well, this Xmas '88 retro-chart on CG is quite interesting -- a cover of "I say a Little Prayer" by Bomb the Bass (new to me) followed by Bananarama's cover of "Nathan Jones" (from the RainMan sndtk, iirc).
-
oh no! we're "Loco in Aca-poco"!

Artist was immortalized in Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance": "Bomb the Bass - rock this place!"
PS: I saw there was an EP on that chart they're recapping. Do they play the entire EP in the countdown, or select a track from it?

we'll be lucky to hear one tune, I reckon. And indeed "Buffalo Stance" is coming up. Didn't hit in the US until Spring/Summer '89 as I recall.
Wearin' padded bras!
Drinkin' beer thru straws!

That totally made my week -- hadn't heard it in ages. Would that Dave would bust it out for an '89 set. "Y'know'tahmean?"
-
WTF??? Pet Clark's "Downtown" was a hit re-release in '88!
And Lady Cliff just called Ethel Merman "Methyl Ermine". LOL!
-
AAACK! next week's retro chart is from the week in '78 when "Dreadlock Holiday" was #1.
-
Thank gawd Dave's '89 set forced me to bail -- CG is giving me Dusty's sublime "Goin' Back".

followed -- holy crap! -- by Nina Simone's "I Got Love", Sandie Shaw's fab "Long Live Love" (later covered by Tracey Ullman), and Ms King's "It Might As Well Rain Until Sept". I'm in heaven.
-
Wow -- some sort of remix of Shirley Bassey's 1967 version of "Big Spender".
-
Woo Hoo! Eddie Kendricks lets his love flood your Watergate! I only ever hear this version of "Boogie Down" on CG.
-
OMG! Greg plays Pigbag, "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag". A lost '80s gem.
-
Indeed, today's AT40 recap is the second half of the 1978 year-end. "Dust in the Wind" at 39, "The Closer I Get to You" at 38.
-
I didn't know that: Longtime hitmeister Barry Mann co-wrote the melody of Dan Hill's otherwise dismal "Sometimes When We Touch." Now ABBA gets Erasuresque at 32, and Raydio's "Jack & Jill" makes a surprise appearance at 31. Seriously, when's the last time anyone played this on the radio?
-
Peter Brown! "Dance With Me" at 29.
I imagine the final hour of this will be all Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, and other RSO acts.
-
OMGWTF: Always a treat to hear Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good" in an unironic context. Still love the drumming work on this.
-
Chic's "Dance, Dance, Dance" was on the charts for SIX MONTHS?!?

(Yeah, that works out to only about 25 or 26 weeks, but I thought that never happened until much later. Then again, Casey just played Nick Gilder's "Hot Child in the City" a little bit ago, and that took 21 weeks to make it to the top.)
-
Casey: "Billboard's predicting that the proportion of disco songs in our countdown will go WAY UP in 1979." A safe bet in hindsight, I suppose. Wonder if he foresaw its slash in '80-'81.
-
OMG, one I NEVER hear: Andy Gibb at #9 with "Love Is Thicker Than Water." That lyric is something.
-
OK, this'll be my last post of the countdown. Casey was rattling off the nationalities of the artists on the year-end chart and included "Guyanese" among them. I haven't the foggiest what artist from Guyana would have charted in 1978. Anyone?

I believe he mentioned during Part One last week that one of the members of HeatWave was from Guyana. But what was that bit about Samantha Sang being the only Aussie woman? ONJ doesn't count??
Glad you got to hear the show this morning -- I'm guessing you're hearing Dave's Xmas card right about now.

I wondered about ONJ as well, but he/they specifically considered her British.
And yeah, caught the card. Great timing!

indeed, per Whitburn, she was born in England. Family moved to Australia when she was 5.
BTW, was anybody listening to the entire marathon? What was the "extra" set/year (only 4 actual sets aired during the week)?
