAAAAY! moment.

AL played a bunch of good, fun rap (that one, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Eminem). Much as I hate the Vanilla Ice hit, I'm assuming it's appearance means we might get some good stuff (but please -- no "Rico Suave").

To contradict the GS outrage, I was actually kind of glad to see its appearance amongst a bunch of tired AAA staples.

She replied "totes" to my FB suggestion about playing 2 Live Crew next time.

...on August 3, 2010 -- and it took BOS.

Ah, I like that song!  Sure, the lyrics are stupid, but that criticism applies to many, many songs.
Consider just the music.  There must be an instrumental version from a 12" single out there
somewhere.  It's part of a whole genre -- goofy dance music.  I'm Too Sexy, Macarena, Mambo No. 5,
Walk Like An Egyptian... it could be a 10@10 theme set!
