We really can’t say anything about Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian” other than this: it’s a radical song and everyone everywhere should know every word. Ya heard?

Many people don’t realize this, but Dobie Gray’s most popular song, “Drift Away” was originally sung by John Henry Kurtz, whose version definitely didn’t make as big as a splash as Gray’s 1973 rendition.

Remember when Vanessa Williams sang? Yeah, we nearly forgot, too. That is until we found this super radical of the Ugly Betty actress’ 1991 hit, “Running Back To You.”

Warning: this video’s not recommended for people prone to seizures.

Gladys Knight, the Pips and a “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Need we say more?

Brazilian Girls are performing in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park tonight, so we thought we’d throw up a track from the most recent album, 2006’s Talk To La Bomb. Said song’s called “Jique,” and we dedicate it to you and only you.

Like SOS Band, the 70s-era rockers of Player only had one number one: “Baby Come Back.” But it’s a damn fine track and definitely deserves a bit of a comeback.

Don’t be alarmed, SOS Band’s shit doesn’t need saving. Rather, the acronym stands for Sounds of Success. The majority of this success came in the early 1980s, specifically with their first - and only - number one hit, “Take Your Time (Do It Right).” We’ve included it above. After the jump? “Just The Way You Like It.”

You gotta watch out for those young hearts, readers, because they run free…

California-based aural outfit Rubies describe their sound as indie, pop and soul. Those three adjectives may seem contradictory, but the gals definitely pull it off on this track “Stand In Line.”

We had a hard time deciding which Juvelen track to feature this afternoon, because, you know, we love ourselves some Swedish pop. So, rather than picking a favorite, we’re including “Don’t Mess” and “They Don’t Love You,” in that order…

From the editor: The Big Chill’s funeral scene remains one of my favorite cinematic moments ever.

You know the story - college chums gather for dead friends memorial, spend the weekend reminiscing, lamenting, drugging and sexing, a story set up perfectly by The Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

Plus, the cast’s fucking incredible. William Hurt, anyone?

Queer Canadian dance outfit Fritz Helder and The Phantoms could single-handedly revive the electroclash movement. If you don’t believe us, check out this ultra-gy video for “Make A Scene.” Oh, and see if you can spot the increasingly blonde Nelly Furtado.

Sometimes the greatest tracks need no words, like DJ Shadow’s “The Organ Donor.”

Mondays can get pretty hectic, so let’s all chill for a second with some classic Peggy Lee: “You Was Right, Baby.”

It’s been quite some time since we last listened to The Cure, so let’s all enjoy this old classic, “Lovesong.” We will always love you, reader!
