"Ricky" is a 1983 song by American parody artist "Weird Al" Yankovic, duetting with voice actress #TressMacNeille. It is a parody of the 1982 song "#Mickey" by #ToniBasil, which itself is a cover of #MikeChapman and #NickyChinn's "Kitty" recorded by #Racey. The song focuses on #LucyAndRickyRicardo in 1950's #sitcom #ILoveLucy, and their general discussions and hobbies within the show. "Ricky" was one of the last two tracks added to "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Ian Dury & the Blockheads - "Hit me with your rhythm stick", on video.

Olivia Newton John - "A little more love". Repeated from last year, the pink blouse pops against the stark black backdrop.

Racey - "Lay your love on me" Not *quite* the theme from Kick Start, but close enough.

Passt gut zum letzten Musik Trööt!
Das Lied erinnert mich daran, als ich als Kind zum ersten mal auf einem Schützenfest war.
Das Lied spielten sie am Karussel (Musik Epress hieß es, glaube ich)
Und ich bekam eine Gänsehaut.
Was Musik alles erwirken kann, ist mir bis heute noch ein Rätsel.

Oder für Musikfans, ein Buch mit sieben Siegel, um den Ralf ins Spiel zu bringen ;-)
