Your two songs are each longer than the total of my four sides.

Four sides hell; they’re probably going to be longer than my entire draft.Your two songs are each longer than the total of my four sides.
Correct. @Val Rannous @El Floppo and @KarmaPolice can fill in their skipped picks whenever.@Long Ball Larry was on the clock at 10am, I think
very nice! reading this Rock book right now and the author discusses S&G extensively, didn't realize Simon went to Queens College, my daughter is enrolled for Speech Path for Grad School in the fall..2.23 The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkel (1970)
A top 5 song for me and it fits my theme perfectly.
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
I don’t remember if you announced your theme?2.23 The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkel (1970)

@Eephus, is it possible to track the themes, either in the first post or on the spreadsheet?

Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY, and the Lost Story of 1970
Love the idea, it’s one I considered so I’ll be excited to see how it would play out.After thinking about it, my original idea was going to churn out a pretty bad jukebox. Sure, I would have been entertained, but I don't think many others would if this was in a bar setting. SO - my new bar will have gin, but this is going to be a fictional bar will be next to a kick ### movie theater and will feature cocktails that are prominent in movies (I am sure White Russians will be popular), and the jukebox will be filled with a collection of movie soundtracks. I might throw a couple songs from scores in the draft, but the plan is to have songs so people can sing along, talk about movies, and have try to escape the world around us for a few hours. I don't think b-sides are really going to come into play now though.
So let's reboot my draft with some mandatory 80s cheese:
1.11: HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS - THE POWER OF LOVE (1985)
2.xx: KENNY LOGGINS - DANGER ZONE (1986)
Probably in a cheesier manner than yours would have. Lol.Love the idea, it’s one I considered so I’ll be excited to see how it would play out.
Fantastic, thank you.I added a sheet for themes. If you've posted a write-up of your theme/jukebox location, please repost it or add it to the sheet.
That's cool, it's a personal tune for me, and I love Fountains of Wayne as well so it's a double win for all of us!@mphtrilogy I don't know Fountains of Wayne that well, but I listened to your selections and I like the B-side better.
Incredible B side, nice move
I think this is acceptable from what I've gleaned from others posts, but I don't plan to post my theme for a few rounds. I don't want to unintentionally encourage sniper attacks by showing my hand too early. I've already prioritized one because of someone else's theme. A sleuth will be able to figure mine out, but I'm banking on most not doing that.I don’t remember if you announced your theme?

lol maybe but it’s also hard to do movies without some cheese. That’s just the nature of movie songs.Probably in a cheesier manner than yours would have. Lol.
Want to hit like because of the former - can't because of the latter.I was going to do a historical tour through sampling, but scrapped that when I saw some of the songs going. But in keeping with the sampling theme, I'll first pick the sampled and then the sampler.
First, a song from 1981 with a haunting chugga chugga guitar riff and desperate lyrics.
Round 2.xx - Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen (1981)
For the song that sampled it, a little twist on the earnestness of the riff and the lyrics for pure disco lasciviousness, two headlining females plus one regardless.
Chugga Chugga.
Round 3.01 - Destiny's Child - Bootylicious (2001)
Thanks! I considered making the B-side my "official" pick because I love that one, too.Incredible B side, nice move
I haven't posted mine yet, either.I think this is acceptable from what I've gleaned from others posts, but I don't plan to post my theme for a few rounds.

Never knew who did this song. Now I do. And it'll forever be a part of my library from this day forward.Sorry, on my phone so will add links later.
2.24 Green Onions - Booker T. & The M.G.s (1962)
I will add the B-side, Behave Yourself.
@rockaction
Hi friends...will have to sit this out.
Both those were on my list3.04: Rhythm Of The Falling Rain - The Cascades - 1962
One hit wonder theme - will also be going sequentially year-by-year (NO SKIPPING AROUND!!)
Beautiful song. Still relaxes me.
No Beatles yet, so this is where we were - I was 4.
ETA: I wish I had a story that goes along with this song, but I was 4. I only remember the uncomfortable jute area "rug" my mom had put in my bedroom over the linoleum floor and the pain and marks it would leave on my knees when playing with my matchbox cars. It also made it impossible to roll your cars ...gawd, I hated that ####ty excuse for a rug.
My mom bought me an album when I was 9 called At the Hop. It came with three albums that had songs from the 50s and 60s from various artists, and this song was probably my favorite from the albums.3.04: Rhythm Of The Falling Rain - The Cascades - 1962
