6440. Don't Call Me N!gger, Whitey (Don't Call Me Whitey, N!gger)-Sly & the Family Stone 1969
I don't think I've ever heard this one.

6439. Possession Obsession-Hall & Oates 1985
I agree - this isn't quite on a par with their earlier material. It's still pretty good, though.

6438. C-I-T-Y-John Cafferty & Beaver Brown Band 1985
It's been ages since I've heard this, but I saw that it's on VH-1 Classic's playlist for today - I need to get reacquainted with it.

6437. Leave Me Alone-Michael Jackson 1988
Not one of Michael's best.

6436. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini-Brian Hyland 1960
It's a cute tune, but a little overplayed.

6435. I Just Can't Stop Loving You-Michael Jackson 1987
Again, not among his better songs.

6434. Point of No Return-Gene McDaniels 1962
I don't think I'm familiar with this one.

6433. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack 1972
Beautiful arrangement and vocals by Roberta.

6432. The Way You Make Me Feel-Michael Jackson 1987/88
Not one of the better cuts from the Bad album.

6431. Butterfly-Mariah Carey 1997
I like some of Mariah's early hits, but she lost me by this point.

6430. You Might Think-Cars 1984
Good, but they did many better songs.

6429. Notorious-Duran Duran 1986/87
Oh, I love this! One of my favorite later Duran songs.

6428. Think-Aretha Franklin 1968
A good one from Aretha - love the opening piano work.

6427. I Am...I Said-Neil Diamond 1971
This has really grown on me recently. Nicely done.

6426. Man in the Mirror-Michael Jackson 1988
Eh - again, not his best work.

6425. Karma Chameleon-Culture Club 1983/84
I like this, but it's one of my lesser faves by them.

6424. Policy of Truth-Depeche Mode 1990
I don't think I know this one.

6423. Stop Making Sense-Talking Heads 1984
I know I've heard this, but can't quite place it.

6422. Demolition Man-Police 1981
Not great, I agree. And you're right, that Grace Jones version is horrible!

6421. Smooth Criminal-Michael Jackson 1988/89
I think this is one of the better songs from Bad. Still not as good as the Off the Wall/Thriller era material, though.

VH-1 Classic has a playlist?? I tried to look one up and couldn't find it! You'll have to show me where!

[glow=red,2,300]6440. Don't Call Me N!gger, Whitey (Don't Call Me Whitey, N!gger)-Sly & the Family Stone 1969
I haven't heard this song yet.

6439. Possession Obsession-Hall & Oates 1985
I heard this once, and I think I even saw the video on VH1 classic once. It is okay I guess. Not one of my favorites.

6438. C-I-T-Y-John Cafferty & Beaver Brown Band 1985
Haven't heard this one.

6437. Leave Me Alone-Michael Jackson 1988
I don't really care for this song. I just watched a thing about him on CourtTV a few hours ago too.

6436. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini-Brian Hyland 1960
This song is evil.

6435. I Just Can't Stop Loving You-Michael Jackson 1987
I don't really like this one either.

6434. Point of No Return-Gene McDaniels 1962
I haven't heard this one yet.

6433. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack 1972
This is the only Roberta Flack song I like.l

6432. The Way You Make Me Feel-Michael Jackson 1987/88
Don't like this one much either.

6431. Butterfly-Mariah Carey 1997
Nor this one...I'm really not big on Maria Carey.

6430. You Might Think-Cars 1984
This was all right, I guess.

6429. Notorious-Duran Duran 1986/87
Not one of my favorites, but I can stand it.

6428. Think-Aretha Franklin 1968
Not one of my favorites...I like "Respect" a lot better. She just isn't my style.

6427. I Am...I Said-Neil Diamond 1971
The chair song. I really don't mind this song.

6426. Man in the Mirror-Michael Jackson 1988
I don't really like that song.

6425. Karma Chameleon-Culture Club 1983/84
A very headache-inducing song.

Haven't heard this one.

6423. Stop Making Sense-Talking Heads 1984
I haven't heard this one.

This song is okay.

