No "sigh-ah-lence" from me: BOS2-BOS2, Go-Go's.

Hide your cars, bars, guitars, and anything else that rhymes. Here comes the Man From Mars. Is this possibly the worst rap ever to chart so highly?

Silliest, sure, but by no means worst.  For worst, I'd say anything by Puff Daddy, probably "I'll Be Missing You."

Meanwhile, BOS to the Go-Gos for no particular reason.  A nice but unspectacular set.

The Go-Gos get the "Most 81 of Set" for me.

Worse than "Ice Ice baby"? I think not.  Don't forget Sir Mix-a-Lot (apologies to Beej)



Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly         #  huh???
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

CHORUS
Ice ice baby vanillla (x4)


extra points for using "poisonous mushroom"

Yes! thank you, I'd blocked that one from memory; one of the worst singles of the '90s of any stripe.

Wow, quick set. But for some reason nothing really hit with me. On the other hand, nothing made me gag, either. If I have to pick a BOS it'd be either the Squeeze or Donnie Iris tunes.

After 74, 80, and 77, have to assume late 80s or 90s is practically a certainty.

ETA: 1981! Wow, are they skewing the selection away from the late 80s or something? I'm speechless!

If we get another '90s Friday tomorrow then a pattern will have emerged.  Dave's done a couple of here-comes-the-weekend sets before a holiday, and he even did a pre-summer set for the Fri before Mem'l Day a few years back. Wonder if we might get one of those.
