31 Dec 2014: it's... the return of '80s Chartbusters?

[RGMike]

"On the next 10@10: I'll let the ball drop on some rocking' New Years Eves of the 80's! Bust out some dancin' shoes and Aquanet for a fun time traveling set!" sez AL on FB. Sure *sounds* like a Morey vertical tasting.

Whatever it is, I'm seeing an 11am showing of Into the Woods so I'll miss out.  Take notes, kidz!

1980 TOTHK: Devo - Whip It
1981: Rick James - Super Freak

[urth]

1982: Stray Cats - Rock This Town
1983: Oingo Boingo - Who Do You Want To Be  (bust-out?)

[urth]

1984: Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
Always a fave!!

1985: Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

After the first three eminently least necessary records things are improving a bit.

1986: Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian

OK, 3 steps forward, one step back.

preemptive BOS for Dead Or Alive!

Happy New Year to all, hope you've all had a great Christmas.

1983: Oingo Boingo - Who Do You Want To Be  (bust-out?)

Could be...Dave Morey was always very scant with his Oingo Boingo to be sure.

[urth]

1987: Whitney - I Want To Dance With Somebody That Loves Me
1988: Escape Club - Wild Wild West

Well, Dave never played it, but Annalisa sure did -- half a dozen times at least between her earlier tenure and the return earlier this year.

Nice to see you popping by this space once in awhile, Mark. Hope all is going well at your place, both workwise and with the family. Saw a couple pics of you & the boys pop up on FB the other day. Jeez, they're growing up fast.

1989: Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time

And we end with a healthy portion of cheeze.

Yeah they sure are.  Both had their birthdays in the last 9 days, so now they're 15 & 13 (9th & 7th grades).  They seem destined to be tall.

2014 has been a real up and down year, but I'm feeling good about 2015.

1987: Whitney - I Want To Dance With Somebody That Loves Me

wow -- a wonderful pop bustout that I've requested several times.  Woulda been my BOS.

And hey mshray -- nice to see ya!
