it's that time everyone. time for skip rider's list of the top ten songs of the year! the year being 1979, of course, because music was just objectively better then, don't fight me on this.

10. my sharona, the knack
great song, awesome beat, slightly repetitve, a little creepy lyrics-wise given that it was written for a 17 year old by someone eight years older9. london calling, the clash
i have no fear 'cause london is drowning and i, i live by the riiiiver... great post-punk song8. highway to hell, ac/dc
who doesn't love to turn this all the way up and hear him screeching while you fly around?7. old time rock and roll, bob seger
switching gears from hard rock to a more classic style of rock, the kind tom cruise dances around to in his underwear6. escape (the piña colada song), rupert holmes
the best song ever written about infidelity that ends happily in a non-innuendo way5. another brick in the wall pt 2, pink floyd
yeah! stick it to the man!4. heart of glass, blondie
some people say this is disco and therefore isn't rock. i'm here to make the controversial claim that disco is rock, thank you very much!3. video killed the radio star, the buggles
this is just a great song, beginning to end. the radio voice, the nostalgia, amazing2. renegade, styx
technically came out the year before, but the single dropped in january '79, so this song that makes everyone want to rob a bank can be placed on the best songs of 1979 list instead
and finally, the number one song of 1979...1. DON'T STOP ME NOW, QUEEN
also technically released on album in '78, but the single came out in '79. one of the world's happiest songs, and one of the ones people are most likely to speed to. as you do

so i brought home my ice cream eating trophy to show the fam and i realized it makes it a rattling noise like there's something inside. should i...
a. smash it open
b. carefully make a small hole to see what's inside
c. leave it alone because it's probably possessed with the soul of a mexican jumping bean
