YOU Programmed the World's Best Juke Box

 

Or, in a more contemporary reference, the world's best i-Pod. You got to program the music for your reunion. The parameters were September 1965 ─ when the rosy-cheeked class of 1971 entered Jericho Junior High School ─ through June 1973, when the badly sideburned class of 1973 hightailed it out of Jericho High. The songs ranged from Top 40 fodder to FM-radio staples, and included the most surreal segue in pop music history: Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe through the Tulips" into "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Scary.
