In the next 20 20 Retro Countdown - we're playing a stack of songs that are nice - and use their manners...

It's our last ditch effort to get on Santa's nice list...

Not saying that we're on the naughty list.... maybe just the other list...

 

20 20 Misunderstood

 

Did you know there's even "nice list" certificates now???? Or maybe they've always been around... we've just never received one!

 

20 20 Nice Certificate

 

So, we're playing 20 songs with tips on how to get one of those nice list certificates... and if the countdown doesn't help.. maybe these tips from Santa will..

 

 

We can only hope that Santa is listening to the next 20 20 Retro Countdown!

 

December 1990

20 20 December 1990

 

In the next 20 20 Retro Countdown - we're heading back to this week in 1990..

The week when the tv family "The Simpsons" released an album... there was only 1 track on it that appeared in the tv show..

Do you remember the "Second Grade Blues"?

 

Maybe you were heading to Melbourne to see the premier of the Australian production of "Phantom Of The Opera" during this week in 1990..

It starred Anthony Warlow and Marina Prior..

Or the Stephen King thriller "Misery" could've been more your thing....it hit the cinemas during this week 25 years ago!

 

 

And the musical world was rocked by the news that these guys had not sung on their songs... leading to the stripping of their Grammy awards..

20 20 Milli Vanilli

 

All that and more on the way as we visit this week in 1990 on the 20 20 Retro Countdown!

Icehouse are high up on the list too - but it's not a song that I would've thought would rank so high...
