"Sowing the Seeds of Love" always makes me happy.

[Big Fingers McGee]

Hahaha...here's your perfunctory INXS, Swellegant!

I must say the INXS and Robert Palmer are saving this set.

Lemme guess: "Need You Tonight" and "Simply Irresistable"?

Close, "New Sensation".

Somewhat aproptiate: That is a more fun song.

He's in the FB names list I sent you.  Might wanna message him via FB if you have access where you're at now.

I love this TFF song.  A masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned (and the first CD single I ever bought.)

[ggould]

I like Midnight Oil, does that make is passé?

 

[sundaygal]

Good politics, but not my vibe, musically.

Agreed - overplayed as it might be, I never get tired of it. OTOH, the first CD I bought was Phil Collins' "But Seriously", and let's just say it doesn't get much play.

BOS Stan Freberg w/ Sarah Vaughn. Otherwise, meh.

[RGMike]

Man, this party's bunk!

Looks like I picked the right day to go to work.

And I picked the wrong day not to. Open up your fruitcake.

is that what he says?   Well, I'll be.

Actually, I think I heard "fruitcage" this time.

I always assumed it was "fruitCAGE", 'cause he says "show me 'round your..." and I don't know how you would show someone 'round a fruitcake. Unless you were miniature-ized a la Fantastic Voyage. OTOH, I never met anyone who keeps their fruit in a cage.

Awfully glad I missed this (well except for Stan, Sarah and their toast-and-marmaladio); totally agree with urth re: fixing what ain't broke. I'm afraid to read the rave reviews on FB. But birthday cakes are supposed to be "on fire" I guess.

You just aren't being creative enough.

Agreed.  But I will give some love to the Stray Cats.  I *loved* that album when it came out.

I'll second all of this, except for me I'd swap out 91 with 89.
