It’s the end of the night – known to non-college students as the early morning – and someone plays a song that makes every person in the room stand up from their chair, put down their Mein Bowl, and shout the lyrics at the top of their lungs. The throwback. If you’re under the impression the word “throwback” constitutes a jazzy 2005 Ray J classic, then you my friend need to be educated on proper post-gaming song selection. Let me help you out with this week’s edition of The Tuesday 10: Top 10 Throwbacks.
1. Take Me Home Tonight – Eddie Money
2. Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield
3. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond
4. Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
5. Livin’ On a Prayer – Bon Jovi
6. Bennie & The Jets – Elton John
7. Take on Me – a-ha
8. Just a Friend – Biz Markie
9. (For the girls…) I Wanna Dance With Somebody – Whitney Houston
And last but not least, considering it’s Bentley and you’ll have the same Long Islander : Non-Long Islander ratio as you will guys : girls, ANY BILLY JOEL SONG EVER will suffice. Totally acceptable, since Billy Joel is a fantastic go-to, just be prepared to hear a room full of “Hey! Did you know my mom ran into Billy in the Hamptons once?”
10. Uptown Girl / It’s Still Rock N Roll to Me / Only The Good Die Young / Piano Man– Billy Joel
