[NightTrain]

[joeybee12]

1. Dim All The Lights--Donna Summer

Shame on you for missing this one!

[NightTrain]

4. Next poll. Promise!

n/t

[shawmut]

2. Heatwave!

I can not believe England Dan & John Ford Coley are getting the most votes...


and Baker Street might have been another good choice. I think that was a number 2 song for many weeks in 1978.

3. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald...

or almost ant other Gordon Lightfoot.

[shawmut]

6. yeah Debby owned the entire second half of '77

week after week after week...

[Kolesar]

7. please puke responsibly

I think that was a little excessive

[shawmut]

9. I think each puke smilie represents

the amount of times you'd hear that song on the radio during a single day. :D

[Kolesar]

10. uh oh, I think it's contagious

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
....a breather....
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[NightTrain]

11. I was saving my pukes for the right record.

And boy, was this the right record!

[Kolesar]

8. that Rita Coolidge song was righteous

but I gotta vote for the Big Fitz.

[Gildor Inglorion]

12. Voted for the "Edmund Fitz" but "I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen..."

is the one that sticks in my mind, and I wish it wouldn't.

[shawmut]

13. one of the most commonly misheard lyrics of all time

"I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight."



everyone gets that line wrong and thinks it's "the linen"! :D

[NightTrain]

14. Kick before I go to bed

G'night, DU! :boring:

[LSdemocrat]

15. I voted for "Nobody Does It Better"

Must be the James Bond fan in me.

[amandabeech]

16. From Michigan originally

so I have to go with "Edmund Fitzgerald," but I am a Spinners fan because ususally I give them a 98 -- but you can dance to it!

Debby Boone: Billions of Bazooka Barfings

[Whitacre D_WI]

17. "The Rubberband Man" hands down.

And don't THAT speak volumes about the quality of the upper reaches of the pop charts in them days.
