For example, Arthur’s Theme hit number one on the Hot 100 in October if 1981. It may or may not have made a Tim countdown. I would not know. But that’s Exhibit A. That song is pure putrid.

Well next time you get caught between the moon and New York City, you can just mosey on over to hipsterguys.com for advice on what to do bud, because you'll get no such help here anymore.  Not with that kind of attitude.

Is that the best that you can do?

pretty sure it clocked in at #17 best New Wave tune from 81.

Hobson: Normally, one would have to go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of her stature.

 Susan Johnson: A real woman could stop you from drinking.

Arthur Bach: It'd have to be a real big woman.”

I fell in love with pin-ups of Debbie Harry on my ceiling. Close enough. Song still sucks.

Nice. I laughed. Didn’t SNL spoof this movie somehow? Wasn’t the movie a huge hit? With Liza?  
 

She was great in Cabaret, I guess.

I fell in love with your ceiling 

I hugged the floor (and the toilet) tons as a young adult.

Debbie

Debbie

[rockaction]

I LUV U 1979 DEBBIE. YOU TOO 1965 ANNA. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Like that image on a shirt or like the outfit Debbie has on?

If Tim counts down the top 100 of 1971 and manages to miss Bill Withers, I’ma #### myself.

Narrator: it did not.

Narrator: if I recall correctly, “Ain’t No Sunshine” finished in the top 5 of 1971.

It's a good song with a lovely chorus. The ultra MOR production of Christopher Cross' hit did it no favors but this live version by songwriter Peter Allen from the Muscular Dystophy telethon is crazy but it's true.

Doin' it for the kids

 

[Ilov80s]

Doin' it for the kids

I immediately shared that with a few friends. I can't believe I have never seen that. What other secrets do you know?

 

[timschochet]

I actually like quite a bit of yacht rock.

Weird, I wonder if Rock knew that.

This has all caused me to reconsider.

He already did '71. Now he's doing '70, which will have no Withers because his first material didn't come out until '71.

I'm not sure what that has to do with this generation being stupid or not. Both generations could be stupid.

OH HOT DAMN MY BAD. THAT'S CRAZY TALK TO EXPECT ME TO BE ACCURATE WHEN I'VE HAD EIGHT CUPS OF COFFEE. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Arthur:
Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take a bath.

Hobson:
I'll alert the media.

Arthur:
Do you want to run my bath for me?

Hobson:
It's what I live for.

Hobson:
Perhaps you would like me to wash your #### for you... you little #####.

Meh. It was implied that one thinks the other is stupid. Not a necessary inference, but an understood one. That which was sacrificed for clarity's sake winds up as a more compelling title because of the immediate reaction of "Nuh uh. No way could they not be!" (As stupid as we think.)

That's a fancy way of saying "clickbait." 

 

[Zegras11]

Arthur:  "Aww, you're just a hedge."

I use this as schtick every time I run into/bump something.

LOL. 

Nailed!

I can’t find it in me to make any negative comment about a charity telethon. Besides, I liked his socks.

Bill Withers is so great I may just have to include him anyhow.

I think all the charitable donations have been made. We can joke about it now.

I'm not much of a reality TV guy but I'd probably watch a show about Allen's marriage to Liza Minelli

It may have hit #1 but finished at #64 among the best ranked singles of the year per Billboard, so there were a lot of songs most people in 1981 liked better. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1981

It was Christopher Cross's first release of 1981 following two huge 1980 hits (Ride The Wind and Sailing) and winning a boatload of Grammy's, so his past popularity and momentum was probably most responsible for its success.

I as hoping you had a video of them...

 

[rockaction]

Per squistion’s link, Bill Withers had the number eighteen song overall in 1981, so that is further proof that thread synergy exists.

I’ve done 1981 already and my list looks very different from that one. 81 was a great year for music but you wouldn’t know it by following Billboard.
