Song of the Week (3/8/99): Back on the Chain Gang
Artist: The Pretenders | Year Released: 1982
View the Lyrics
Obviously a fan-fave, since it was hand-picked by you guys. This also happens to be my boyfriend's favorite Pretenders tune (he applauded you by the way). Wonderful woos and ahs. And this song can be found on many albums as well. It originally appeared on Learning to Crawl the live acoustic version is found on The Isle of View and of course on their greatest hits, The Singles. If, however, you're more interested in the song than the band, the song also shows up on two different compilation CDs: Only Dance: 1980-1984 and Classic MTV: Class of 1983. Enjoy the song!

Song of the Week (3/1/99): The Deadbeat Club
Artist: The B-52's | Year Released: 1989
View the Lyrics
Cosmic Thing was one of the first albums I've ever gotten [before this I recorded songs off the radio], and recently I've updated my B-52's collection by buying the CD of this album. Still my favorite B-52's album, this happens to be my favorite song as well. Enough about me! If you liked this song, perhaps the best buy would be Time Capsule, their greatest hits. However, Cosmic Thing is, as I've mentioned only so many times, a great album as well. Visit their official website at www.theb52s.com.

Song of the Week (2/22/99): Goonies R Good Enough
Artist: Cyndi Lauper | Year Released: 1985
View the Lyrics
Though I was virtually raised in the movie theaters, it wasn't until the Goonies that I became entranced with the medium. Much as I am embarassed to admit that nowadays, I still love the theme song if not the movie. Unfortunately, the soundtrack and the single of this song is out of print. I stumbled upon it in a Used-CD store and suggest you try your luck. Or, it seems that Ebay often holds auctions on this particular album. Also check out www.cyndilauper.com for great information.
