A FEW SELECTIONS FROM NOVEMBER 1979

PLAY THE SHOW

If it’s Wednesday, then it must be 1959, or 1969…or as is the case today, 1979. 1979 was not one of my favorite years for popular music, and unfortunately, today’s show dwells a bit on some of the most rancid hits to ever reach the top 40. Luckily, we absolve ourselves by playing a few select album tracks as well. We hope you enjoy the show, but to avoid embarrassment, you might want to make sure that your windows are closed while listening (one caller actually told us that he had to crank up is car window so people wouldn’t think he actually liked the stuff we were playing. I thought that was hysterically funny, so I’m compelled to do it again!).

Here’s what we play today;

1) Crusin’ – Smokey Robinson

2) Chiquitita – Abba

3) Escape (The Pina Colada Song) – Rupert Holmes (as a ‘Bad Hit’)

4) Jane – Jefferson Starship (another ‘Bad Hit’)

5) Coward of the County – Kenny Rogers (yet another ‘Bad Hit’)

6) Tusk – Fleetwood Mac

7) Broken English – Marianne Faithful

8) I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide – ZZ Top
