TV dinners
They're going to my head
TV dinners
My skin is turnin' red
Twenty year old turkey
In a thirty year old tin
I can't wait until tomorrow
And thaw one out again

Below Radar ...

Sure, you know Dream Weaver (and hopefully enjoy it). If so, take a little deeper dive sometime into Gary Wright - terrific stuff to be found. You may recognize 'Love Is Alive', the follow-up hit to Dream Weaver and maybe even the below radar single 'Really Wanna Know You' from 1981 (a personal favorite). My recommendation is a copy of Wright's 'The Essentials' (from 2002). Here's a list of songs from that collection:

Dream Weaver
Love Is Alive
Made To Love You
Phantom Writer
Time Machine
Water Sign
Touch And Gone
Love's Awake Inside
Heartbeat
Really Wanna Know You
Someone Like You
If You Believe In Heaven

Won't you take me back to school?
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line?
I need to hear it just one more time

Soundtrack HOF (imho) ...

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)

Just check out the list of contributors sometime ... also, throw together your own deluxe version with songs not even released on the soundtrack:

We Got the Beat (The Go-Go's)*
American Girl (Tom Petty)
Kashmir (Led Zeppelin)
Moving In Stereo (The Cars)**
Winter Wonderland (Darlene Love)***

* - the excellent Go-Go's tune 'Speeding' did make the soundtrack
** - used during the greatest scene in movie history
*** - Die Hard? christmas movie; Fast Times? not a christmas movie; also note, Darlene Love plays Murtaugh's wife in Lethal Weapon (borderline christmas movie)

And that's just what they'll do

Are gonna walk all over you
