Courtesy of AT&T, or whatever they're called now.

Incidentally I've been watching SNL Season 5 online, which is appropriate for this set.

wow, is the stream nearly 2 mins behind the radio?

JJ sells some Taco Bell to start -- BOS "One More Time".  (AL sez "one of the best debut alums of all time!")

Apparently so - I'm doing this from the comfort from home, where I'm listening to 10@10 on this old-fashioned device called a radio. Advice: If you want to lose 5 pounds over Thanksgiving Weekend, get the flu! And it will keep you away from the crowds.

It's cruel to Katrina -- esp on a Moday morning.  But I'm hoping this is another of AL's New Wave-centric '79 sets

Was that Steve Martin?

Speaking of SNL - Rickie Lee Jones performed this song on the show during Season 4. Is this the first time it's been played on 10@10?

Yup, from The Jerk, I do believe.  But you need to install some analog delay in your posts, since your message showed up in the middle of Cruel to Be Kind, for me.

"Chuck E." still sounds great to me.  HM for the very silly "Fins".  I wonder if this is Huey Lewis on the harmonica.  This could be a Huey song.

Hard to give JJ a BOS for that Taco Bell ad, but I'm gonna anyway, if only because of Annalisa's comment about "one of the best debut albums of all time."

and a WOS, even though y'all know I loves my Buffett, to my least favorite song in his catalog.

"She feels like a remora" -- one of the more obscure references ever to make the Top 40.

I assume you know the actual line is "Life's an illusion, love is a dream". I never heard it as anything else, and I'm usually Mr Mondegreen.

Why don't you get back into bed?
Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)

Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domineker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing small pox

Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)
Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)
Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)
Reasons to be cheerful - 1, 2, 3

Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)

Health service glasses, gigolos and brassies
Round or skinny bottoms

Take your mum to Paris, lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris
Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico


Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)

Yes, yes, dear, dear, perhaps next year
Or maybe even now

This caught my ear, too.  Nice job.
