Diana at her most melodramatic -  "locked your love away from me! -- GASP!"

[Gazoo]

Diana at her most melodramatic -  "locked your love away from me! -- GASP!"

"And the lonely cry fades the air."  WTF?

I can only assume the script read "...fades IN the air" but La Ross screwed it up -- and nobody wanted to correct her. ('cause she's the Boss.)

[RGMike]

yay for 'erman's underrated 'ermits and their 'ush. (you missed the flip, "No Milk Today", earlier -- love that fab Graham Gouldman compo).

[RGMike]

mmmm... fish'n'finger pie!

[RGMike]

Offshore greeted me this morning with Manfred Mann's "My Name Is Jack" -- I cannot tell you how much I loved this one when I was 13, or how crushed I was that it wasn't a huge hit.

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL -- Ms King with a follow-up to "Take Good Care of My Baby", which she also wrote, "He Takes Good Care of Your Baby", written from the POV of the girl who was, er, taken. I'm sometimes astounded that there are 40-year-old records like this that are still NTM.

[RGMike]

'LNG plays a super-long 12" mix of Nu Shooz, "I can't wait". and follows it with Nancy Sinatra in shu-shu-shu-shu-shu-shu-Sugartown.  Which is apparently near "Loveland" 'cause that's the next tune. Amazing.

[RGMike]

Tuned into Lost 45s in time for the fabulous "Softly Whispering I Love You" by the English Congregation -- still gives me chills.  All is forgiven, Barry Scott!

[RGMike]

Barry's got a total Gaz-fest going here, with Eddy Grant's "Romancing the Stone" followed by Bo Donaldson, "Who Do You Think You Are?"  And for me, there was Toby Beau's "My Angel Baby".

And OMG it's the Osmonds' finest hour: "The Proud One" -- they shoulda done nothing but 4 Seasons covers from then on.

[RGMike]

OMGWTF: Cher with a NTM rarity, "Classified 1-A", an antiwar tune written by Sonny (from the POV of a soldier dying in Vietnam) that was  "too controversial" to get radio play in 1971.  Rather overwrought, but I'm glad I heard it.

Oh, rats, wish I'd caught these.  I just got back from DC - had a fun time with some college friends, including performing "One Night in Bangkok" and Wham!'s "Freedom" at karaoke.
