< wouldn't it be amusing if we all had Issac Hayes avatars?!

done.

but I'll have to find one that has him with Scarlett Jo 
...otherwise you all start complaining. 

This one is close

OK, I confess: who's the babe?

[mshray]

VHM the Xanadu commercial. Worst. Musical. EVAH (even with stiff competion from Can't Stop the Music and Mamma Mia!). But the song itself woulda been cheezy fun.

Jon & Vangelis? BOS4!

And don't forget Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  It's up there.

Oh my yes.  (and Gaz will chime in with The Apple, also a contendah)

Have any of you ever seen the early seventies remake of Lost Horizon?  Inevitably ranked as one of the worst moives of any genre, and I actually saw it in the theater on its first run.

[RGMike]

uh-oh -- Dead, I'm reckoning.  WOS from me, just to be snotty.

I'd prefer the upbeat 'alabama getaway'!

"'when the smoke has cleared', she said..."

But the smoke *never* clears at a Dead show!

[mshray]

OK, I confess: who's the babe?

Alicia Keyes, no?

forgot that one, since sadly I've never seen it -- Liv Ullman and Peter Finch SING!

Yes, Alicia Keyes, at least from Scarlett Jo generation.

HM for Althea, one of my favorite down-tempo Dead songs.

I'm with you Davefish.  I think I'm up to BOS 5, which means this is prety good set for the year in question.

[RGMike]

"the Dakota hotel"?? It's an apartment building, dude.  ah , NY's Finest...

Oh My God, Mike, hie thee to your Netflix queue posthaste.

[Gazoo]

OK, I confess: who's the babe?

Alicia Keyes, no?

Yes, but spelled Keys.

[RGMike]

and we close (?) with one of Dave's fave 1980 Katrinas, EB, "MITB".

[Alicat]

BOS Althea. The best!
Ginger will also visit 80 this week me thinks.

This is the first I've ever heard of it!  Netflix has been flooding me with ads and intro offers lately; maybe it's time ...

VHM to Eng Beat watching themselves while They. Are. Ea. Ting.

Yes, Alicia Keyes, at least from Scarlett Jo generation.

Not only that but she costarred with Scarlett Jo in The Nanny Diaries.  Not nearly as bad a flick as I thought it might be, but then again Laura Linney is incapable of bad work, and Scarlett is incapable of looking bad.

John & Yoko in 1980...
