I was distracted by the radio being off air, but can anyone explain to me exactly how the Hiatt tune qualified to kick off this set?

"it's a long weekend and we're drivin' south."

Does flyin' south count? I gotta leave for the airport in about 10 minutes...
Let's get right to it.

Hoping to hear a goofy song that Dave used to play once upon a time: "It's a party / It's a party party / A party party weekend."
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

WOS to Wang Chung and one of the dumbest songs ever written.   >:(

Quick, how many other self-referential songs can we name before "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" ends?

I don't think he'll have a choice! (But I'm planning on being in Marin and SF pretty much exclusively, so it's Doyle Drive and 101 backups for me!)

I was just listening to that this week!

Ton of rap songs fit this, as does Fergie's "Fergalicious."
