Top 40 Years Ago<p>40 years ago this week, "Lucky" by <a href="https://musician.social/tags/GregKihn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GregKihn</span></a> entered the <a href="https://musician.social/tags/Top40" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Top40</span></a> at 38. It peaked at 30 on 06 Apr 1985. It didn't do as well as "Jeopardy" had two years earlier, but I think it's catchy. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNHWpi7CKgU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=qNHWpi7CKg</span><span class="invisible">U</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1980s</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/MusicHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicHistory</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/MusicVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicVideo</span></a></p>

He's fallen into obscurity now, because his '80s look didn't feature the cartoony New Wave that's usually the focus of retro nostalgia, but you couldn't get AWAY from this song in summer 1983 when it first came out, at the beginning of my high-school years which is why it looms so large in my life. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/15/arts/music/greg-kihn-dead.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2024/08/15/arts/mu</span><span class="invisible">sic/greg-kihn-dead.html</span></a></p>
