Running with trails
Quote from zoom-zoom on 8/1/2008 at 12:38 AM:
How sad is it that I have never seen it...?


Two hours of your life better spent running with the soundtrack than watching the movie.

Only one album for eternity - Jimmy Buffet - Songs You Know by Heart;

Theres food, drink, pirates, more drinks, sex, even more drinks and other stuff to keep the imagination active on a deserted island.

Jane's Addiction - Nothings Shocking


I can't believe I got to page 7 before anyone mentioned this.

Paradise is arguably the greatest Karaoke song ever. At least for a duo. Especially if you've got the Phil Rizzuto bit memorized. And can find a partner to make out with you while you sing it.


I have been trying to get BF to do this with me for like a year now. He refuses, despite the fact that he has been known to karaoke "Bat out of Hell" himself.

Interesting name search. I generally go with "THE GREAT". Back to the thread.
Run until the trail runs out
2009 TARGET PILATES 5 TIMES A WEEK
2009 RUN MIN. 4 TIMES A WEEK
2009 TARGET 40/40
Saturnalicius princeps
+1 on Buffett / Songs you Know By Heart (or maybe Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Saturdays - wait - "Meet Me In Margaritaville"!)

and +1 on Purple Rain, too.

Allso -
Rush / Moving Pictures (Red Barchetta gets about 10 repeats every time I play it)

And I can't believe I didn't see anyone mention either of these:
Bob Seger (Live Bullet)
Styx (Grand Illusion)
- although "Kilroy was Here" is a close 2nd for me - another of those "guilty pleasures" we all seem to be admitting to).


And I too wore out my copies of the following
- Huey Lewis (Sports),
- The Commitments Soundtrack (what ever happened to that guy who did "Take Me To The River"? - better than the original!!)
- Duran Duran (the one with Maneater and Hungry Like The Wolf)
- Bruce Hornsby And The Range - self-titled


Am I also correct that no one metioned Elvis?

MTA because I can't tell the difference in the jukebox in my mind between Hall & Oates and Duran Duran - must be the video they did that confused me Blush

Duran Duran (the one with Maneater and Hungry Like The Wolf)


Well, Hungry Like the Wolf appeared on the album Rio.

Maneater? That's Hall and Oates. Unless it is an identically named but rather obscure DD song from an album other than Rio.
With realistic Pants-on-Fire action!

I must now start another thread along these lines. It was going to be "Worst Album Ever", but that would be too broad a category so it will be "Worst Album you ever bought".
No, I don't want the damned combo special. Now quit asking me that.

Well, it's Fast Times. ... Once I learned more about Cameron C, I realized that this couldn't be true. I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure if the joke is supposed to be that Rat simply played the wrong album (and they clipped the joke), or if it is more of an in-joke on the movie's audience.


That movie had the most future stars of any I can remember.

Yes, "Hungry like the Wolf" was on Rio and the greatest hits....Maneater is not a DD song, it is Hall & Oates.

Elvis was a singles artist, not an album artist. Elvis never released anything that could be considered a truly classic album, in my opinion (unless you count compilations).
20th Century: 800m: 2:04 |1600m: 4:37 |3200m: 10:06 |5k: 16:23 |10k: 35:38 |15k: 54:20

I nominate this for RAPOW (Running Ahead Post of the Week).
