My favorite 80's hit of paranoia is "Somebody's Watching Me." If that doesn't get a mention in the Number 2's, that is a terrible mistake.

I love any song that builds the universe of the lyrics with the music itself, so the part where he says "Who that knocking at my door?" and then the beat sounds like someone knocking rules so much. See also: any song that stops when the singer says "stop."

The way this is written implies "I Feel Love" is a real clunker. That can't be right.

Amarillo By Morning is so perfect it has made me cry in a Taco Bell on multiple occasions.

The Bonus Beats avoided the 2020 trap of posting the completely superfluous scene from the Netflix phenomenon Tiger King https://youtu.be/hqf3u18kQaA

Yeah, I'm a millennial too. The closest thing I have to growing up with this song was a Chips Ahoy! commercial. https://youtu.be/BYjR6yuAMLc

I love ending the week on a 10, and few songs deserve it as much as this one.

I guess the "Pants on the Ground" guy was too big to get invited.

Crazy that Venus has hit #1 as the original song, a sample, and eventually a cover. That's quite the run.

Joe Meek produced the #1 song Telstar. Jim Gordon was on many hits as a session drummer in the 60's. Suge Knight produced the Chronic. Those were before they murdered people though.

In "Driving My Life Away", Rabbit says the rain blinds him while he drives. I just want some consistence on Rabbit's stance on rainy nights.

Guy Mitchell's "Heartaches by the Number" beats this one by quite a few years.

If it is Snow's Informer, that's brutal. If that wasn't bad enough, it is also the song that blocked Nuthin But A G'Thang from hitting #1.

Their biggest hit is Rikki Don't Lose that Number at #4. They only had two other top 10 hits Hey Nineteen and Do It Again.

This kind of reminds me of Asher Roth's "I Love College," which is never a good sign.

RIP to yet another legend. John Prine's music will always be a part of my life. It is a shame that he no longer will. I'm aware that's the way that the world goes 'round, but I am still an unhappy enchilada.

I knew it would come down to this, but Everything is Beautiful is still the worst Number One of the 70's.

What do you mean few of us remember "Rumble" today? That is a jam for the ages.

John Oates maybe a jerk, but in his defense Peter Cetera is a fucking loser.

No need to single out the Christopher Cross, "I'm on a Boat" is much better than every other song ever recorded.

For a fun distraction, here's a scene from the great sitcom Last Man on Earth, a show about a virus that launches in 2020 killing everybody on earth, where Kristin Wiig kidnaps Will Forte and tortures him with Christopher Cross https://youtu.be/XF7ZH5ubQiE

“My family was my first love, and then music. Music has always been my first love as far as something other than my family.” Good thing, he’s gotten into a field that requires a way with words

One branch of anti-vaxxers believe the government plants chips inside all of the vaccines to monitor us at all times, as if the government does not already have other means of doing that.

A song called Corona with lines like "the people will survive in their environment...The injustice of our greed the practice we inherit the dirt, scarcity and the emptiness of our South" seems a little too on the nose now.

Probably more than any other song, I never want to Bohemian Rhapsody ever again. It's good enough, but cultural saturation has killed it for me.

In a lot of ways, "Please Don't Go" can be seen as the band singing it to 70's and disco in general, hoping to recapture their once dominance.
