25 July 2017: it's... Top 10 Tuesday (1987)
« on: July 25, 2017, 08:51:30 AM »
7/25:

On today’s edition of Soundwaves 10@10, it’s another edition of Top 10 Tuesday!
We’ll count down the hits to the #1 song in the country on this day on whatever
year the wheel lands on! Today, we’ll hear the song that would continue Whitney
Houston’s string of seven consecutive #1 hits, the first single from an iconic artist
that was banned from most of radio and MTV, and still became a huge smash, and
one of the classic rock anthems of the 80s.
Tuned to a natural E

Wow, sure don't remember this cover of Funkytown. Is it Wang Chung?

That was a long-time request of mine for Morey, AL, Renee. Never played.

Oddly, I hear it fairly often on XM First Wave's Friday Night 360 show.
