Man. I fell asleep last night at 8 and slept clear through until 7 this morning. Too much sleep!

At this time I would be visiting my Uncle Rick. He was stationed in Texas! My cousin Jeremy would have been an infant. Would be halfway through the trip to California that turned into the trip to HE*L! I swear they based National Lampoons Vacation on that trip! (except we didn't kill any animals or have anyone die). Heard these songs on the radio a lot, as we were frequently changing stations.

10) One of the few by him that I like.
9) Eh. It's ok.
8) Kind of played out.
7) Love this one! This is the one I could always annoy my best friend with.
6) This is a great one too!
5) Eh. Not a huge fan of Andy's.
4) Love Donna Summer. This is a good song - better than the movie it (and she) was in (
3) Eh. I really didn't care for this movie. I think I'm the only one on the planet (aside from my husband).
2) I prefer "Fee Times A Mady" by Buhweet!
1) Great song! My parents are huge Stones fans, and I used to love to amuse them (I was such a ham!). Used to love to do the line "What's the matter man? We're gonna come around at 12 with some Puerto Rican girls who's just dyyyyyyyyyyin' to meet you. We gonna bring a case of wine. We're gonna laugh and fool around just like we UUUUSSSEEDD to!"

Oh my - that does sound like an eventful trip!

I've never seen Thank God It's Friday, although I've always been curious about it. There are some excellent songs on the soundtrack, though.

LOL about the line in 'Miss You'! ;D That sounds like something I would have done when I was younger!

Hey Dawn! Not a bad chart. I like 9 of the 10 songs. The one exception is Last Dance. I've always felt that Donna Summer epitomized all that was wrong with Disco.

My fave of the ten is Baker Street. As we have often said, its the sax!

Love Will Find A Way. - I like this one quite a bit.

Despite the fact that I've heard some Broadway purists say that the addition of this song signified all that was wrong with the movie version of a great Broadway musical, I really like it.

Use Ta Be My Girl - Like the Ojays. This is one of their best.

Still The Same, Shadow Dancing, Three Times A Lady, Hot Blooded, and Miss You -- I like them all, but they are not the best by any of their respective artists.

Hey H2! I thought this chart was pretty good too!

I've heard that too about 'Grease', and in a way I can see their point, as it's definitely not very 50's-styled to fit in with the setting of the storyline. Still, it's a terrific song - great vocals from Frankie.

'Love Will Find a Way' is a really good song from Pablo Cruise. One of these days, I'd like to get their 20th Century Masters greatest hits CD.
