Good 4
Okay 18
Bad 18
Whole lotta mediocrity this week.
Commented on most of these songs last year. Not the exact same chart, but damn close.
80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule
30. RUNNING UP THAT HILL - KATE BUSH
Interesting tidbit about this song: Kate originally named the song "Deal With God" but the label insisted she change it:
"You see, for me it is still called 'Deal With God', that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn’t play it, France wouldn’t play it, and Australia wouldn’t play it! Ireland wouldn’t play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title."
9. PARTY ALL THE TIME - EDDIE MURPHY
This peaked at #2?? It's kinda fun and I don't mind it once in a blue moon.... but #2?!?!
6. LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - THE THOMPSON TWINS
Shocked this got so high. I like it, but didn't think it was a smash hit.
#88 Twisted Sister "Leader Of The Pack"
I still haven't forgiven them for this atrocity.
#97 Cheech & Chong "Born In East LA"
Classic!
Alright, then who's President of the United States?
Oh, that's easy, man. That guy that used to be on Death Valley Days, John Wayne
#99 Motley Crue "Home Sweet Home"
I'm shocked this didn't touch the top 40! A peak of 89?
Will never reach the top 40
