Song of the Day: February 3


'Tis the season for weather references on the radio.

After yesterday's momentary tease when temperatures climbed into the mid 40s, the mercury dropped -- nay, divebombed -- by nightfall when I left the office around 8.

And all that snow that melted yesterday froze overnight, which made for a fitting song choice on the way in this morning.

"Cold as Ice" by Foreigner.

Recorded in 1977 by the British-American rockers, it became one of the most popular songs of the band in the U.S., reaching number 6 in the Billboard Hot 100. It has been covered by more than a dozen bands. The band still tours today and teamed up last year with Styx and Kansas for the United in Rock Tour. This summer, they'll join Styx and Journey in a UK tour schedule.
