I finally checked for my year I was born.
Sticky Fingers. Blue. Tupelo Honey. I am spoiled for choice.

'Beneath You'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Before I realized the chorus was "games without frontiers" in French, I thought they were saying "she's so pop-u-lar" but then a friend explained NO it was "she's so funky. yeah."
That's Kate Bush (edit: doing the BVs), and she's saying "jeux sans frontiers" (did I get that right? It's "games without frontiers" in French)

We don't penalize for spelling (frontières); how much did you wager, Jon? </Alex Trebek>
"Love Stinks" was 1980, too, speaking of Boston. (Jon's city; I don't talk about that band.)

I was still in Manhattan in 1980 so I don't talk about them either.
(I bump into Peter Wolf occasionally. He is scary looking).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
She's *not* saying pop-u-lar?!
DAAAAMN. You know what? I'm going to continue to believe that she is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tommyrot: Package received, thank you very much. And it's still loaded with goodies, so thank you even more!
Cool. I forgot the instruction manual but I think you can download that.
Technically I should have deleted the 20 Gig of mp3s on it, but I... forgot. Technically you should delete them too. I'll just assume that you did, OK?

And Sandinista came out in Dec. 1980. How do I know this? I recently got an email from a guy organizing a double CD 25th anniversary tribute (scheduled for release in Dec. 2005 -- duh) wondering if The Lothars would want to contribute. I think we're going to cover "The Call Up".

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I have a friend who swore she thought Stipe was singing "Pull your hood up!" in the chorus of "Cuyahoga." Luckily, I thought she was batty and it didn't ruin the song for me.
