Gifted Program kids and repetitive music

If you were in the Gifted Program and listened to songs until they wore out the cassette tape, was Toto's Rosanna one of them?

I listened to comedy tapes on over and over. Got into music later but still listened to the same few things over and over. Not so strange in the old days when people owned a limited amount of music. I didn’t like radio because something I might not like could come on and I wasn’t in control of it.

Which ones? I wore out Delirious (Eddie), I Have a Pony (Steven), A Place for My Stuff (Carlin), Rappin' Rodney, and probably more.

I had ‘place for my stuff’ and ‘playing with your head’ (Carlin) and the worst of Monty Python, a Billy Crystal tape and Bill Cosby. Also Wierd Al albums! I am sure I had a Rodney Dangerfield one and also The Frantics (Canadian) and I’d tape things off the Dr. Demento show on a Sunday night
