Holy Rolly! DJ Marilynn plays Ike & Tina's take on "Come Together".  Tina's mondegreens are better than John's real lyrics.

Steven's show this week was his annual salute to the Ramones. Fabulous.

Kim Weston: just a plain ol' ordinary (overweight) girl, "Lookin' For The Right Guy".

forgotten Neil Diamond: "Walk on Water" -- Neil was as infatuated with African rhythms as Paul Simon, but didn't get nearly the credit/respect.

A fab flashback on the KYA simulation: the Isley Bros rarely-heard version of "Take Me In your Arms (Rock Me)"

Followed by that totally psychedelic Vanilla Fudge Coke commercial.

another KYA rarity: the orig studio version of Procol Harum's "Conquistador" -- I've maybe heard this once before in the past 35 years.

And it's followed by the GrassRoots' little-heard "Midnight Confessions" soundalike, "Lovin' Things".

One of the best "socially conscious" lyrics of the '60s (which is saying something): Ray Stevens' "Mr Businessman".

NTM.  Not one of their best.  But at least the 5Ds make better sport of it than what I presume to be the film version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp8vydLWGJk).

I've never seen the film -- one of the big Oscar-bait gambits of that year, and the critics just savaged it. Liv Ullman and Peter Finch sing!

obviously, WLNG is where I go to hear the unexpected, but I truly wasn't expecting Ms Baez's "Diamonds & Rust". A fabulous treat.

Have you ever heard Judas Priest's cover?  Halford can sing his ass off, but man does he misread and massacre that one.

He sings his ass off with his ass hanging out, usually. Does he think it's about leather chaps studded with diamonds and rusty metal? :o

JJ on KPOO plays Peter Brown's "Dance With Me" and says Betty Wright is singing backup -- a bit o' trivia that's NTM.

Also NTM: Natalie Cole goes disco on "Party Lights" (NOT the Claudine Clark hit) from late '77.  But the Blackbyrds' "Happy Music" is an unjustly forgotten hit from '76 that actually made the Pop Top 20.

JJ makes it very difficult to go to bed early on Sat nite.

LAWD! Etta James covering "You Can Leave Your Hat On" in 1974 -- a dozen years before Joe Cocker tried it.
