Doubtless the only appearance of "penetrating" in a Top 40 hit: The Addrisi Bros., "We've Got to Get It On Again."  In the morning, now.

And yay and hearts for playing the entire "Nanny and the Professor" theme, another major fave of mine.

One I'd never heard -- Alice Cooper's lovely "You and Me" -- and one I hadn't heard in its entirety since singing it in school chorus in 1983 -- Oak Ridge Boys' "Elvira."  Words don't suffice.

Nowhere else on earth will you get Manhattan Transfer's "Operator" followed by City Boy's "5-7-0-5."  Cute.

Continuing the theme, it's New Edition's "Mr. Telephone Man"; I didn't realize Barry was now going this "recent."  Nor did I know that Ray Parker Jr. wrote this one.

here's something in my quarter-Russian heritage that compels me toward that Eastern European melody.

"And that's called ... " MAWKISH.  I am floored by the Shangri-Las' "I Can Never Go Home Anymore."

No, there's no one moment, but this song is just so...powerful.  I think I will grovel, or just buy it on iTunes!

Another new one to me: Seals & Crofts, "My Fair Cher," er, Share.  Melody appears to have been nicked by Elton John soon afterward for "Little Jeannie."

I thought maybe we'd had a conversation about Parker writing that; it certainly makes sense for Barry to play '80s cheeze.

And it would make sense for you to follow Lost 45s each week with Little Steven's show from 10-midnite on Q-104 -- he's doing his annual B-Day salute to John Peel.

BTW, the Seals&Crofts tune was the theme from One on One, a basketball movie starring Robby Benson (swoon!).  Glad you finally got to hear Alice Cooper's "You'n'Me", Dave really should play it sometime -- as well as just about every other song discussed today. Barry Scott for president!
