How about 1986 so we can get a little Yankee Rose for a TOTHC?

This beat goes on, all right, but the Farfisa jingling in the background should not.

Jingling farfisas be damned- I'll give this song that's, like, 2 songs- the second one being "Switchin to Glide" (and the only one my stoner-brain remembers) an Honorable Flashback.

Uh. Yeah.
nakes? On my plane?

I'd love that, actually -- talk about a forgotten major hit.

My sister- famous for amazing feats of Mondigreenism- thought that Macca song was called "Tummy Up"...

BOS - Whip It  (one of my all-time favorites ...  I'm not embarrassed to admit)
Now I'm eight bits...

I wish Dave would play "Freedom of Choice" instead of this.  It's far more relevant to our current relationship with media and entertainment.

"Whip It" is a great song- but there's a whole lotta really great DEVO from 'round this time I'd rather hear.

Wow, Dave casts "Jackson Browne" spell vindictively against the Princess and does 2d4 damage!

Agreed, but  wasn't that on a later LP? - "The New Traditionalists" I remember it around 1982ish
