The Jacksons' shoulda-been-bigger "Torture" -- haven't heard this on the radio since it was new.

[RGMike]

Holy crap! Tom & Jerry (aka Simon & Garfunkel) and their Everlys knockoff, "Hey Schoolgirl". Woo-poppa-loochie-pah!

Followed by Charlie Daniels making fun of what would later become his fan base.

[RGMike]

CBS-FM doing an interesting thing today: They recently did Top 101 Songs of each decade ('60s, '70s, '80s) and now the're counting down each list concurrently: we just heard #79 from each decade (Richard Harris "MacArthur park", J-5 "Dancing Machine", and TFF "Shout") and next we'll get all 3 #78s (Supremes, Manilow, and Blondie) and so on. Kinda cool.

"It from me!
It's for you!
It's from you!
It's for me!
It's a world-wide sym-fo-neeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Barry writes the songs in a song he didn't write.

[RGMike]

childhood memory: Mr. Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore".

[RGMike]

TANC: fresh from a Gaz blog post, heeeere's Paper Lace.

[RGMike]

CGSS follows a J-5 rarity, "Skywriter", with Disc-O-Texx's even-worse-than-"Get Dancin'" semi-hit, "I Wanna Dance Witchoo".  His chiffon was still wet.

"We spent the night in 'Frisco
Macaulay brought the Crisco"

MJ starts off JJ's '70s party by blamin' it on da boogie. And the media. And Sony.

[RGMike]

back-to-back rarities from JJ: the Manhattans' 1974 "Don't Take Your Love" and Edwin Starr's "Time", his single immediately preceding "War".

and now the Sisters Sledge arrive with the 2nd "Disco/'Frisco" rhyming of the evening. Guess JJ just couldn't resist.
