Throwback Thursday – Obscure 90s Band vs. 80s Diva [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.
This Week's Competition
This week's old-school battle featured an obscure one-hit wonder from the 90s and a superstar diva from the 80s. I chose the former and went with "Van Halen" from the band Nerf Herder. Liberty teamed up with a listener and went with "Tell It To My Heart" from Taylor Dayne.
Today is Liberty's birthday, so I like to think that my gift to her was choosing a song that (apparently) nobody has ever heard. The fact is, though, I really expected to get more votes than I did. In case you couldn't tell from that setup - my song got destroyed, and LIberty won big time.
This Week's Loser
This Week's Winner
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.
