I hope to finish up some lengthy movie-related content later tonight.

- He was an Oklahoma Sooners fan to whom I did my best Lou Gossett imitation and gave him the "Steers and Queers" speech. 5 hours ago
- #1 "Up Where We Belong," Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes (1) -- I actually had occasion to quote "Officer & Gentleman" at sports bar at weekend 5 hours ago
- #2 "Truly," Lionel Richie (10) -- like with "Muscles," the comparison with "Endless Love" makes this overwrought soaper come off even worse 6 hours ago
- #3 "Heart Attack," Olivia Newton-John (3) -- a quintessential 80s classic ... Olivia at the peak(?) of her Heavy Breathing Slut period 6 hours ago
- #4 "Gloria," Laura Branigan (9) -- too bad Branigan had no voice because she actually had the right singing idea for a belter like this one 6 hours ago
- (That's not a good thing, BTW) 6 hours ago
- #5 "Heartlight," Neil Diamond (7) -- even when it's not stuff like "I Am, I Said," Diamond is the singing equivalent of Ciceronic rhetoric 6 hours ago
- I don't care for "Endless Love" (the long-distance dedication), but hearing it so soon after "Muscles" sure makes it sound good now 6 hours ago
- @AndrewDignan the Saints don't play the Steelers this year 6 hours ago
- #6 "Who Can It Be Now," Men at Work (2) -- Not exactly *one*-hit wonders but man did they ever burn bright and short 6 hours ago
- #7 "Jack and Diane," John Cougar (5) -- man, the Top 10 is striking out in terms of songs I like(d) ... too self-consciously "common man" 6 hours ago
- #8 "You Can Do Magic," America (8) -- I think I said last time that their early 70s hits have the courage to actually B mellow Adult Contemp 6 hours ago
- #9 "I Keep Forgettin," Michael McDonald (4) -- I prefer early Doobie Brothers too 6 hours ago
- #10 "Muscles," Diana Ross (14) --written by Michael Jackson and an impossible listen (the video is beefcake version of heavy-metal slutfest) 6 hours ago
- #11 "Eye in the Sky," Alan Parsons Project -- I think this was on when I last live-tweeted -- love male falsettos andthis kinda arrangement 7 hours ago
- #12 "Maneater," Hall & Oates (36) -- but *this* hit I never much cared for, though I did like them in general 7 hours ago
- #13 "Mickey," Toni Basil (27) -- YES!!! One of era's defining hits -- a song so catchy that plenty see it as annoying but I loved from start 7 hours ago
- #14 "Stepping Out," Joe Jackson (24) -- Jackson was one of earliest artists to criticize videos, though the clip for this one was quite good 7 hours ago
