Good Morning Wisconsin - Lake 961

Sir Paul McCartney plays the first of two nights in Chicago at the United Center, so in honor of that I have McCartney for you today and tomorrow!

Thought I'd go with "Silly Love Songs," inspired by critics - including John Lennon - that Paul was going too soft with his music and writing silly love songs. And Paul apparently thought "what's wrong with that?" So of course, he turned it into a song with his band Wings.
First appearing in March 1976 on the album Wings at the Speed of Sound, "Silly Love Songs" went to #1, becoming McCartney's 27th US number one as a songwriter, giving him the all-time record. The song also went #1 in Canada and Ireland. With a bit of a disco and funk beat but still somewhat gentle, "Silly Love Songs" had its own groove and a good bassline.
McCartney also invited the horn section to create their own parts for the song, giving it one of its most distinct features that have been sampled on several club hits since.
Doubtful it'll be on the setlist tonight, but I have "Silly Love Songs" on Lake961 for you just after 8am! – Eric Paulsen

Today, we have another song that's been on my list for a while as we kick Friday off "Sowing the Seeds of Love" with Tears for Fears!
This hit from 1989 was off their The Seeds of Love album and was their biggest hit behind only "Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule the World."
It's a throwback to '60s nostalgia (big in the late '80s) with a nod to The Beatles and a kind of Flower Power philosophy, including political lyrics starting with "High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man" and ending with "an end to need and the politics of greed."
The song was a worldwide hit, topping the Canadian RPM 100 Singles chart and reaching the top 10 in Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, it reached #2 on the Billboard HOT100, becoming their fourth and last top 10 hit.
Let’s "sow some seeds" - of love - with Tears For Fears just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

Today, let's play a newer song by longtime singer and soap opera star Michael Damian called "Let Me Into Your Heart," so I thought I'd his old #1 hit going - a cover of "Rock On," which was originally done by David Essex back in 1974. The song pays homage to early rock-and-roll and its surrounding youth subculture, referencing the likes of James Dean and songs like "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Summertime Blues." Essex's version was very stripped down and avant garde; no instrument plays a chord. Damian loved the song growing up and his version, which came out in 1989, added rock guitars and beats and was featured in the film Dream a Little Dream, which starred the two Coreys of the era, Haim and Feldman. Damian's cover hit #1 in the U.S. and Canada, and who knew he'd crank out a new hit in 2025. But let's go back to '89 and Rock On with Michael Damian just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

It's a listener request and she just turned 65 yesterday… Kim Wilde, with her New Wave hit "Kids In America"! Wilde is the daughter of Marty Wilde, one of the first Brits to try rock & roll over there, along with Cliff Richard, who would help inspire members of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and more to get into rock and roll. Marty had recently seen a TV show featuring American teenagers and took inspiration from their single-minded and hard attitudes, leading him to the song's story of a tough girl looking out of the window and thinking, "What the damn hell am I doing sitting here" (by the way, none of them had been to the US at this point). Her brother Ricky produced, creating a throbbing synthesizer pulse alongside some crashing electronic beats. Kim sang and it was her first release. "Kids In America" was a big hit in Britain when it was released there in 1981, and became a decent level hit - #25 - on the US Billboard HOT100 in 1982. It topped the charts in Finland, South Africa, and Zimbabwe while going top 5 in Switzerland, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, and West Germany. Lets go with the "Kids In America" just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

I'm going with Elton and a song I've wanted to put on here for a while, "Healing Hands." An underrated cut from his 1989 Sleeping With the Past album, this song reminds you that "there's a light when the darkness ends" with a bit of a gospel influence with inspiration from the Four Tops massive 1966 hit "Reach Out (I'll Be There)." Written in Denmark, "Healing Hands" hit #13 on the US Billboard HOT100 and topped the Adult Contemporary chart in the Fall of 1989. It's a healing song for many, let's roll it for you just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen
