aaaackkk!!!! Neil Sedaka.
No I don't want to have your baby!
Yuck!


Well then how about Paul Anka's? I don't think you have to worry about Neil.



ROTFL!!!!! actually he did get a woman preggers. Once.  Daughter Dara must be pushing 50 by now...

Gotta head to an appointment, but here's another blogpost song.

I'll hear the rest in my car.

Have a great weekend everyone!

So after saying this was a '70-centric set, Dave plays 2 '60s hits in a row.  "Honey" is pretty hellish, tho'.

And follows those with an 80s tune--Macca & Michael didn't start collaborating til at least '82, right?

Indeed -- people tend to forget that this was on Thriller -- was the leadoff single, in fact.  But then "Billie Jean" came along and everything changed.

OMG! "Gitarzan" -- Ray Stevens made far worse records than this.


I would vote this BOS in a straight up set.  It is not a hit from hell, it's not even a guilty pleasure.  It's at worst a turkey.


A turkey is precisely what it is.

HFH-est of Set goes to "Feelings," which I managed to not hear in its entirety for almost 30 years until now.  Thanks, Dave.

Finally -- the '90s make an appearance. "Macarena" is truly horrendous.  The Xmas version is even worse.

Not questioning Macarena's HFH status, but when was this a hit? Ninety-something? 70s-centric my left clavicle.
Let's get right to it.
