29 July 2010: it's... 1978

Grease is the word, sez AL. Me, I've asked for some solo David Johanssen: "Funky But Chic".

Meanwhile, can't believe anyone would request "Werewolves of London", as if it doesn't get played a gazillion times a month, but sure enuf it's on the FB thread. And someone asked for EWF's "Sing a Song", which is from '75. Sheesh. There was also a suggestion for "Teenage Kicks", which if she plays it (and I'm betting she does) will officially be her new most-played track.  Maybe instead of Katrinas we should start calling them Undertones.

There's a person who posts every day on AL's Facebook page who should really change her name to Super Katrina. I wonder if Annalisa pops in here?

Yeah, but Teenage Kicks is such a great song.  I don't mind it being a Katrina!

Just out of curiosity, based on the shray database, what song holds the 10@10 record for most plays?

Happily waiting in the wings for this set. Couldn't make time to post on FB. Good stuff already suggested.

the by-now patented AL ploy: opening with a well-worn, overplayed "classic". Things can only get better, as HoJo once sang.

Exactly, we'll get at least one nice gem (or 2 or 3)!

gee, for a second there, I thought I had tuned into The Band -- I think one out of 20 songs they play is by Boston.

Still, I love it!   HM just because.

Alrighty, the next time 1985 rolls around, I'm requesting Hojo for the top-of-the-hour cooker.

But seriously, when 1986 comes up, I'd love to hear "You Know I Love You (Don't You, Don't You)".

DUUUUDE! Styx is blue-collar, man. Or at least they were before they went platinum.
