Indeed, I'm giving it BOS7, and I rarely BOS "extras". Deserved better, chart-wise. Just lovely.

Final BOS before I exit: Nu Shooz. Cheeziest. Synth-line. EVAH!  And a classic mondegreen: "I love you -- even when you don't drive"

BOS9 Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait".  Oh, hell yeah.  I couldn't believe she was a white chick when I saw the video.  

BOS10 JJ "What Have You Done For Me Lately?"  Soap opera sez...

BOS11 OMD "If You Leave".  Good tune, but not the best one from this amazing soundtrack (Bring On The Dancing Horses, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want, Shellshock, etc.)

BOS12 PSBs "West End Girls". Just you wait 'til I get you home. Why, Neil...so we can do facials?  OK!

VHM "Live To Tell".  Madge looked especially lovely in this video.  I still can't believe she was married to Sean Penn.

BOS13 "The Greatest Love Of All".  Crack is whack!

Co-BOS from me as well.  LOVE that song.  And the goofy vid.

VHM Falco's Vienna Sausage is calling...ay yay yay!


Someone on the AT40 geek board asked "Vienna Calling sounds a lot like Der Kommissar. Any connections between Falco and ATF?"

And you thought Fogheads were dense...

Chaka wants me to "Stay". Charmed, I'm sure. VHM Rod, who was only joking... or WAS he?

Cheeze(burger) for breakfast: VHM a Buffett buffet. and here's Dolly with her two humongous, er, "Doors".

BOS the lovely "Bluer Than Blue". "Isn't That Cute?" Award to Ms Ronstatdt, attempting to do "Tumbling Dice". "People try to rape me"?? Seriously?

and speaking of rape, Crapton wants Sally to lay down. Unhand that woman! VHM Raydio.  BOS2 "Heartless", one of Ann & Nancy's best 45s IMHO.

Heart's nicking a bit from "Long Cool Woman" on "Heartless."  And the refrain sounds more like "Hot Lips."

agreed on both counts.

VHM "Dance With Me", hee hee. BOS3 Mr Palmer.  I never need to hear "Werewolves" ever again.

Casey answers a letter asking if 2 artists who had hit #1 separately have ever made a record together that also reached the top. And I said out loud "Neil D and Babs!"... but that record didn't exist yet in May of '78.
