'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

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.

OK. That made me feel old, too.

1980: you already have my two suggestions: Blondie and B-52s.

1980 is one of the few years that Dlyan put out an album that is totally unusable for these purposes. 1980 was was in his born-again phase I think. Which is cool - but didn't make for the best albums.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Monty Python released their Contractual Obligation Album in 1980. That could be fun.

Dude. Kate is younger than my baby brother.

I thought of U2, but I'm using a song of theirs for another track, and the only artist I'm willing to repeat if I have to is the Nields. I have no Prince, no XTC, no Squeeze, some Elvis Costello but not the right year.

Up with the sun

"Rock Lobster" would be an excellent choice. Is it really 1980? I would've guessed earlier.

Edit: X-post.

I didn't mean to make everyone feel old! Sorry.

"Rock Lobster" is 1979? Damn. I got it off a clearly misinformed website.

Yeah, stop it! Speed up your aging process to make me feel better!
