Hello, sailor
So I am in the record store, as I am from time to time, and I see this:
Yes, it's a "Greatest Hits" collection for eighties one hit wonder band Ready For The World. So, that's "Oh Sheila" and... Well, I'm coming up blank.
Yes, I still call the place where you buy CDs a "record store". I'm basically 85 years old.

Check out some of other the Millennium Masters CDs. I like the Scorpions, but they really shouldn't have one either, nor should the Jets, Glenn Frey, Swing Out Sister or Andy Gibb.
Off topic, you're obviously upset by the Scrushy verdict. Why not blog the recent shark and bear attacks? Heck we even have a snakehead rumor out of Washington DC waters. I'll send a link once it gets confirmed.

Doing a search for "Millennium Masters" comes up with some acts I've never even heard of. "Switch"? "Donnie Iris"? Not to mention collections for the Ohio Players and the Mary Jane Girls, two of the definitive one hit wonders.

"I'm basically 85 years old"
Yeah, but inside you're not a day over 70.

It's OK, Mac. I'm so old, I can't even remember what "Oh, Sheila" sounded like. I try and all I get is Steve Perry's "Oh, Sherry". It's just so sad.
