Kudos for the ID on that one, Herr Gaz--I had not a clue. Gotta like the way AL is jumpstarting the week with a blast o' da funk.

WOS for Winning, and another shrug of cluelessness for whatever this following it. Sounds familiar, can't place it.

Another one out of the vaults--This Town by the Go-gos. VHM there, but no love for Styx, Too Much Time On My Hands.

And the play-by-play continues: Soft Cell telling us all about their taint. But is it the l-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g version?

ETA: Not.  Instead, we get unheezed by a different K.C.

I'm gobsmacked, but I really shouldn't be -- AL keeps playing tunes I begged Dave for. Peter Wolf last week, and now this.  I'll be sure to catch the replay tonite, even tho' KPOO is doing a Cameo/Parkway special. And TANC: Judge is playing The Gap Band as I type this (tho' it's "Early in the Morning", not "Burn Rubber").

3/1/10 - MONDAY!!  Gettin' Funky in...'81!!!

   1.  Carl Carlton- She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)
(Movie:  Stripes)
   2.  The Gap Band- Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)
   3.  Gary U.S.Bonds-This Little Girl
(TV-SNL Belushi-Gold Medal Winner)
   4.  Santana- Winning
   5.  The Teardrop Explodes-Passionate Friend
   6.  The Go-Go's- This Town
(News:  Bohemian Grove)
   7.  Styx - Too Much Time on My Hands
(News:  Reagan)
   8.  King Crimson - Elephant Talk (B.O.S!!)
   9.  Soft Cell - Tainted Love
  10. Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

Holy crap -- Teardrop Explodes, too? Now I really *am* gobsmacked.

caught the set on the replay -- despite 2 uber-Katrinas (Santana and Kim C), a superb collection. Hadn't heard that Go-Gos tune in ages, and the Teardrop Explodes song was NTM and an instant fave.  But I gotta say: the King Crimson is a rather shameless Talking Heads ripoff, no?

And I loved the seg from Bohemian Grove rich guys to "Too Much Time On My hands".

I woulda been gobsmacked after hearing the Go-Go's tune, but I'll have to wait for Saturday morning now.  That whole album still stands up well, top to bottom.
