I just got done watching a new show on NBC called H1t Me Baby One More Time. Basically they get 5 old bands/artists to perform one of their hits for the first half hour of the show, and then the same performers cover a current song in the second half hour. Tonight they had Loverboy (Working For The Weekend), A Flock Of Seagulls (I Ran), Arrested Development (Tennessee), CeCe Peniston (Finally), and Tiffany (I Think We’re Alone Now). Next week they’re going to have Tommy Tutone (867-5309 (Jenny)), The Knack (My Sharona), Vanilla Ice (Ice Ice Baby), Haddaway (What Is Love), and The Motels (Only The Lonely). Some of the upcoming artists are Wang Chung (Everybody Wang Chung Tonight), Cameo (Word Up), and Sophie B. Hawkins (Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover). I’m really going to enjoy watching this show since I love the 80’s and lately I’ve gotten into cover songs, partly because of a podcast I’ve been listening to for a while, Coverville.
