What does Dolly Parton sing when she’s lying in the bathtub?

This week’s music: Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton

My Take:

Much to my amazement, as I sat in McDonald’s eating my McChicken, a familiar tune that Alisa loves came on. That’s right, Freeze Frame. Apparently that song is much better than any of us thought. So a shout-out to J. Geils, way to hide a great song (I guess?) inside a crappy song. You’re like DaVinci or something.

I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane:

2004

2005

2006

2008

2009

Given Nick’s recent surge, he could be well on his way to being repeat champs!

Also, does anyone know how Nick figures out when guys are going to be hot or coming off the DL and could you share that info with me? Thanks.
