Unfinished............

The reason that this post is unfinished is because the fat guy that lives downstairs from me decided that Dave and I were too loud and called the police on us!  It was 12:15am and let me tell you folks, the music was NOT loud, my speakers are not the best and I can't get it to be loud even if I tried.  Dave and I laugh ALOT when we are together, but come on!!!!  I am very conscious of the fact that my bedroom (which is where I have my computer) is directly above his!  How can I ever forget as I have to hear him snoring all night long, or listen to his tv all night long and don't EVEN get me started about when he has one of his "girls" over!  But this big coward, whimp-ass, rather than come knock on my door and ask us to keep it down, calls the police!  I am telling you, between the lard-ass that feels the need to monitor my every word and this moron I am ready to pack it up and go live in a very deep hole in the ground!  I'll edit and post the song clips later!  I am too aggrevated right now!



"I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!"  Dave is here tonight folks! And what would you like to say Dave?  "Um....I picked these!"  Ok, thank you Dave.  Yes, Dave picked these songs and this should be a fun night!  He has had an adverse effect on Red Robot though.

Here are Today's 10 + 1 Tunes.......

(Click here to hear clips of these songs)

1.  Supernatural Love - Donna Summer 3:38 (Geffen Records)  "What?"  You were thinking this was Unconditional Love weren't you?    "YES!  Can we change it?"    NO!     "I was thinking this was Unconditional Supernatural Love".  Surprisingly, Dave has left the room to go get us beers!  Um.....the song has ended and he is still not back.  Ok, so, I will just say, this is a very boring song and really has nothing going for it except Donna's voice.  But even she sounds bored with this one!  Oh, look who just came back into the room!!!

"I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!"   What Dave?  "Does anyone know what a West Virginia virgin is?"   Well, I sure don't Dave!   "Ok, Gary, I'll tell you.  A girl who can outrun her brothers!"   Oh, so you mean there has never been one?

2.  Solitaire - Laura Branigan 4:00 (Atlantic Records)  I have a great remix of this song!  I love her voice.  It is nasally and deep.  "Yes, I think she has a cigarette in her nasal passages while singing!"   The girl could really hold a note.  Did you know that Laurie Beechman's "After The Fall" was a Laura Branigan reject?   "No I did not!"  Well, that is because you never listen to me!   Sorry, Dave, what do you want to say about this song?  "Yes.  I always think of this as a sad song but it does have a happy beat to it, doesn't it?"  Yes it does.  NEXT...............................................................

3.  Hot In The City - Billy Idol 3:30 (Chrysalis Records)  This is one of Steven's finds and it was the first time I had heard Billy Idol!  I always thought he sounded like Dracula on this one!   "Sequel to Monster Mash?"  EXACTLY!!!  You hear it too?   "Well, he's on thin ice with me.  Always has been.  I never liked Rebel Yell or White Wedding or the remake song......"   Mony, Mony?   "Yes!!!  That one!"   Well, then you basically don't like Billy Idol cause that is his career!   "Well, no.  I like this one and that other one.  You know.  THAT one!"    Oh yes.  Of course....THAT one!  RR and I are shaking our heads!

4.  Let's Go All The Way - Sly Fox 3:54 (Captiol Records) "Dumm-dumm Zigga-ninny Dumm-dumm zigga-ninny Dumm-dumm zigga-ninny!"  Great way to start this song!  "The sound is incredible.  All the different sounds!"   HE'S GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!  He just can't remember it right now!   "they mix it up like no other song I have ever heard.  I love what the background singers are doing too!"  I know.  The basic beat of the song is very boring but what they did with everything  else made it so freakin cool!!

5.  Working My Way Back To You - Spinners 4:01 (Atlantic Records)  This was the song that made me leave the Jeff Samaha Singers.  I just couldn't picture us doing this song.  And, OH that choreography!  Well, now you know!  Stop asking!  So, Dave, you picked this one.  Got anything to say?   "I love this song because it always played on my bike radio!"    Um, bike radio?   "Yes, didn't you have one?"   eh, no.   "Well mine was taped to the handlebars.  Lotta tape!!!  man, it was so cool.  I was the most popular guy in my 2 block radius!"

6.  Sexcrime (nineteen eighty-four) - Eurythmics 3:56 (RCA Records)  "Of course, I love this song"   AND.......more please.  "Having been molested it really spoke to me.  The song is about Sex CRIMES, right?"  Yes it is!  Ok, so that is lyrically.  What about the sound of the song?  What she does with her voice is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!   "I love that deep thump in the background! It still has hope in the music!"   Such great memories of when this came out.  I played this to death when I DJed!

7.  Go Insane - Lindsey Buckingham 3:05 (Elektra Records)  "This song conjours images of demons for me.  I love how it brings up both good and bad!"   And the title means nothing to you?   "Oh yeh, I forgot about that!  I put my insanity on the back burner."   Some big pots belong on the back burner!  I think this may be the first single he did after breaking free of Fleetwood Mac, yes?   "I think it is!"

8.  Swept Away - Diana Ross 3:58 (RCA Records)  Ok, we both agree that the music for this song is incredible.  And, aside from an occassional growl, her voice is just too thin for the intensity of this song!  I point out to Dave that Daryl Hall co-wrote and co-produced this song.   "Oh!  Now it all makes sense!  His voice is just as thin as hers!"   "But the video is way over the top!"   Over the top of what?  Dave?   Dave?

9.  They Don't Know - Tracey Ullman 2:59 (MCA Records)  Oh so 60s!!!  This is one of Annette's favorite songs!  "Why do I like it?  I don't know! It's cause 'they' don't know!"   I love the faux 60s girl group sound of this and who knew she could sing??????  Have you seen the video for this song?

10.  Wood Beez (pray like aretha franklin) - Scritti Politti 3:39 (Warner Brothers Records)  I freakin' love this song!!!!!  Ok and you hate it, right?   "Didn't this sound like a good idea?"   What?  this song?  "No!  Us doing this post tonight!  Sounded like a good idea about 4 hours ago!"  Now, come on.......when is the last time you have laughed this hard?  

11.  There Goes My Baby - Donna Summer 4:05 (Geffen Records)  Gawd, the beginning of this sounds like Flashdance!  "It was nineteen hundred and eighty four when I first heard this song so I bought the album. I had never bought an album for just one song before.  Anyway, I was at a friend's house and I played it for him. His mom walked in and heard the song and told us that she loved it.  I was so impressed that she knew a new pop song.  She then told us that it was a remake of a song that she loved as a kid.
