So this week is going to be an example of a normal week here...
Elvis: Why? whut're we gonna screw up this week?
No, I just meant, nobody died, no "look what I stumbled onto" special, Two debuts on the M10...
An' fend fer ourselves fer dinner...
And fend for ourselves on dinner. This will be a quick knockout, so if you'll do us the inestimable honor of cranking out the first debut, I'll prepare us a little fun with the "song I wouldn't turn off" this week!
Sure...here's some guys that ain't been around here for a bit, Two Door Cinema Club at #10...
****************************************************************
That wuz fun!
I thought so, too! And this week we go to 1988 for the song I wouldn't turn off. There were a lot more I liked this week in '88 than what we've been having... not any close-but-not-quites, though. My song was on the way down at #44, but 7 weeks back it was on top of the Cashbox chart. So that leaves 43 songs in front of it. Out of them, I put 13 in the like pile, 9 as don't care one way or the other, 3 hates- and yes, one was a Michael Bolton... and 17 I didn't know by name.
Just curious- what else didja hate?
You know, oversharing what I hate got me in trouble with someone on Time Machine, a long time back...
So? Free speech, ain't it?
Yeah, it is... if you must know, they would be the #1- George Michael's Father Figure; and Whitney Houston's Where Do Broken Hearts Go at #34, for no better reason than how completely her butchery on I Will Always Love You turned me off of her. If not for that, I might have put it in the don't care pile.
See, how c'n people 'spect ta agree with ya, when ya can't even agree with y'self?
Can I get to the song I wouldn't turn off now?
Fire away, boss!
George Harrison and Got My Mind Set On You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gak! Another Beatle!
Oh, grow up! Our second debut is a song KC introduced me to. You'll notice I used the "clean" version of this song here... But the riff is just so engaging, I had to bring it in! Here's Newcomer Aiden Bissett at #9....
****************************************************
So, whut else we got this week?
Only that there are at least 5 songs on the M10- plus one that is in the unofficial #11 spot- I'd have liked to be able to put 3 notches or so higher! Bud, you get the M10!
Geez, I kinda feel skimped this week! Anyway, here ya go...
8- That's Wet Leg's Angelica, down 4 in week #6...
7- That's Maneskin and Tom Morello with Gossip, still stuck at the same spot...
6- There's one that actually did move- up four fer Imagine Dragons an' Follow You...
5- Down 2 fer the Arcs and A Man Will Do Wrong...
4- There's another climber, up four fer Tennis an' Forbidden Doors...
3- a 2-spot climb fer Cafune and Reconsider...
2- Brought to a screeching halt shy of the top, Linkin Park and Lost....
An' still at the top...
...Lauren Daigle an' Look Up, Child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, see ya next week, gang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This whole post was fun

DeleteA couple of light and breezy tunes this week. The first video was fun to watch. ☺ A big YUCK for Michael Bolton, from me. Not a huge fan of George Michael or Whitney Houston either, but unlike you, I enjoyed her version of Dolly's song - and it made Dolly a shit ton of money, which she put to good use. George Harrison's song is good too, but after a while, I'd want to switch to something harder-edged.
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented on this already! (Dolt of the day award to... me!) Always glad to cheer for another Bolton-hater, lol!
