Well who knew that today was an official holiday? Apparently it's Michael Jackson Day all day on every tv station - even CNN is a big sell out and the Today Show had a "special edition" this morning in honor of MJ Day. THIS is not news. A death is news - todays "tribute concert" is a cheap and easy way for journalists to get out of a day of real work.
Anyway, I digress, but I will indulge MJ Day because the Michael of my memory reminds me of a gross flowery carpet in my living room and lots of dancing to records. The Michael of my youth, the one I think of when I hear the word Michael Jackson, is a fantastic dancer with albums you could play over and over. (Great big ole records that would play 5 songs on one side (flip) and 4 on the other (flip) and repeat.)
The song that IS the 1980's to me and has a little bit of 70's funk to it is P.Y.T, so if CNN can cheat on journalism, I can cheat on my blog and share a little Pretty Young Thing for Tuesday's Tunes! Plus, how often do you get to write the word "tenderoni" since the 90's ended?
Where Did You Come From Lady
And Ooh Won't You Take Me There
Right Away Won't You Baby
Tenderoni You've Got To Be
Spark My Nature
Sugar Fly With Me
Don't You Know Now
Is The Perfect Time
We Can Make It Right
Hit The City Lights
Then Tonight Ease The Lovin' Pain
Let Me Take You To The Max
I Want To Love You
(P.Y.T.)Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin'
(T.L.C.)Tender Lovin' Care
And I'll Take You There
I Want To Love You
(P.Y.T.)Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin'
(T.L.C.)Tender Lovin' Care
I'll Shake You There
Nothin' Can Stop This Burnin'
Desire To Be With You
Gotta Get To You Baby
Won't You Come, It's Emergency
Cool My Fire Yearnin'
Honey, Come Set Me Free
Don't You Know Now
Is The Perfect Time
We Can Dim The Lights
Just To Make It Right
In The Night
Hit The Lovin' Spot
I'll Give You All That I've Got
I Want To Love You
(P.Y.T.)Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin'
(T.L.C.)Tender Lovin' Care
And I'll Take You There
I Want To Love You
(P.Y.T.)Pretty Young Thing
You Need Some Lovin'
(T.L.C.)Tender Lovin' Care
I'll Take You There

I'm sorry for MJ's family and kids, but there are other things going on in the world that deserve attention too.
I have had this song in my head for days already, thanks to you. Doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon!
Aim - my heart breaks for those kids. One thing I can say is that MJ worked VERY hard at keeping his kids out of the public eye. I am sure he would flip out if he know that his family had his daughter speak yesterday. That poor, poor child.
Beth - you are a PYT ;)
