Well I hope it's a few more YEARS before I hear that Wayne Newton song all weekend again. Other than that this was a pretty good show coming from someone who likes the later 80's shows better.

Did CKPE drop the show? I tuned in at its posted starting time (5:00 EST) and they were playing Nina Blackwood's Absolutely 80s show.

WGHN hasn't been working all day, so anybody else who hears the show through them is going to have to find another station.

Years is a song that I like very much in its #1 country original version by Barbara Mandrell, and can stand as little as you can in Mr. Las Vegas' version.

Nice to see they updated the comments on the extras but sorry to inform Larry that 5 Seconds Of Summer's remake of "What I like About You" besides sucking failed to be a bigger hit than the Romantics version (unless you were a teen girl that don't know it's even a remake). The 5 seconds version was bigger if you're comparing the Hot 100 in 1980 to the Mediabase/mainstream top 40/AT40 charts in 2015, which (in terms of pop radio airplay) could be considered a reasonable comparison. Michael Morales' 1989 remake was the biggest of them all, peaking at #28. The Romantics version was still the better of the two (haven't yet heard the 5 Seconds cover).

Flo.... lol- Truly one of the most annoying people on commercials ever! How Progressive thinks these commercials are boosting their sales is beyond me.. But hey, as long as it's a sponsor for online radio, I can deal with it I guess..lol Agree, here's my new response to one of their new favorite sponsors Q. "What do you do with spicy Johnsonville Brats" A. "Stuff one in Flo's mouth to shut her up, now that's Progressive" Speaking of those Johnsonville Brat ads, it dawned on me this morning after hearing them on this week's '70's show: shouldn't they be verboten on these Casey Kasem-hosted shows? I mean, I was led to believe that's why those annoying "Chop Swap" pork ads from two years back were dropped: because Casey was a staunch vegan. So why do these sausage ads get a pass? Is it because Casey is no longer here to make an objection?

During the later years of AT20/AT10 the American Egg Board was a sponsor. I think from time to time it did occur

Star just started 03/22/1986 star1079.com/the "weird" robotic woman's voice came back for the intro, sorry to report to you guys! thought I heard an overlap of Casey's voice .. with himself. Basically sounded like a bad edit during the spiel out of the recap. I'll have to re-listen to it again when the show is over

I'll have to re-listen to it again when the show is over I don't know about the "weird voice" but I like the quick editing that gets the show over in just over 3 hours. We also got to hear the rest of the "billionaire" story before the ABC song that began on the 03/01/1986 show.

yeah I don't really mind the lady's voice mimic'ing a robot.
(not like this is a big deal, just pointing this out) I listened back to the beginning and the original mix had Kasem talking over himself briefly. After the recap song Sara, Kasem says "...and that wraps up our recap of last week's top three". Then the next line starts over the end of the word "three" with "Coming up, this week's countdown..."

The Wayne Newton song is pump and dump material. The Tommy James tune reminds me a bit of "Goodbye Girl" by David Gates.
Everybody has their preferences, and I find mine lean toward the "79-"81 period. These shows are gold to me.

The 3/22/80 show includes Casey telling of Billy Preston receiving co-label credit with the Beatles for playing keyboards on "Get Back". Now is good timing for that story, as presently Paul McCartney has a chart hit by being credited with instrumental, but not vocal, contribution to the Rihanna/Kanye West hit "FourFiveSeconds".

not sure if this was pointed out previously between the A 03/22/1980 and B 03/22/1986 shows this week, but "Cats in the Cradle" was featured as a LDD in both.

Years is a song that I like very much in its #1 country original version by Barbara Mandrell, and can stand as little as you can in Mr. Las Vegas' version. This is one of my all time favorite tunes! Not sure Babs could be considered the "original;" she reached the country charts only six weeks before Wayner appeared on the Hot 100. It would be three more weeks before it would hit #1 country. It might be a case which wasn't usual in those days of the same song recorded for different formats by different artists. Doing my research on Friday, I was surprised at how close together those two versions were released. Also noticed that Wayne did a cover of Kenny Rogers' "She Believes in Me" for the B-side of his previous single (A-side being the Bee Gees' "You Stepped Into My Life"). There certainly were a lot of covers of pop tunes hitting the country charts in the late '70s, often by fading veteran artists trying to rekindle their careers. As for the other way around, none come straight to mind but I'm sure it happened.
