Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I have an old Sirius XM receiver that records. So I program it to spend half the weekend recording programs to play during the week while I work. The programs include 4 oldies countdowns -- one each from a week in the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s.
Right now, I'm listening to a countdown from this week in 1994. I don't remember "Wild Night" sounding so good.
Oh, I used to love that song! Pretty sure I bought the cassingle. Plus, it introduced me to Me'Shell Ndegeocello.
