Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

Closed Threads

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.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I had to cut one of the "bonus" categories, but I really wanted to try to stump Hec & Jon. (Although it was a local artist, so I don't know that it would have counted anyway.)

I chose to cut "song you like just for the title." It didn't make me too sad, but I did really like the song.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And I am having the devil's own time finding a song from the year I was born that 1) I like and 2) I own.

What year were you born, Kate? (The answer is going to make me reach for my heart medicine, I know). 1978?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was thinking "Greatest Hits of the Eighties" would probably have something for her.

PS. You don't get to complain. I had to find something from 1952!

Oh, David. Do you really want to know? Okay, I'll whitefont it to spare the rest of you: 1980 .

1978 is easy. Or, okay, I thought it was easy. Possibly because I've been listening to the song in question a lot lately anyhow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was afraid of that.

While that was a bad year for the folkie stuff you cut your teeth on, that's not a bad year for music at all.

Elvis Costello's Get Happy came out that year.

XTC's Black Sea.

Squeeze's Argybargy.

When I did a song for each year of my life mix, my 1980 song was "Love Song," by the Au Pairs. I know U2's Boy is that year too, and maybe some early Cure stuff? Blondie? Prince?

I'm kinda stumped.

Prince?

Dirty Mind - 1980.

Police - Zenyatta Mondatta.

But my music collection is pretty deficient in 1980's Golden Greats. The best I can come up with is Blondie's "Atomic" (from the Bend It Like Beckham soundtrack), which, while it's a good song, is not really one that I have much personal attachment to. I'm thinking of picking up a B-52s album for "Rock Lobster" (because I really should have some B-52s anyway).

That's 1979 (it was big my freshman year).

But "Private Idaho" is 1980.
