indeed -- here's a song from that era that does not really hold up well, IMHO. A cute novelty at the time, but considering where rap went the following year (Grandmaster Flash etc) and beyond...

But she name dropped Grandmaster Flash 26 years before he gets inducted into the HOF, so I give her props.

Flash is flash, flash is cool,
Francois se pas,
Flashe' no do.


Er, yeah, what she said.  WOS Moodies, one of my least-fave songs of theirs, thanks to Dave's Katrinizing of it.

I really like this song, but it's played so frequently that it might be a good candidate for Katrina replacement (surgery).  It's a Rider, doncha know.

Agree completely -- its use in a political segue is the only saving grace.

Yikes, the latest in a veritable parade of Katrinas: "Life of Illusion"

OK, I'll BOS2 "Mercury Blues". But really, this is strictly by-numbers today. Dave used up all his creativity in '76 yesterday, I guess.
