Woo Hoo!

And how many other hits have been structured as solo-verse-solo-verse-solo, with no refrain?

Sorry, but WOS to Mayall. Not feeling it.

I knew you were gonna say that!

BOS the Mighty Zep. Percy's woman found a "brown-eyed man" with a bigger percy than Percy.

BOS2 to "White Bird." Proxy of Geoff and Alicat?

It's a beautiful day to hear It's A Beautiful Day.

it's funny -- I had not heard this song in, like, 15 years ('80s thru '90s), and then the (short-lived) SF version of the Drive pulled it out of mothballs and since then, I've heard it dozens of times.

"I told you 'bout" cribbing self-referential songwriting from John Lennon. Still, BOS3 to "Space Cowboy." No, I wasn't ready for that, thanks for asking.

as they said to me during my sigmoidoscopy: "Bet you weren't ready for THAT!"

Red Ames, Roy Clark, Joni Mitchell, and the Monkees!

In anticipation of her lover's late-night call, Lucie slowly unbuttoned her bodice.
Good times. Bad times. You know I've had my share.
I'd just sat down to my morning pipe when there was a rap on my door, which, by sound alone, led me to believe it was a 5-foot-tall French chimney sweep with the gout.
It was one helluva time.
Marley was as dead as a doornail.

proxy of geoff: "Albatross". has anyone ever played this in conjunction with the Pythons' "Albatross!" clip?
-
Mark's BOS, doubtless: "Badge," my BOS4 too. Even if I have no idea what it's about.
Was it one of you who told me the song title came from its chord progression?
-
VHM Walter Matthau & Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower -- her Oscar-winning role.

VHM Walter Matthau & Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower -- her Oscar-winning role.
I've often heard that cited as one of the least-deserved Oscars ever. But I've never seen the film and don't know who her competition was, so I've no idea.

BOS Badge, my favorite bridge of all time.

Mark's BOS, doubtless: "Badge," might've drove it too far.
Was it one of you who told me the song title came from its chord progression?
Wasn't the chord progression, but rather Clapton's sloppy handwriting. He'd written "bridge" on the lead sheet and Bruce couldn't read it and thought it said "Badge." They joked about it and the name stuck.

quite a good lineup, but Goldie was the beloved "it girl" of the day thanks to "Laugh-In".

and yes, I do believe I mentioned that before, but I had it that George Harrison contributed the bridge (it sure sounds like his kind of guitar work to me) and it was his sloppy handwriting that evoked the name.

My nominee for that distinction is also in this category, but 21 years later:
1990
Whoopi Goldberg - Ghost as "Oda Mae Brown" (winner)
Annette Bening - The Grifters as "Myra Langtry"
Lorraine Bracco - Goodfellas as "Karen Hill"
Diane Ladd - Wild at Heart as "Marietta Fortune"
Mary McDonnell - Dances with Wolves as "Stands With A Fist"
If I'd been in charge either Bening or Bracco would have won, but winner would have certainly come in 5th. In fact I'd probably be able to find several more deserving performances to give her nomination to in the first place.
