I’m listening to Club 977 80’s channel on internet radio while I work, and generally there’s a pretty good mix of music from those glorious retro years. But every now and then a song pops up and makes one wonder, where the heck did that come from?

Take the current song, Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, whose refrain goes something like this:

I’m a private dancer,
A dancer for money,
Do what you want me to do,
Just a private dancer,
A dancer for money,
Any old music will do.

Umm… what? Come on, Tina, that’s just stuff we don’t want to know about. Give me Karma Chameleon or something with equally crazy lyrics, because at least that song is fun.
