Guilty Pleasure Songs

Jenny and Kara Hunter join us in an episode dedicated to 1970s guilty pleasures. There is discussion of picardy thirds, paradiddles, classical music radio voices and cold endings. We wonder at the plethora of versions of "I Write the Songs" released in 1975. Kara decides to change her name to Dragon and reveals her dream radio format-- all Abba all the time. We consider whether you can still be a "Dancing Queen" if you are over the age of 17.  Plus we try to decide whose version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" was better, Simon & Garfunkel or The Bangles. Captain and Tennille, Barry Manilow, David Cassidy and, for some reason, Lenny Kravitz are part of the freewheeling conversation.
