I Guess I ♥ the 80's

Sorry for the delayed post today. I've been immersed in the return of the boss and importing every song imaginable into iTunes. This dude at work compiled a twenty-six disc set of every song ever to show up on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart from January 1980 - December 1989. We’re talking somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000+ songs over ten years, from Abba to ZZ Top and everything in between. Looking for the b-side song to Eddie Murphy’s single “Party All the Time”? He’s got it. And multiple songs by Don Johnson, Bruce Willis and the immortal Frank Stallone to boot. Al Jarreau’s theme to “Moonlighting”? Got it. “Word Up” by Cameo? Got it. “Valley Girl” by Frank AND Moon Unit Zappa? Got it. Chubby Checker and the Fat Boys doin’ “The Twist”? You know he got it. It’s sick. It really is. My temples are pounding, my palms are sweaty, I’m ignoring phone calls and deleting e-mails, and I can’t for the life of me seem to get “Alone” by Heart out of my head…because that’s the last song I imported. That’s right. I’m only on ‘H’. Ten discs down, insanity to go.

Till now, I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you. But now it chills me to the bone…how do I get you alooooooone? How do I get you alooooooone?

Damn you, Steve Jobs.
