"Ride Like The Wind"?

 

[HecticArt]

Yep.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Yep.

Couldn't resist the Michael MacDonald cameo.

 

[sadchild]

So busy over the weekend I've only heard the first half. I may not finish it. I'll give myself until tomorrow to get back to it. If not, I'll just look at the top 40 and comment.

Captain & Tennille "Do That To Me" #27
Queen "Crazy Little Thing" #3
Pink Floyd "Another Brick" #1

This is as far as I listened this week. First time in a long time I haven't heard all (or most) of the VJ. That's what happens when you're not home from 7am until almost bedtime both days!

At least one of the others picked this

01 01 PINK FLOYD - ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (PART II)

#99 Romantics "What I Like About Y

The only surprise. I would have thought that this would have broken 40.

 

[goreds2]

The only surprise. I would have thought that this would have broken 40.

Romantics "What I Like About You” is my top 5 of 80’s songs.
Please please do not imagine me dancing to that in my college days.

 

[HecticArt]

Romantics "What I Like About You” is my top 5 of 80’s songs.
Please please do not imagine me dancing to that in my college days.

Damn. Too late!

 

[sadchild]

[MonoStereo]

Romantics "What I Like About You” is my top 5 of 80’s songs.
Please please do not imagine me dancing to that in my college days.

So you're literally saying it's something we would not like about you.

Comments:
* Real Love", "Street Life", and "Is This The Best" were still hanging four weeks later: May 1, 2022
* I always thought the title to "I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance" was "Oops Upside your Head".

Playlist:

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I don't recognize a single bubbling song this week.

 

[seasalt43]

I don't recognize a single bubbling song this week.

The Gap Band record was the only one I recognized.

 

[sadchild]

Same. But I didn't know it back then, I only know it because it inspired the "Oops Upside Your Head" songs of the 90s/2000s

 

[HecticArt]

I didn't realize Snap did Ooops.
