This month ... it's all about the top 30 jukebox memories (see rules below) -- relevant because it was *our* class who got a jukebox installed in the cafeteria (along with Coke machines and one of those electronic message boards).
Coming in on the countdown at #28 (see link below): Tone Loc's classic warning about drinking the wrong thing: 'Funky Cold Medina', released in March of 1989 ... just a few months before *we* were released from high school. Nowadays I'm guessing such a song might not make it past the censors in a school ... but since the whole jukebox thing was so new, I'm not sure that anyone was paying that close attention to the messages of the tunes to which we were listening at lunch way back then ...
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: Songs are as remembered from when they were being played loudly in the cafeteria, making us all raise our voices at mealtimes in order to hear each other. All memories are believed to be accurate and will be fact checked on the interwebs to make sure that featured songs were actually released prior to June of 1989 (but since these memories are thirty years old, there is not a guarantee of 100% accuracy.) Also note that an appearance on this list is not necessarily an endorsement of the song or the artist. And if anyone out there wants to make a mixtape that we can all make copies of at the reunion, now is the time to start working on that task.
