Added a favorite "Jump" song but removed it as, spoiler, we'll hear it from Tahlvin in due time.

Want to tailor a song for the youth? Make it about something they can relate to.
Both these Jump songs were huge, because we could relate, we like to jump!

Ah yes... Jack Be Nimble. My favorite classic pop song about jumping.

I'm partial to Hey Diddle Diddle, that cow's jump more impressive than jumping over a tiny flame.

Curse you, Pete! When will I learn that I can't compete with you on anything music related?

Jesus, remember how big Laura Branigan was? I forgot this song even existed.

BANGER!

Prince can do no wrong.

I agree. He was truly one of the genius musicians of our lifetime.

Daryl Hall was very pretty. John Oats was another person in the group.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about either of them. Bless you.

This one is special for me. When our oldest was born, to get them to sleep we would sometimes take them for a drive in the car. We'd play the 80's radio station and this song seemed to be on regular rotation, so this is one of the songs I remember singer to them to get them to sleep.

Are we still in 84?

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Fri Feb 19, 2021 7:17 am

Yes, still on 1984. The following is #24. Trying to decide if I'm going to do the top 30 or 35 for that year, since there are some good ones.

Oh dang! I got confused and thought this was Rosanna. But that's Toto. Rosanna rocks. Joanna... meh.

Stevie Wonder. Y'all. Damn.

The best. I wonder if he preferred rotary or push-button?

Stevie Wonder's a musical genius!

Yes. That's what he was arrested for a year ago... He banged her with a chair. A dispute over some money he hadn't paid her. Wow.

Still like the song.

Love hearing Prince deep in the mix but still completely noticable. 10/10

And who could forget this gem, coming in at #31 for 1984:

I feel like this is a cheesy song, but I can't tell, because my nostalgia loves it so much.

Classic pop/r&b/country triple crossover. A rarity, like early Elvis or Old Town Road 10/10

Is it a Journey song? Then it's a cheesy song. Still love 'em!

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Sat Feb 20, 2021 5:14 pm

Darn, I missed one. That’s what I get for doing this on my iPad instead of my laptop. Elton was #33, Madonna was #35, and this should have been in between.
