Early 90s One-Hit Wonders Duke It Out During Throwback Thursday Competition [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 competition featured a couple of funky jams from the 1980s. I lost last week, so I teamed up with two listeners (Melinda and Lisa) to choose "Word Up" from Cameo. Liberty's song was inspired by one of her favorite movies from the 80s - Uncle Buck, so she chose "Wild Thing" from Tone Loc.

I lost again (shocker), but it wasn't nearly as bad as the beating I took last week. I had a respectable number of votes, just not nearly enough to beat Liberty. I reckon I will try again next week.

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.
