BOS #3, "Waiting for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" (at least I'm pretty sure Bob will give us this as a twin spin).

BOS2 "Boddhisatva". Another major religion covered.  It's an ecumenical set!

Quick, think of a song from '73 that mentions Jews.

I have heard this before, but it was not one of those minor songs to become a "KSHE Classic".  Sounds very fresh though.

Gimme 3 Steps, gimme BOS6.

Nationally, it peaked at #34, and got only a smattering of East Coast play. Ian Thomas was Canadian, so I figured this was an upper-midwest crossover hit.

And Tune #10 is only the second in the set that I wouldn't give a BOS vote to.

Great set, but something other than "Gimme Two Steps" would have made it a Stellar set.  Like maybe "Tuesday's Gone", or "Mississppi Kid" or "I Ain't the One".

Hey Gaz, how about a list of songs containing an ellipsis?


Michael Bolton, "Said I Loved You ... But I Lied"
Michael Bolton, "Can I Touch You ... There?"
Britney Spears, "... Baby One More Time" (though the ellipses were truncated during its chart run)
Chicago, "If She Would Have Been Faithful ..." (I can't believe I remember that one; it was the 1985 follow-up to "Will You Still Love Me")

Bonus Tracks: the only two charting songs (to my knowledge) with em dashes:
"River Deep—Mountain High"
"Heartbeat—It's a Lovebeat"

Glad I got home in time for the replay, this is almost One For The Ages.  Co-BOS votes to "Grey Seal" (one of my favorite Taupin lyrics, and the song still evokes walking through the Tenderloin in the fall of '96) and "Painted Ladies."  Had the latter been in a 1978-1981 set, I'd've thought it was the Little River Band, as I've only heard this once or twice before.
