*** Rupert Holmes is having a birthday today. He sang one of the most recognizeable songs of the 70's, "Escape".

Never heard of it? Of course you have. It's better known as the Pina Colada song. Holmes had to be convinced to include the name of the drink in the title, and it was a good choice, as that's how the song is widely known.

Here's a version complete with lyrics so you can sing along.




*** The 80's Escape today was plain and simple. I was done fooling around, and was determined to get serious.

The one and only option - "Blame It On The Rain" by Milli Vanilli.
