Khomeini, the Ayatollah to Iran, finally returned to his country today, after 15 years of exile. The people swept to him. The government, however, intervened. 'I will not allow the country to be governed by any force other than legitimate authority,' said Prime Minister Shahpur Bakhtiar.

July 25, 1979

November 26, 1979: US Embassy in Iran Siezed
After a public condemnation of President Carter by Ayatollah Khomeini, the U.S. embassy in Iran was seized by rebelling Iranians.

The Knack---My Sharona
Ost. Reality Bites
Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.

Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.

Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...
When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?

Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Ahh, freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic, freak out!
Ahh, freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic, freak out!
Ahh, freak out! Le Freak, c'est Chic, freak out!
Have you heard about the new dance craze?
Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed.
Big fun to be had by everyone, it's up to you, it surely can be done.
Young and old are doing it, I'm told,
Just one try, and you too will be sold.
It's called Le Freak! They're doing it night and day,
Allow us, we'll show you the way.
Chorus
All that pressure got you down, has your head spinning all around,
Feel the rhythm, chant the rhyme, come on along and have a real good time.
Like the days of stomping at the Savoy, now we freak, oh what a joy,
Just come on down, to the 54, find a spot out on the floor.
Chorus
Now Freak! I said Freak! Now Freak!
All that pressure got you down, has your head spinning all around,
Feel the rhythm, check the ride, come on along and have a real good time.
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy, now we freak, oh what a joy,
Just come on down, to 54, find a spot out on the floor.
Chorus
3. Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? - Rod Stewart
Sugar
Sugar
mmm ... ooh
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all her questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got his girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone
[break]
They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He say's I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
Tell me so, baby
4. Bad Girls - Donna Summer
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah
See them out on the street at night, walkin'
Picking up on all kinds of strangers
If the price is right
You can't score if you're pocket's tight
But you want a good time
You ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else
They come from near and far
Bad girls, yeah
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls, yeah
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah
Friday night and the strip is hot
Sun's gone down and they're out to trot
Spirit's high and legs look hot
Do you wanna get down
Now don't you ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else, they wanna be a star
Bad girl
Sad girl, you're such a naughty bad girl
Beep-Beep, uh-uh
You bad girl you sad girl
Your such a dirty bad girl
Beep-Beep, uh-uh
Now you and me we're both the same
But you call yourself by different names
Now your mama won't like it when she finds out
That her girl is out at night
Hey, Mister, have you got a dime
Mister, do you want to spent some time
Oh, yeah
I got what you want, you got what I need
I'll be your baby, come and spend it on me
Hey, Mister
I'll spend some time with you

Someone came up to me,
And said, Young Man
Take a walk up the street,
It's a place there -
Called the YMCA,
They can start you back on your way..
