Okay, so have you ever been somewhere, the club or the mall or the car or something, and from nowhere the last song you ever expected to hear comes on?

Like 2 weekends ago, someone played "Breaking Us In Two" by Joe Jackson on the internet jukebox. It's been 20-plus years since I've heard that one! I used to love "Steppin' Out" too.

And then last night, at the video bar they were playing all this euro-techno dance stuff and then out of nowhere they played "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison! It was groovy!

I have to say the last time this happened to me was when Carrie sang Heart's "Alone" on AI. I never expected to hear a Heart song on that show and for it to be so dead-on perfect.

I had one like this-- "Cactus" by Brazil 2001 turned up on MTV's UNDRESSED series. (It's an instrumental "spaghetti-western" surf-guitar song.)

Well, there was that time I heard a Muzak version of the Velvet Underground's "Heroin". Wasn't expecting that.

was at a club listening to trance/house when there was something familiar happening with the beats. Suddenly realised the dj was playing sounded like the notes from 'Close Encounters', but this resolved into the Oompah-loompah song and then they mixed in the actual version. That made my night.

Okay, so on last night's gay bar gallavant, what comes on the radio between bars-- PUSH IT by Salt & Pepa!

'Twas awesome, 'twas!

Guess that song is making a comeback because it's featured in that commercial I've been seeing.

The only more unexpected S&P song to make a comeback would be TRAMP.

"On the first date
he thought I was a dummy
He had the nerve
To tell me he loved me

Of course, I knew he was a lie, y'all
He undressed me with his eyeballs"
