The Big Dance With A Twist

My Gopher team lost in the first round to Xavier today 65-54.  Well, so much for a heroic charge to the title game.  There was also some speculation that our coach may be going to greener pastures. You just led our team into a dark alley then abandoned them when most of them will be coming back next year. I hope that this is not truly the case.  So we toast your honor with this song.  Now that the formalites are over, it is time to let loose and get all twisted with this New Wave stuff.  Let's start it off with "Rapture" by Blondie.  Since it is apropo for some of the players to feel slighted, this next tune should answer many questions: "Once in a Lifetime."  The nest song is the first public performance of "Message in a Bottle" by The Police.  It is time to kick it out with The Ramones by hearing them do the tune. "Blitzkrieg Bop."  A discourse of New Wave and Punk would not be complete without having some Patti Smith thrown into the mix.  Here is the tune "Because the Night" (It was cowritten by Bruce Springsteen).  Time to put on the dancing shoes and kick it up.  Let's hear it for The B-52's doing "Private Idaho."
