Joe, that Bo Diddley MP3 is from the La Bamba soundtrack album.

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.
And it doesn't involve genitals.
Or asses.

Ha! All my siblings have told that this, plus "Judy in Disguise" by t /memfault and the fast version of "Revolution" were my favorite rocking horse songs when I was a toddler.
Of course, those were relatively contemporary songs on 9" at the time (my oldest brother was king of sock-hop DJs at our local high-scholl, and was a radio DJ for several years), which pretty much dates me now, doesn't it?
9"? Is that a typo, or an actual format?
Isn't it 9" singles? Or is it 7"? Actually, since I have 10" eps, they must be 7".
45s in any case.
Is a first edition paperback of the Greil Marcus-edited Stranded book of essays about critic's dester island disks worth anything? I got it practically free at my church book sale.
Mostly, it's just fun to read rock criticism from a time when punk was happening, Bruce Springsteen was a new artist, and people still took Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles seriously.
(And my desert island disk is and probably will always be Achtung Baby.)
DX's song is by the Hoodoo Gurus.
Great Photo Sue! It would've been funnier had I ever read any Margaret Atwood, but still -- thanks!
It's a typo, Jim. Frank is thinking of 7"ers. Although I do own some 8" records...
I was wondering if it was some crazy sock hop thing I didn't know about
