• "You and Me" was the only song to break the 100.
• Angel City was the name used by the Australian rock band "The Angels" in North America, Japan, and Europe.
• "Boney Maronie" is from the "Up the Academy Soundtrack". I don't remember the movie.

• "Boney Maronie" is from the "Up the Academy Soundtrack". I don't remember the movie.

It's an "Animal House"-style comedy set in a military school, most notable for being a presented by Mad Magazine ( I think they were trying to pull off what National Lampoon had with the aforementioned "AH" ). I just browsed the Wiki page for the movie, & it pretty much lines up with my memory of it.

 

[Channel98]

Bony Moronie was written by Larry Williams, whose original recording of the song was a #14 pop hit and #4 R&B hit in December 1957. The song has been recorded by more than 60 artists including Ian Whitcomb, Ritchie Valens, Little Richard, John Lennon, Johnny Winter, Frankie Ford, Cliff Richard, Donny Most, the Standells and the Flying Burrito Brothers. The title has been spelled several different ways including Bony Maronie, Bonie Maronie, Boney Moroney, Bony Moroni and Bonnie Moronie. Here is the original:

Good 5
Okay 16
Bad 19

I think years of listening to the VJ is softening me up, turning some bads to okays.

I won't have time for the full post with 'never 40' etc (this week, and probably not next week either).

But I went with "Still Rock N Roll" at #2. At least one other person chose "Coming Up" so I didn't win.

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

30 good for 1985. One channel changer at #7.

In a typical SXM lack of planning moment, after the countdown played today, the first song they played was "Possession Obsession" by Daryl Hall & John Oates.

 

[HecticArt]

I think that was actually 19. A couple of nostalgia tracks, but not too bad for me.

 

[Aaron]

30 for me

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Another countdown with a Bang A Gong remake.

 

[scotchandcigar]

20 good for me.
