The Hits of 1977: Casey Kasem, Eat Your Heart Out

from PAST 10s: A Top 10 Time Machine - Music of the 70s, 80s and More

Dave and Milt ride the Past 10s time machine to the week ending March 19, 1977, riffing on questionable water-park hygiene, a 44‑hour hijacking, FDA rules for “mixed nuts,” the Mary Tyler Moore finale giving birth to Three’s Company and Eight Is Enough, and the cultural moment of Annie Hall, M*A*S*H, Trinity, and Roots. They count down Billboard’s Top 10, spotlighting Fleetwood Mac’s first Top 10 hit “Go Your Own Way,” Thelma Houston’s Motown disco breakthrough “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” and Bob Seger’s “Night Moves” (plus its later video cameo and a “night cheese” riff). They groan through softer fare like David Soul, Mary McGregor, and Kenny Nolan, then debut a new listener segment, the “long distance defecation,” featuring Joe Mason’s Philly heartbreak and a Rolling Stones “Get Off My Cloud” dedication.    Topics 00:23 Past Tens Intro 00:55 Big Arch Burger Debate 02:17 New Segment Tease 03:31 Arriving in 1977 04:29 Week in History Rundown 08:28 Mixed Nuts and Chex Mix 10:35 TV Birthdays and Annie Hall 14:27 Number 10 Fleetwood Mac 19:34 Demos Ads and Music Immortality 24:45 Number 9 Thelma Houston 31:07 ChatGPT Fail and Threads Talk 34:04 Number 8 David Soul 37:42 David Soul Aftermath 38:24 Cigarettes Then and Now 39:49 Torn Between Two Lovers 43:44 Meatballs Soundtrack Detour 46:35 Made for TV Movie Promo 48:15 I Like Dreaming Roast 51:42 Kenny Nolan Secret Hits 54:12 Long Distance Defecation 58:22 Get Off My Cloud Storytime 01:05:42 Dancing Queen Still Rules 01:11:42 Night Moves Deep Dive 01:20:05 Night Cheese and Copyright 01:22:22 Comedy Song Rights 01:23:43 Seeger Bar Challenge 01:27:13 Rich Girl Breakdown 01:30:10 Calling Oates Hotline 01:33:56 Grinch Girl Parody 01:35:17 Lake Street Dive Cover 01:37:08 Fly Like an Eagle Deep Dive 01:44:22 Evergreen At Number One 01:47:56 Winners And Substitutions 01:58:48 Time Machine Rating 02:02:55 Long Distance Dedication
