Driving Mrs. Xmastime

As with "65 Love Affair" mentioned below, there are certain songs that I have only ever heard on my hometown radio station, and if I went home today and turned to 105.5 on the dial, I swear they'd be playing. Stuck in some weird, not-even-oldies-or-ironic-we-just-still-play-them time warp playlist. I sometimes think these songs were only ever played at that station and nowhere else, including:

"Take It Easy On Me" – Little River Band
"Stranger in My House" – Ronnie Milsap
"I Wouldn’t Have Missed it for the World" - Ronnie Milsap
"Just Once" – James Ingram
"For Your Eyes Only" - from the Bond flick, whoever did it. Sheena Easton?  - XMASTIME
I don't know much about terrestrial radio elsewhere, since I've never driven anywhere else, but my return behind the wheel has taught me that Richmond radio cannot go longer than 5 minutes without playing Segar's Old Time Rock and Roll or John Cougar Mellencamp's I Need a Lover. Whack.

And don't get me started on the fact that I've heard more Dave fucking Matthews in the last few days than in the previous 20 years. Grrrrrrr.