6421. Smooth Criminal-Michael Jackson 1988/89
I don't really care for this song very much.

Lots of stuff on here today that I don't know, so this shouldn't take too long. ;D

Don't Call Me N!gger, Whitey (etc)--Don't think I ever heard this before. I'm sure I'd remember it. lol!

Possession Obsession--I guess I wasn't following Hall and Oates too closely at this point, cuz I can't place this song.

C-I-T-Y--I might know it if I heard it. I always liked John Cafferty.

Leave Me Alone--No thanks.

Itsy Bitsy...Bikini--Ok song. I don't mind hearing it occasionally.

I Just Can't Stop Loving You--I'll pass.

Point of No Return--I guess I don't know Gene McDaniels.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face--Absolute torture having to sit through this.

The Way You Make Me Feel--This one I love. One of my fave Michael Jackson tunes.

Butterfly--Doesn't sound familiar, but I don't like Mariah Scary much.

You Might Think--Sick of the song, sick of the video.

Notorious--This isn't a bad song, considering it's Duran Duran.

Think--I like it. It's a good "sing-along" song.

I Am I Said--Nah.

Man in the Mirror--S'allright. Not a fave of mine, but listenable.

Karma Chameleon--Like it a lot. Catchy tune.

Policy of Truth--Never heard of it.

Stop Making Sense--Don't know it.

Demolition Man--Oddly enough, I remember the Grace Jones cover, but not this version.

Smooth Criminal--Another favorite of mine from Michael Jackson. Also liked Alien Ant Farm's cover.

That Grace Jones cover got a good amount of MTV play.

6440. How so, because they only use it in a negative light now?

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. I really should have said that 30 years can change the importance and impact of a song. There's no way in this day and age that the message of this song would be presented this way.

SAT-RIP said:

Hate to tell ya, I think there will be a few more Neil Diamond's coming up!

Oh the agony!!

[djdave]

20 a day's fine!

6440. Love this.
6439. Weird song title, pretty decent tune.
6438. TO EACH THEIR OWN! This was SUPER!!! I love this even more than "Tough"! Man, there better be some Cafferty CD's floating around on half.com...
6437. YAY! You listed one from MJ! (What I call him anyway) This was a WEIRD video! And I finally owned the song when I converted "Bad" from vinyl to CD.
6436. A few listens every now and then is great. But MUCH better than Sheb's "Purple people eater".
6435. People like me were waiting for YEARS for a new album to come out. And for many, it was worth the wait. I woulda been SHOCKED if this didn't hit #1--I'm surprised it had to wait 2 weeks at #2 behind "La Bamba" before it hit the top. But then it dropped down fast--way too fast.
6434. A tie between this and "Tower of Strength" as my top fave! This has been a SOLID fave of mine for 20 years! Superior enunciation!
6433. I agree, Sat. But many people liked Roberta's voice (can't knock that), and the 3 year old song became popular from its usage in Clint Eastwood's film "Play Misty for me". This song just has no emotion.
6432. One of my 2 top songs from "Bad". This still slams!
6431. Do I hear an apology?
6430. WAY cool tune, super video.
6429. Quite great! A classmate of mine (male, I might add) begged for me to have this hit #1 on my list. Not quite.
6428. I LOVE that piano intro! Rock on, Queen of Soul!
6427. Not one of my faves from Neil.
6426. EASILY my least fave of the 7 hits from "Bad". I...just don't like it as much.
6425. Simply said...I just may be the biggest fan of the song on the Click. This was ONE FUN tune.
6424. After Violator, there was no turning back for the Mode with me whatsoever. Everything from 1990 on was SUPER.
6423. Pretty good.
6422. I can take it.
6421. One of the better tunes from the album Bad (Smooth Criminal was to be the title of the album). Hope you didn't forget "Another part of Me"...

[Railyn]

6440. Don't Call Me N!gger, Whitey (Don't Call Me Whitey, N!gger)-Sly & the Family Stone 1969
I don't know this one - definately not.

