was that the theme song from the show with Valerie Bertinelli? The one with Schneider, the handyman guy? I think that might be it.

[nightworm]

ohhhhh "One Day At A Time" ....that one was sung by a woman, and it went "this is it!" and that's all i remember. maybe the melody's the same? i dunno. lemme do some research. thanks for the tip!

my ears are bleeding, brought back strange memories of my child hood in the 70's I was so glad to find new wave n punk. thanks for puttin this up,,, now to get to the er lol

[nightworm]

whilst i agree punk/new wave was far superior in musicality, you HAVE to have a soft spot for these cheesy songs. they bring back such weird memories!

Reminds me of the Bosom Buddies theme song.

[DJHotbuns]

Hard to make a swap in this mix but there's no strange magic here...

Nice smooth picks, nightworm

[whitewitchoz]

Great video...you and MM are my heros.

[YachtRock70s]

Dude! Still the most awesome video ever on soft rock golden nuggets!

[danieprice1]

Lovin' this guy...

[bringbackthemusic]

Love the picks, got myself an ever growing playlist of these yacht rock tunes. Is it me or does Mike Mcdonald look like Caleb Followill in that last picture? Anyway pretty sure I know the TV theme you are after, will rack my brain a little more!

[77Fortran]

Great video! But! Has your voice broken yet? :D

[AORCrazy]

Man you're stoned :-) but i like your choice of music, it's like i made the mix!

[MSMILLA]

OMG...This is the best mix ever. I swear that I love all those songs when I was a kid on a long rode trip. I like the "Escape Song aka Pina Colada" They don't make music like this anymore but it is fun to reminisce.

10cc song use to give me the willies when I was a kid then I learn to appreciate the song. I had bad dreams about King Kong and that song. Crazy!!

Bosom Buddies??? I am just guessing.

(Love the vid) I just found number 11 for ya. How about Kenny Loggins - Heart to Heart. I know Kenny is at 10 but "Heart to Heart" is addictive and the words are a little confusing to sing when your blastin it during rush gridlock.
