BOS3 this MJ alt-mix of "BJ"
Back in 83/84, there was a great mashup of Billie Jean music with vocals of Steely Dan's Do It Again, worked well, although I don't recall who did it.  

YES!  I was thisclose to posting about this. very clever -- tho' not what we now call a mashup (someone re-recorded both songs and medley-ized 'em).  I've been looking for it for years.

shall we play a game? 
BOS for Wargames.  It's Ally Sheedy too, right? 
Yep. Wonder what she's up to lately? She was quite the BratPack honey in the early/mid-80s, but disappeared not long after.

Ally update:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ally_Sheedy
She was always a favorite of mine.  And now her daughter is almost as old as she was when Wargames came out.  We're old...
ETA: I take that back.  Her daughter is only 2/3 her age at Wargames time.  But we're still old.
We are still too old.  Can we take that back??

I've got it on a mix cassette someone made for me back then.

Give 'em all some place to go

BOS4 or 5, BJ, "Uptown Girl", still a glorious 4 Seasons pastiche.

I'm this close to giving my overall BOS vote to BJ's paean to Christie.
Let's get right to it.

BOS, for flashback reasons, "Belly of the Whale".

Had a feeling we might hear this today (not a big stretch in '83). Proxy o' Rod, just so's we don't forget.

I bet a lot of people these days think she's married to Chuck Norris.

Ooh, always nice to hear "Belly of the Whale", which really stands the test of time (imho).

Pretty good set all the way around.
