holy fuck i missed volume 17 entirely, anyway this is obviously starbuck, they had a MARIMBA PLAYER!

The Starbuck song is some soft rock with serious hair on its chest. The singer even laughs mockingly at the listener.
Second the Slap Shot love, they overuse the Maxine Nightingale song to great effect. The liner notes call it disco, but it's never sounded like that to me. Same thing with Jigsaw's "Sky High."

Lotta great stuff here but it's easily "Dream Weaver" for me with its pop-psych cocktail.

i have heard precisely one other song by starbuck besides "moonlight feels right". i wrote a report on it last september. i'm not going to repost it here but i recommend that anybody who likes "moonlight feels right" listen to their song "a fool in line".

Toss-up between "Let Your Love Flow" and "Right Back Where We Started From"--lemme go listen to them on repeat about a dozen times to decide.
Love the Moog (?) basslines in "Dream Weaver."

haven't looked at this series of polls since like vol 7, but had to see where it had got off to. this is _definitely_ maxine nightingale, song is just straight fire.

This is a tough call, basically could vote for pretty much anything except for the two Garry Marshall theme songs and the Marmalade song I can’t recall hearing.

Guess I will be the only one voting the great Freddy Fender.
― that's not my post, Thursday, 27 September 2018 05:08 (five years ago) link
Actually pretty much anything goes except Afternoon Delight. I burned out on that one in real time. It’s a toxic ear worm.

if anyone votes for shannon i will meet them in the parking lot with a piece of 4x2my vote is for Elvin Bishop bcz I looooove Mickey Thomas’ vocals on this so much. but it could easily have gone a few diff ways.

Used well in Boogie Nights when Scotty J first sees Dirk.

Love this song immensely and it came close, but I've been on a large Elvin Bishop kick of late. Saw him perform twice recently, bought his most recent albums, went back to listen to old stuff...
Honorable mention award to Maxine Nightingale.

Which of these songs inspired the Casey Kasem Snuggles meltdown? He never actually says the song title in the bit, just called it one of “those uptempo goddamn numbers”.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 1 October 2018 06:32 (five years ago) link
I am also proudly voting for Freddy Fender.
― banjoboy, Monday, 1 October 2018 06:41 (five years ago) link
XP "Shannon", which is about Carl Wilson's dead dog. The uptempo song in question apparently was "Dare Me" by the Pointer Sisters.

christ, shannon, wrinkles, "my solution"... what is it with the beach boys and their fucking dead dogs?

i love that the internet has done extensive research into this question, which honestly never occurred to me to ask

This is obviously "Moonlight Feels Right".

Finally sitting down w/the Spotify list...for the longest time I thought that Marmalade song was one of the Frankie Valli/Four Seasons comeback hits.

Given that like 3% of my total music-related synapses are “Right back where we started from,” i’m preparing to be, welp.

"I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" (Parker McGee) – 2:37
2:37! And yet there's nine parts: verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus, chorus.
