The Very Best of the Coasters poll

Surprised "Hog" didn't get any love in this - - it's been in regular rotation at the local monthly retro singles dance party and I sort of started thinking of it as a universally beloved classic. I love it anytime the Coasters (or any old rock act, really) start name-checking junk food.

The first line of the Coasters' Yakety Yak is "Take out the papers and the trash." Was there curbside recycling in the 50s?

I bought some calamine lotion today for the first time ever to treat a small insect bite on my leg. So I of course immediately thought of "It's gonna take an ocean..." I don't even particularly like that song. But that's how deeply the line is embedded in my mind.

it's all about "down in mexico" for me

though i will say hackamore brick's take on "searchin'" is mighty fine
