this is shit! ; >

(actually i always liked this song)
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:10
1980 was a weird year. Very strange mix of songs. The top 5 are all over the place. You'll see.
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 01:15
you're playing so many slower songs this time.

(cute voice tho)
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:21
It was the year I learned how to slow dance. :-P

I was really nervous about doing the voiceovers. But they worked out well. So thank you.
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 01:24
wasn't it in 80 that they had that disco bonfire and disco sucks rallies and backlash?
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:25
you sound good--smooth, like a WKRP DJ : >

i definitely will do 82.
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:26
you couldn't have just skipped over lionel richie?
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:27
Hey, it was Commodores or more Kenny Rogers. :-P
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 01:36

Eideteker just said my voiceovers were the best part of this set. Heee.
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 01:41
too many slow songs, i think.
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:44
will the tempo be picking up at all?
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:44
Toward the end. This IS the year of Funkytown you know.
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 01:49
toward the end??? this is aging me rapidly, wolf : P
posted by amberglow 19 March | 01:52
Don't make me state the obvious honey. :-P
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 01:55
this is like my parent's version of 1980--the easy listening version.

posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:02
god--finally!
posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:04
*kicks Wolfie out of rocking chair and makes him dance*
posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:05
it was a false alarm--booooo

for all you younger people, 1980 wasn't at all this slow or downbeat. Take a look

Hey, we need to cool it. They know we're flirting over in IRC. :-P
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 02:29

posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:29
this McCartney song was always idiotic.
posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:32

hot n cold fever!
posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:36
perfect, were! : >
posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:36
wolf's doing a middle-aged version of 80, not the teenager he was then.
posted by amberglow 19 March | 02:38
You do NOT want to know what I was doing as a teenager back then.

(stealing cars, stealing boys, running away, crossing state lines, doing lots of lines ... and yet somehow this is the music that was on the radio, but that's all we had back then. Each other and the radio. And we'll always have the Grand Canyon. Sighhhhh.)

Hmph.
posted by WolfDaddy 19 March | 02:40
wait, wolfdaddy - I knew I recognized you from somewhere!
posted by taz 19 March | 02:44
this Off the Wall album was the soundtrack to all the Sweet 16s that i went to...every single one. (that album and Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Pt. 2) : >
