Buffistas

Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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.

Kate, those of us born during the Carter administration have to stick together. We are NOT YOUNG, dammit. (I mean, young enough for all reasonable purposes, but not so freakishly young that we should make others feel old.)

Billboard Top Hits compilation for 1980

I would be SO tempted to use something from the Fame soundtrack -- either the title cut or "I Sing the Body Electric"

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

Are you wickedly opposed to reggae, Kate?

Bob Marley's Uprising came out in 1980 which has "Redemption Song" - one of my faves.

Ann, that's a ferret.

1980. Blondie? "Call Me" and Autoamerican. The album included "The Tide Is High" and "Rapture."

Xanadu, which has its fans around here, came out that year. ELO's "All Over the World." Olivia Newton-John's "Magic."

Since Billy Joel was mentioned here recently, I'll note his Glass Houses. Includes "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "You May Be Right."

I have a strange weak spot for Bob Seger -- Against the Wind. Title track could easily work in a folk vein.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

What do you listen to? It could be a song from 1980, so a cover from another year would work. Or possibly a sample of a 1980 song on a hip hop tune.

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

Squeeze's "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" is from 1980. And you should be owning that anyway.

Also Pete Townsend's excellent solo record Empty Glass with his HoYayful "Rough Boys."

Leftover doughnut --

Fame soundtrack. Urban Cowboy was also big that year -- was it Mickey Gilley who covered "Stand by Me"? And for glossy ballads, there's Boz Scaggs' "Look What You Done to Me." And the perfect first-dance song for the couple at any wedding reception, Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance."

What-evah. It's all about lighting up the sky like a flame, or possibly celebrating the me yet to come.
