and sure enuf here's a "HAAAY!" for Starpoint.  But first we gotta conga. Unfortunately.

WOS3 Survivor "Eye of the Burning Tiger Heart"

Kool & the Gang's "Emergency" is one you never hear... and with good reason.

Elton and George wrap her up... and stuff her in the trunk of their car. No wonder EJ defended Eminem.

Hour 3, WOS4: The Goat. "a wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect" -- so does a voice, Stevie.

WOS5 Glenn Frey.

Olay your Hans, Brinker!


VHM Dionne & Friends, "That's What Coke Dealers Are For"  BOS3 Scritti Politti.

This week That '70s Casey goes to Dec 22nd 1979 (with the usual first hour deleted):

And Casey's '80s is from Dec 26th 1987:

Question is, with most stations in all-Xmas mode that weekend...  will we even get to hear either of these?

[Big Fingers McGee]

Kool & the Gang's "Emergency" is one you never hear... and with good reason.

I don't know... that might not be the worst 85 request ever. Didn't sound too much different than "Misled", which has also been lost to history.

WOS4: The Goat

I don't get it. Stevie Nicks? Obviously, I'd give a WOS for this chart to Starship. Probably the only song on this chart that I'd do that to (although repeated airings of "Separate Lives" would invariably do the trick).

[Big Fingers McGee]

Songs from this chart that could get some more 10@10 love, IMHO.

40 Sex As A Weapon, Pat Benatar
39 One Of The Living, Tina Turner
38 Sun City, Artists United Against Apartheid
37 I'm Your Man, WHAM!
35 Part Time Lover, Stevie
31 Spies Like Us, Paul McCartney
28 It's Only Love, Bryan Adams & Tina Turner
21 Emergency, Kool & The Gang
20 Wrap Her Up, Elton f/ George
16 Tonite She Comes, Cars
  6 Election Day, Arcadia

for those who might be underwhelmed by a truncated 1979 chart on Saturday (assuming CKRU actually runs it and not Xmas stuff)... Rewound Radio

http://rewoundradio.com/

will be running a four-hour, unedited Dan Ingram show from WABC in Dec of 1969 -- when all the songs are from the station's "Top 100 of 1969". It will air at 9 Pacific/noon Eastern. Sounds awesome to me (and Gaz should def check it out if he's near a computer at that hour)

Been listening to the Ingram thing for the last hour-and-a-half; it's wonderful.  And BTW, CKRU are not running the 1979 chart; they went with a Casey Xmas special instead.

Not much to say other than I'm enjoying this flashback to what is one of the more sledgehammery years of my life.  But -- eeek! -- WOS Donna Fargo's godawful "Funny Face", tho' it's not as skippidy-doo-dah-dreadful as her other hit, "Happiest Girl in the USA"

uno momento poquito: sounds like an extended outro on "Pillow Talk". Nice teddy. or nice daddy. or something.

OMG: Jose F has a whole thread going on FB about this Casey countdown.

a twin-spin for the ages: Cher's "Half Breed" followed by "Night the Lights Went Out in GA", written for Cher but rejected by Sonny -- he didn't want to offend "our Southern fans". But a song called "half breed" couldn't possibly be offensive??



all the downtown ladies call it TreeTop Apple Juice... all the men just call it cider.

Just switched to Magic 98's Casey-thon: a 12/11/76 show beginning with Dr Buzzard and Kenny Nolan.

ooo! Tavares, "Don't Take Away the Music"!

[Here'sToYa!]

OMG: Jose F has a whole thread going on FB about this Casey countdown.

Thread is an understatement. 327 posts!

I've been listening w/out comment (I'm making sauce for lasagna) but jeezus this Donny & Marie cover of "Soul & Inspiration" (from '78) is unspeakably horrid, even for them.

OMFG: Magic 98 is playing the full-length 45 mix of the WKRP song!  Nicest surprise of the day.

[RGMike]

The first hour of this Top 100 of 1983 is quite the cheezefest: Frank Stallone, Loverboy, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Asia and the Tubes when they were crappy. Think I'll pass...
