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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Okay, Shawn, I've decided to write about Klymaxx's Meeting In The Ladies Room. It lets me write about that whole early 80s era of electro funk that overlapped with dance pop
YES! If not because of the legitimation, but just because it's such an 80s expression. Considering how hip hop drowned out most black women for the late eighties, Meeting in the Ladies Room is almost a bit rap.

Thanks to David I will now be singing Word Up for the next week or so. I am also craving the sight of a tall fade.
It's the code word.

So, does a cover version of a song have to have been originally performed by the writer?
I have downloaded three versions of a song from the very first album I ever bought for myself, and all three were duds. I have moved on to the next album...

Larry Blackmon is your man.
Kat P., if I trade in some of my vinyl for cheap CDs I think I'll make a compilation of that early 80s dance/funk/pop stuff. I'll make sure you get a copy. (You too, Shawn.)

Sue, not in my book. The original recorder of the song is who I would consider the original artist.

I've finished my mix: all twenty categories covered, total timing 79 minutes 42 seconds! Is anyone else cutting it closer to the bone than that?
I don't believe in guilty pleasures either, so I'm using my selection to, er, critique the category. I encourage others similarly to take advantage of every opporunity to (1) cheat, and (2) be pretentious!

I'll check...
I know I had to shave the pause time down to burn it.

Picking a song from my birth year (one that isn't guaranteed to have people shedding tears of lunacy, laughter, depression, or as a precursor to their head exploding) has been one of the tougher tasks.
A few (seriously there's quite a few more of these classics) of the rejected chart-toppers are,
- Onward Christian Soldiers
- Just A Closer Walk With Thee
- Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
- Little Boy Lost
- Running Bear
and
- A Summer Place
I know where you're coming from DX.
