Throwback Thursday Competition – Mr. Mister vs. INXS [Videos]
If you enjoy the music on MY105.3, I'm going to assume that you really enjoy (more specifically) the music we play from the 80s and 90s. If that assumption is true, then I should also assume that you especially enjoy our weekly Throwback Thursday competition.
How Our Throwback Thursday Competition Works
Each Thursday morning, Liberty and I choose an old-school song, something from the 80s or 90s. The goal is to get the most votes for your song, so in order to do that, we both plead our cases around 7:35am. After that, the outcome is out of our hands - you determine the winner by voting on Facebook, AppChat, or on the phone. We play the winning song on the air at 8:10am. There is one caveat when it comes to choosing our songs. The previous week's winner gets to choose whatever song their little heart desires. The previous week's loser, however, forfeits the right to choose a song and must ask our listeners for help. The loser then picks a song from all those that get suggested.
Bobby's Song
It's lesser-known than "Broken Wings," but superior in my opinion. It's the 1985 song from Mr. Mister that shares the ancient prayer "Kyrie."
Liberty's Song
Liberty was inspired by soundtracks from some of our favorite 80s movies, which led to her looking at The Lost Boys. She chose the toe-tapping jam from INXS and Jimmy Barnes, "Good Times."
Be sure to listen next Thursday at 7:35am when we plead our cases for two more songs, and then be sure to vote for the one you want to hear. We will play the winner at 8:10am.
