Bruce Jenner & Wheaties > Pump It Up

Plus points for a clever segue. Negative points for a song we hear plenty already.

(And perhaps has that segue been done before? If so, negative points there too.)

we had an earthquake drill here so i missed whatever clip came before Elvis' "Pump It Up", which I'm tempted to LN but which I'll VHM.

But Blondie "Hangin on the Telephone" is def LN3

Really? I haven't heard this in years. Sounds good to me today.

 a KFOG staple both in and out of 10@10. Coulda been worse I guess -- coulda been "Heart of Glass".

uber-BOS4 Casey Kasem!!  and BOS5 Heatwave's "Always & Forever". Slow dance!

And I'm squarely in between the two of you--I know we've heard it, but certainly not as much as other Blondie tunes. BOS for me, and big fat BOS to Joey Ramones' ode to spinning old opera records: Needles and Enzio Pinza.

Big props for using the Casey Kasem bit as a basis for playing Heatwave, which we probably wouldn't have heard otherwise. Nice.

unidentifiable clip --> LN2 McDoobs, "What A Fool Believes"

Oy, that has been on my "never need to hear again" list since the first time I heard it.

Yes, very overplayed.  But I have always loved this song.

10@10 can always use more smoove soul, yo.  Looooong version, too.

Fantasy Island  --> "Thunder Island". uber-uber-LN4 and one of my "never need to hear it again" songs.

I guess it's kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Adolescent Dave was always titillated (well, yeah) by the line about "in the sun with your dress undone". Hubba hubba.

AL slips a bit of Barry and the Copa in for the backsell...with a giggle! 

And Casey, too!

A far better set than yesterday's, imo. Two LNs (the Doobs and Elvis) but otherwise a nice trip to 78. And no Joe or Jeff(erson).
