Dwight Twilley's on Fi-yah!
I bet there are multiple classic sets that kick off with "I'm On Fire".
ETA: there are 3.

I was thinking the Exact. same. Thing -- must be one of Dave's most reliable TOTHK's.
Al-lo! This set may be a multiple-appearance "classic", methinks.

Actually no, it seem sto be a set that we first heard last August, and while it was a classic, it wasn't a dupe classic.
Strike that, Mike was right, 2006 and again last Aug.
And it is a really great set, very eclectic, and the only Katrina is already out of the way.
-
I'm guessing the Katrina is Dwight?
I'll still BOS it.
.. and BOS2 to Once Bitten Twice Shy-ee-ay-ee-ay-ee-ay

First aired May 2, 2006. Mark, there's another curly apostrophe* in I'm On Fire that's messing up the sort.
*I hate those things, and curly aka smart quotes as well. They play hell with HTML--produce all sorts of weird characters. They're an MS Word artifact.
-

well, that's the way of the world! ;)
-

It most certainly is (24% of all '75 sets), and pretty much the only song from the early-mid 70's that even qualifies.
-
not sure why I'm picking this out to post, but in three songs, we have three extra-syllabic pronunciations:
"I'm on fi-yah.."
"Once Bitten, Twice Shy-ee-ay-ee-ay..."
"Hearts of fi-yah..."
'twas the fashion, then..
-
BOS1 to Ian Hunter, and #2 to EWF. Babaywonchahemihai!

I fixed mine, but that wasn't my excuse. I looked at the 2006 set and somehow concluded the tune #2 was not Ian Hunter.
-
Tune #4 is not a 10@10 Katrina, but it sure is a regular airplay katrina. We need a glossary term for those.
-
are you sure we didn't hear this set again between August and now? It's sounding VERY familiar -- I remember discussing "Sweet Emotion", and how it's not a 10@10 Katrina but it *is* a KFOG rotation Katrina.

Good point. Kinda like sax solos in 1978 sets.

The radio must be quite a bit ahead of the stream today. Proxy WOS for Mike, "Sweet Emotion".

it sounds very familiar to me, too. I think we did hear this.

if we did it was between Thanksgiving (when I last updated th eDB) & now. So I doubt it.
I think that's just an example of tempus fugit.

Que the sax... BOS Bowie

The only other 1975 set we have heard since late November was the one in Jan that featured "White Punks On Dope."
You guys just have good memories of August I guess.

yep, back when they were still a prog rock band. Benson was talking about synthesizers in rock all morning (decent example here in fact) & it turns out he is a big ELP fan. So now I like him a lot better.

"Good Company" gets played in '75 and '76 -- sort of an honorary 'trina if not a literal one.

Yeah, it really doesn't hold up to repeated listenings. A little too much ukelele for frequent playing.

A little too much cribbing from "When I'm Sixty-Four" perhaps?

When visiting Universal Studios in Hollywood, ask for Mandy.
actually "Mandy" would be legal in '75, right?

didn't Dave once do a Manilow MegaMix for an HFH set years ago? He really should give Barry the rehab treatment (a la ABBA). I'd love to hear "Copacabana" some morning. Seriously.

from Songfacts.com:
Scott English wrote the lyrics and recorded it in 1971 as "Brandy." His version was a hit in the UK. When Manilow recorded it for the US, this was changed to "Mandy" to avoid confusion with the Looking Glass hit "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)." The bit about "Mandy" being about Manilow's dog is an urban myth. English says he was woken by a phone call from a reporter, wanting to know who "Brandy" was. "I would have said anything to get rid of him," says English, "So I spat out the first thing that came to mind: It was about a dog like Lassie and I had sent her away - now you go away!' And I hung up on him." (thanks, Judy - Melbourne, Australia)

a bit less sappy than Barry's (and some diff lyrics) -- but Clive Davis saw something there, and the rest, as they say...
But Barry does love dogs:

I have a Barry Manilow box set (cue Mike: "Know how I know you're gay?"), and he tells this story there too. And includes his first attempt at recording it. A studio guy says, "Mandy, take one." And Barry says, "Oh, am I singing Mandy?" And proceeds to sing "Brandy" the first time through, muttering, "Whoops!" immediately after. A shame, as it was an otherwise strong first take.

TANC: Gaz, dunno if you saw this on the NYRMB, but there was a thread about what the current definition of "rock" is (someone questioned WRXP playing The Ting-Tings) and Carol Miller of Q-104, who has been a rock DJ in NYC since the '70s, mentioned that she was the first NY jock to play Barry Manilow -- on prog-rock WNEW-FM, when his first LP came out -- and that he called her at the time to say "thank you"!

No, I haven't read the NYRMB in ages - too fractious there. But I'll see your TANC and raise you a TANC: I bought tickets for next month's Ting Tings show at Terminal 5 in midtown; they just arrived yesterday. Yay! (As with Nu Shooz in 1987, I have a crush on both of them.)