6439. Possession Obsession-Hall & Oates 1985
I love Hall and Oates.

6438. C-I-T-Y-John Cafferty & Beaver Brown Band 1985
These guys were at the fair a long time ago. I liked Eddie And The Cruisers (have the cd) and I liked Tough All Over, but this one is eh.

6437. Leave Me Alone-Michael Jackson 1988
Sure, Jacko, no problem.

6436. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini-Brian Hyland 1960
Eh.

6435. I Just Can't Stop Loving You-Michael Jackson 1987
Well I did, Jacko, a long time ago - specifically after the Off The Wall album.

6434. Point of No Return-Gene McDaniels 1962
Not familiar.

6433. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack 1972
Pass.

6432. The Way You Make Me Feel-Michael Jackson 1987/88
Jacko makes me feel icky.

6431. Butterfly-Mariah Carey 1997
YUK!

6430. You Might Think-Cars 1984
I love this song. Heartbeat City was great.

6429. Notorious-Duran Duran 1986/87
Love Duran, but not this one.

6428. Think-Aretha Franklin 1968
Love this one - in what is probably my all-time favorite movie. "There's two honkeys out there dressed like hassidic diamond merchants. The short one wants four whole fried chickens and a coke. The tall one wants dry white toast".

6427. I Am...I Said-Neil Diamond 1971
This song is a bit to weird for my taste - who cares about the chair? It can't talk back!

6426. Man in the Mirror-Michael Jackson 1988
This was one of the Rock Spots (see "Two Hearts")

6425. Karma Chameleon-Culture Club 1983/84
This one was a tad annoying - I love the VH1 Kitties, though!

6424. Policy of Truth-Depeche Mode 1990
This song rocks!

6423. Stop Making Sense-Talking Heads 1984
The Talking Heads - WOOOOOHOOO! I see that Pete informed you that it's "Girlfriend Is Better"

6422. Demolition Man-Police 1981
I only know the Grace Jones one - it is scary. From B&B "Is that Manute Bol?"

6421. Smooth Criminal-Michael Jackson 1988/89
This song sucks! I don't care if Annie is Ok. If she's not answering you, then she's probably not ok.

[55dodger]

Don't Call Me ..... - Don't know this song by Sly.

Possession Obsession - No where near as good as their early stuff.

Policy of Truth - ?

Demolition Man - Did a lot better songs than this.

6440. Don't Call Me N!gger, Whitey (Don't Call Me Whitey, N!gger)-Sly & the Family Stone 1969
NHI, but I think I get what he was saying: Racism comes from and needs to be stopped in all directions. And you are right, people would not get it in today PC world.

NHI

6435. I Just Can't Stop Loving You-Michael Jackson 1987
NHI

6434. Point of No Return-Gene McDaniels 1962
Vaguely remember it

6433. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack 1972
What I remember about this song is that SO MANY couples wanted this played at their weddings! And since my mom was the church organist, we heard it quite a few times as she was practicing. (The thing is, I never even liked it on the radio!)

6432. The Way You Make Me Feel-Michael Jackson 1987/88
Is this the song that has the video in which he follows that girl around? If so, I don’t care for it

6431. Butterfly-Mariah Carey 1997
Well, I think I’ve heard it—but I don’t remember how it goes at allE
6430. You Might Think-Cars 1984
Ah! An 80s song I like!

6429. Notorious-Duran Duran 1986/87

I still like this song (And this segment in “The Blues BrothersEmovie)


6427. I Am...I Said-Neil Diamond 1971
I can kind of sing along with this oneE

6426. Man in the Mirror-Michael Jackson 1988
Heard of it--NHI

6425. Karma Chameleon-Culture Club 1983/84
Sadly, I DO know this 80s songE

6424. Policy of Truth-Depeche Mode 1990
The closest I’ve come to hearing this song was having their CD sent to me accidentally by my old CD club. (I sent it back for the one I had really wanted)


6423. Stop Making Sense-Talking Heads 1984
NHI

6422. Demolition Man-Police 1981
NHI.
