Song of the Day

Oh yeah, here's a classic. When you say eighties, this is on your short list of tunes, both essential and toe tapping. Let that cashbah rock.

1988 seems a long ways back, sometimes. Then a song plays from that year, and dang if it's just like I stepped into another room. Usually, that song is something along the lines of "Kokomo." Or "Don't Worry, Be Happy." Musical time travel, baby.

They'll never get this one, the people who faithfully play our K-101.7 Song of The Day. they'll have to Shazam the heck out of it to win today's prize. It's a stumper! Only one guy will call. And he'll be wrong!

Oh yeah, it was that side of the eighties. The bizarre hair cuts and keyboard playing pretty boy bands were on the way out, Reagan and cocaine were king and the yuppie ruled all. Greed was good, and the word to follow was "conform." Huey Lewis wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? HERE IT GO!

Do you know what "soul" is? Would you like a demonstration? Something that'll define the word "soul" once and all for you? Of course you do. That's the thrust of today's K-101.7 Song Of The Day.

Yeah! All you hipsters and music heads can look down your ski slope snobby nose at Dave In The Cave for, out of all the tunes in the rock and roll era choosing THIS as today's song of the day selection. Oh yes, you go listen to your bed wetter music. We will all be over here DANCING.

What to do with a girl like Prince? Increasingly he lives in his own little purple world. A place where nobody can say no to him. A place where no light from Youtube will shine.

Yeah. We're jumping back to 1988 for this one. First year in radio for me, still yet to lose my "rookie" status, working the ye olde late night shift, spinning the hits of the day, of which today's tune was one occupying a slice of the rotation, sometimes three times an hour. In the catalog of the Halen's Van, it still remains an anomaly. Is that...IS THAT A COUNTRY SONG?

Oh detestably slow computer from 2003 that I have to write these posts on, you who have already crashed once because this is the second time I'm writing this intro, are you ready for another week of putting out the best music ever in the history of...ever? What's that? You wanna have some Stevie Wonder playing across your digital innards? I think we can do that. If you play nice.

She hates planes like you would not believe. She wore a radar dish hat to the 2008 inauguration. She lost a bunch a weight and now kinda looks like a Sharpai. None of that matters now. She's here in prime form, ready to get you dancing...and thinking!
