Starship and Cold Chisel are both lurking in the queue for you today, so stick around for that one. But right this second, Rick James is about to funk up your lunch break, here on 80's Lunch on Streamless FM.
Fri, 9 Oct, 1:27pm · 80's Lunch · into Super Freak · the break Bec: Thursday morning, Big Breakfast is rolling, and I am wide awake, unlike half of Melbourne right now. Jeff: 1981 called, Bec, it wants its funk bassline back. Bec: It can want all it likes, Jeff, Rick James is staying right here with us. Jeff: At least it's before 1996, so technically I allow it. Bec: How generous of you. This is Bec, and Super Freak is about to make this kitchen a dance floor.
