HITSVILLE UK Released January 16, 1981…A song by the Clash and the second off their fourth album Sandinista!. A duet between lead guitarist Mick Jones and his then-girlfriend Ellen Foley, it’s the 13th single release by the Clash. The lyrics refer to the emerging indie scene in British music in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which is held in contrast to the “mutants, creeps and musclemen” of the major labels with their “expense accounts” and “lunch discounts”, making “AOR” and using “chart-hyping” to sell their records. References are made to a number of UK independent labels (Small Wonder, Rough Trade, Fast Product and Factory). The song’s title is a nod to Motown Records, which used the moniker “Hitsville U.S.A.” in its advertising and to refer to the label’s first headquarters in Detroit. It is impossible to not like…
I am getting sick for Christmas!

Night Moves – Bob Seger Single released: December 12, 1976 Night Moves a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger. It was the lead single from his ninth studio album, Night Moves (1976), which was released on Capitol Records. Seger wrote the song as a coming of age tale about adolescent love and adult memory of it. It was based on Seger’s own teenage love affair he experienced in the early 1960s. It took him six months to write and was recorded quickly at Nimbus Nine Studios in Toronto, Ontario, with producer Jack Richardson. As much of Seger’s Silver Bullet Band had returned home by this point, the song was recorded with several local session musicians. Released as a single in December 1976, it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Seger’s first hit single since “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” from 1969. It also charted at number five in Canada and was a top 25 hit in Australia. The song was responsible for changing Seger from being a popular regional favorite into a national star. One of the most open, real stories in pop, captured that night well. |
