A ? for the music fans out there....

[nyrnyr1994]

I work as a p/t karaoke dj at a bar nearby, one of the things I also do inbetween singers to fill the gaps is I try to play a random assortment of music, especially songs that people haven't heard in a while to try to produce some kind of reaction (one hit wonders, etc.).

Now I've compiled a pretty decent collection up to this point, and I'd like to ask everyone for their input. Let's brainstorm those long forgotten songs...

Here's two I came across recently:
Genius of Love - Tom Tom Club
I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz

1. How about

Sugar Sugar by the Archies. An oldie moldie but still fun. Just a thought.

You never know, it might work. Someone sang the Flintstones theme song last night (didn't even know we had it)...

On The Dark Side - John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band
Strange But True - Times Two
Last Plane Out - Toy Matinee
I Wanna Be A Cowboy - Boys Don't Cry

9. And also what must be my favorite 80's song of all...

Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder

"Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh, no
I’ve got to keep on moving"
