20 years. My how time flies. Or in the case of watching Amy Turner in the Hot Seat, how it crawled. Yes, it was on January 18, 2001 that LB sat his fat ass in my infamous seat and got nothing to show for it. That also means that today is the 20th anniversary of the day this infamous question was asked...

Image

Oops. RIP Ed, but the glowing potato will live on in infamy. And that would be the theme of today's LSWE game, things that glow. I'll give you a hint, LB's brain won't be one of the answers...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Coming over the airwaves
The man says I'm overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few

2. And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing
They were me that night

3. A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

4. Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating

5. Well, I`m not uptight
Not unattractive
Turn me on tonight

6. She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow

7. I like the enchiladas and the teriyaki too
I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue

8. It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

9. Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite

10. Daddy won a radio
He tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle
To the crying of a steel guitar

11. Why must I feel like that
Why must I chase the cat

12. And then this dance took through and through,
They looked for records they could do it to,
They found this dance was out of sight,
Doin' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
