This week on the Retro Lounge, brought to you by Backstage, Thunder Bay’s newest music and accessory store at 215 Red River Road.

I’ll play songs that created catch phrases, sayings and cliches; like happiness is a warm puppy, like my dog Logan and; a B.T.O. hit spawned a phrase for being on the job; rosy sayings made into classics from Poison and Bon Jovi; sayings about birds linked to a Flock of Seagulls and Lynyrd Skynyrd; Arsenio Hall popularizes a C+ C Music Factory track; chains and weak links connect to a big quiz show and The Pretenders and Erasure; REM creates a catchphrase with a song involving Dan Rather and Bruce Hornsby uses a famous phrase for newsman Walter Cronkite; a phrase from Will Smith involving a classic TV theme, the Rolling Stones with a track influenced by a big 70s trend and more.
