(Grrrrrr) Shriekback- Faded Flowers Good band. Lovely song. What number are we up to? 41. “There’s too many of us, there’s too many of us, there’s too many of us, there’s too many of us, there’s too many of us…” 1. “Five pound blocks of cheese. Bags of groceries. Social Security has run out for you and me.” 2. “Now it’s 1984 know know at you’re front door. It’s the seude/denim secret poice. They’ve come for your uncool niece.” (All frm the same '80 genre, heretofor underrepresnted in this thread.) ---

The answer to Biggirl’s (above) is “Fight the Power” by the Isley Brothers. That’s an 80’s song? ---

Well, _I_ listened to it in the '80’s. It is sooo not '80s. I just looked it up and it’s from _The Heat is On_ from 1975. Ooops! No wonder it took a while to guess. ---
