Dave and Milt, adventurers bold and keen, Stepped into a time machine, a wondrous dream, Their destination set, the year was '82, With music as their guide, they found a place where seagulls flew. Heartlight by Neil Diamond, a song, they feared, would be a tragic and senseless assault on the ears. I Ran by A Flock Of Seagulls, it's musical insanity - and the dude's hair defied reason, taste, and yes, gravity. You Can Do Magic is America's song. But here's the thing: guess what, before long... the boys had to draw a line in the sand. It's only America's song 'cause that's the name of the band. Somebody's Baby by Jackson Browne is just so sweet, it's a song you might want to put on repeat. But you might want to try forget the flick... where a dude chooses a ball field to shag a young chick. Olivia Newton-John sang Heart Attack with grace, But the song - meh - it's just kinda taking up space. Cocker? I hardly know her. But Joe's voice enthralls... with a movie theme recalling Gere kicked in the balls. I Keep Forgettin', crooned Michael McDonald. His cool raspy voice into all ears he would tunnel. ... [Sorry but you try rhyming 'Mcdonald.'] Eye In The Sky, The Alan Parsons Project's dream, is as dynamic as cold toast, as thin as Kareem. Jack & Diane, in John Cougar's nostalgic fog, still holds up well. Pass the chili dog. Who Can It Be Now? Asked the Men At Work. A cool Aussie rock band. You were expecting Bjork?

In the charts of '71, artists in their prime, Let's journey back and recall that time. Rod Stewart and the Band so grand, John Denver with Fat City's hand.

The Undisputed Truth with smiling faces, Aretha Franklin's divine embraces. At the summit, Donny Osmond (?) stood tall, With music that echoed through the hall. On the charts, the song had legs.
