29 July 2010: it's... 1978
« on: July 28, 2010, 03:13:20 PM »
Grease is the word, sez AL. Me, I've asked for some solo David Johanssen: "Funky But Chic".
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

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.

shray or urth may know that off the tops o' their heads; I'd have to research it tonite when i have more time.  It's probably NOT Katrina & the Waves.

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.
