Hey, that's from NDR, a German TV channel.
I feel old :-\. I remember all the songs that were posted :laugh:
(*shhht* but at least I never owned them ;) *runs from oilgun*)

I can't watch the video (dial-up) but I remember "Fly Robin Fly". I was in junior high school when that song came out. 8th grade I think. :)
For some reason everytime I hear that song I think about Florida. I think we were getting ready to take a trip to Florida when I first heard the song. And it was on the school bus! Our bus driver used to have WNDE tuned in on the radio each morning.
I also think of Florida each time I hear Elton John's Philadelphia Freedom. We were in a Miami restaurant the first time I heard that song. Isn't it weird how our memories work?

62 F here in Indianapolis! Yesterday it was in the 70s. It is supposed to get colder though. It might even snow on Sunday! But they said the cold snap will only last a day or two and then it will warm back up again.

As in..."Fly, Robin, Fly, Up, Up to the Sky".
And this one, also with only six words:

OMG! That's disco with Ilja Richter!
You're dishing out childhood memories for me, Paul! :D Ilja Richter and his show disco are legend! He had a standard opening:
"Hallo Freunde" (Hello friends), and the audience responded unisono "Hallo Ilja". And after indtroducing a title, he said "Licht aus - Spot an" (Lights out - spot on).

Yeah, David, I too associate certain songs with places. Whenever I hear Lisa Stansfield's "All Around the World", I always think of Paris in 1990, as it was all over the radio! I remember that when I returned from my six-week trip, who should be playing the Opera House in Boston? Lisa Stansfield!

Hallo Chrissi!
Chuck started this little musical tangent when he mentioned "the bump".
