KPOO etc week of 8/20/12
« on: August 23, 2012, 09:03:09 AM »
2NG's retro chart is Aug 1981 -- OMFG I haven't heard Debbie Harry's "Backfired" in a dog's age.

Kate Bush, "Sat in Your Lap" is NTM. I know a lotta guys who'd've liked a lap dance from Kate back in the day.

One for the Song-title-is-the-group-name list: "Visage" by Visage.

obscure Siouxie: "Arabian Nights"

eeek: Enigma (not the '90s group that did "Sadeness", but an '80s Stars-on-45-style medley outfit) with a godawful clap-track compendium of then-recent hits. Truly worthless.  There were SEVEN (!) such medley records in the Top 40 that week. A plague, for sure.

Wow: UB40's "One in Ten".

uber-wow: Bill Wyman, "Je Suis Un RockStar"! mais oui!

woo hoo: Spandau Ballet, "Chant #1 (I Don't Need This Pressure)"

Aneka's "Japanese Boy" -- soon to be a UK #1 -- is the rarity of the week. And Human League's "Love Action", which we in the USA wouldn't hear until the following year, is at #3. This is Phil talkin'!

Someone at WDAS has a brain: They just played the Duprees' "You Belong to Me" followed by Love Unltd's "I Belong To You". Cute.
