The History Of Pop Part 4 aka Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

So on Now 3 Cyndi Lauper came through a very strong line-up to win it. NOW 4, firmly in mid-late '84, has more songs than before (meaning an even HUGER poll), but to my eyes fewer clear contenders, but there are several intriguing love-it-or-hate-it options too and as every yr forthright views are welcome in the comments box, as are requests for YSIs, real actual YSIs and so on.

This one had the pig on the cover, hurrah.

discovered since posters for their greatest hits have appeared everywhere overnight: eurythmics have the best songs titles EVER.

"i saved the world today" "i need a man" "i've got a life" "sexcrime 1984" = aren't you intrigued?

weird.

"I;ve Got A Life" methinks thou dost protest too much DAVE STEWART.

To my great sadness "Beethoven" never appeared on a Now album and I wonder if it's even on their g Hits.

it's a "i need a man" that makes me laugh. have some SUBTLETY, love.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Grace Jones had a song called that, too. Though I interpret that more as "I need a man to MAIM FOR LIFE"

love has placed a chill on my heart = so ponderous! placed you say? well that doesnt sound so bad? love has thrust, love has dropped from a great height, yeah...but placed? quit whining!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Oh I think placed is in many ways worse! It is cold and slow and deliberate, like sadistic, pre-meditated TORTURE, rather than heat-of-moment passion which blows over in a week.

it sounds like love has been careless though! "where did i place that chill?"

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

that would be misplaced surely?

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

pedant! :P

[steviespitfire.livejournal.com]

or is that...The Point?

'Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)' is missing from the new Rivvies hits comp annoyingly.

RIVVIES!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Time for a YSI methinks. And an appearance on NOW ZERO.
