Ep 34 Dec 1981, Kool and the Gang and the End of 1981 Review

Get down on this podcast! Today, we reach the end of 1981! Can you believe that we're a fifth of the way through this journey already?! And as such, we feature but one song, the only remaining song to mention for 1981 and playlist 34 (the one that stupid here should have just tacked on to episode 33.5). Yes folks, we get cool with Kool and the Gang and their classic hit Get Down On It. Then, a little revue of 1981 and what it meant in the pop zeitgeist, before we hand out some metaphorical awards to the artists of the day. Who will win best solo artist? Who will scoop the most important song of the year? All will be revealed and then we look forward to 1982 and I make the specious claim that 1982 - 1986 are the bit of the 80s we all love the most. Tune in as we celebrate 1981! Links to playlist 34:  Spotify Apple Music In case the playlist hyperlinks don't work on your podcast platform of choice, the songs are: 1. Kool and the Gang - Get Down On It (yup, it's just one song, the lesson as always is I'm an idiot)
