6 April 2010: 1988
« on: April 06, 2010, 08:33:04 AM »
according to AL's clue on the promo and her FB page: "the year Stephen Hawkings' A Brief History of Time was published."  I've requested either Joan Jett or Lita Ford, to continue the Runaways theme from yesterday.

Holy Toledo!  A Proclaimers song other than "500 Miles".  No doubt I've never heard this before, though hearing it now, I'm not surprised.

Holy crap -- the Proclaimers are on their wee, er, way. An ATBB that barely got any airplay in '88 afaik.

And whoa, a "They Might Be Giants" song other than "Birdhouse in Your Soul".  "Purple Toupee"?  Great!

I'm glad you did the work for us, b/c it's hard to find a mondegreen in a song you can't stand hearing!  ;)

I found it quite clever at the time but I don't think it's aged well -- and this 12" version isn't helping.
