26 Sept 2014: it's an encore set from ... 1981

[RGMike]

fingers crossed for early '70s or possibly '60s, but since the "rotation" is out the window during vacation weeks, anything's possible. (2000?)

[RGMike]

1981 -- "Urgent" is our TOTHK but this set is not urgent as far as I'm concerned

[Davefish]

Joan Jett wants to know if I want a torch. OK, I'll have what she's having.

[Davefish]

She's perfect in every dimension. Dat's da fact, Jack!

[urth]

there are a few things to look forward to in this set, might be worth hanging around.

This Carl Carlton song being one of them.

**SPOILER ALERT**








this is the set, it would seem:

02/10/12 - Friday! Getting our Stripes in 1981!
 
 1. Foreigner - Urgent
(Ad: Charmin- Don't squeeze the Charmin)
 2. Joan Jett - Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah) (B.O.S!)
(Ad: Charmin - Squeezak the Robot loses it and squeezes the Charmin)
 3. Hall & Oates - Private Eyes
(Movie: Stripes - The review before the General - "That's a fact, Jack!")
 4. Carl Carlton - She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)
(Movie: Stripes -The break up-John (Bill Murray) gets dumped by girlfriend)
 5. The Greg Kihn Band - Breakup Song
 6. The Boomtown Rats - Up All Night
(Movie: Stripes - The Breakup, Pt. 2 - John: "You can't go - all the plants are gonna die!")
 7. Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go
 8. Van Halen - So This Is Love
(Movie: Stripes - The guys march to "Do Wah Diddy")
 9. Billy Idol - Mony Mony
(Movie: Stripes - John speechifys-" We are the wretched refuse")
10. Ramones - We Want the Airwaves

Not a bad set, actually, considering it's from the DC era. (Tho' I never need hear "Tainted Love" ever again)

[Davefish]

"Up All Night" sounds like a long-lost David Bowie song. I wonder if he had anything to do with it, especially the production.

ETA: Bowie doesn't appear to have anything to do with it, though the song was co-written by Joe Walsh!


ETAA: BUT, it was produced by Toni Visconti, who is distinguished thusly:
Since the late 1960s, he has worked with an array of performers; his lengthiest involvement with any artist is with David Bowie: intermittently from Bowie's 1969 album Space Oddity to 2013's The Next Day, Visconti has produced and occasionally performed on many of Bowie's albums.

So there you have it.

[urth]

A classic that's worthy of the name -- yes a couple of frequent flyers, but also we've got a solid 4 or 5 rarities: Joan Jett, Carl Carlton, Van Halen, Ramones, and maybe Up All Night, too.

With six months of AL 3.0 material  available, I'm a bit surprised that they went
back over two and a half years for these encore sets.  It's one of the worst periods
in 10@10 history.  So far I've been decidedly unimpressed with the choices.
