I can't believe I used to think this music was cool...

I've been culling my collection of audiotapes and listening to stuff I haven't heard in years to decide which tapes to buy on CD and which to jettison forever...

This morning I played Catching the Sun, a 1980 release by Spyro Gyra. Back in the day (and yes, I got this when it was new), I thought this was fresh, alternative fusion-jazz

Oh, I'd say the two most embarassing album purchases of my youth are:
Rapping Duke (Da ha da ha... Anyone? Anyone remember Rapping Duke?)

And Laura Branigan. (Gloria!)

In my defense, I was 12, and it was the first time I was allowed to spend my allowance on music. I got better. :-D

Ah, but did he re-write that rap to tell the story of The Alamo for his 7th grade Texas History class? AND SEW JACKETS FOR BACKUP DANCERS? I think not.

Uh Santa Anna, Uh Santa Anna, Uh Santa Anna lemme rock you lemme rock you Santa Anna, that's all I wanna do, Santa Anna...

I'll just be crying in the corner.

*cough* I did the Santa Ana (<-- werps) refrain. The original was "Aretha Franklin."

Because I'm all kinds of lame.

Super Bowl Rap? Woman are you MAD?? I got better!

You can spam my journal anytime, Toots! :)

I don't think "The Super Bowl Shuffle" counts as a song; more of a publicity stunt, methinks.
