21 May 2008--it's...1985

[urth]

WTF?!? I'd have sworn we were due for a 70s set.

TFF leads off, aspiring to world domination.

[mshray]

I would have sworn likewise, but then again I have to take a conf call, so I won't feel so bad now.

Have fun!

Found this one in the DB--originally aired 12/6/2006. Some good songs coming up. The song that won BOS, however, is not one of them.

BOS from me for Prince, Pop Life.

Sade singing "she's the school's operator" much like the earlier Paul Young song, "Everytime you go away you take a piece of meat with you..."

WOS for Bryan.

WOS for Bryan.

This is the one I was referring to--it wins the popular BOS vote.

And this one (Jeff Beck, Ambitious) is a real Narada--don't recall it at all from '85.

Oh, dear.  Who's singing this?
