Title: 16 Sept 2011: Happy Birthday KFOG
Post by: RGMike on September 15, 2011, 07:52:59 PM
yes, it's a VT of the first 10 years, starting with... you guessed it... "Rock This Town". And on thru 1991. Requests are being taken but I'm not even gonna bother; I'm in a meeting Friday at 10am.

Tho' if the theme is really "10 YEARS OF KFOG" I shudder to think what may turn up. Crowded House, I'm guessing.

AL asked for "your fave FUN tune each year".  It's fun! (Haaaaay!) Especially the whip-crack in the beginning.  Well, not that I would know...er...not my thing really...er...nevermind!

Hrm... maybe I should request "Walk the Dinosaur" for '89...

All she needs to do is watch an A's game-- she'll hear it at least 3 times (whenever Willingham comes up to bat).

ETA: I just turned on the A's game and... guess what??

Oops.. I missed the 'fun' part (but hey, I don't really think of "Rock This Town" as 'fun'). Still, it would be fun to hear "Love Me All Up" and "Lovergirl".

I already forgot the second song. The third is Bruce's "Pink Cadillac". Rather monotonous vocals.

Besides NYD being a great song, did KFOG ever play this song you wanted?
Title: Re: 16 Sept 2011: Happy Birthday KFOG
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on September 16, 2011, 10:23:30 AM
I think that "I'm On Fire" should have been played for '85. That way FB commenters could accurately comment "You're On Fire!"

NYD is a good, but extremely overplayed song that doesn't really belong in a 10@10.  I feel those precious slots should be devoted to something more special.  Besides, AL asked people for "fun" song suggestions.  New Year's Day doesn't exactly scream "party song", IMO.

I'll just say it. DC has really effed up 10@10 by trying to fix something that wasn't broken. It sounds like the other 23 hours of KFOG programming now.

"Shiny Shiny" is not normally played on KFOG, and would have been the perfect '83 entry for this set.

While I agree about 10@10's in general, I think the point of today's set is KFOG-centric, so by definition every song should be a KFOG Katrina, or at least something they played.

He's in the FB names list I sent you.  Might wanna message him via FB if you have access where you're at now.

I love this TFF song.  A masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned (and the first CD single I ever bought.)

Agreed - overplayed as it might be, I never get tired of it. OTOH, the first CD I bought was Phil Collins' "But Seriously", and let's just say it doesn't get much play.

I always assumed it was "fruitCAGE", 'cause he says "show me 'round your..." and I don't know how you would show someone 'round a fruitcake. Unless you were miniature-ized a la Fantastic Voyage. OTOH, I never met anyone who keeps their fruit in a cage.

Awfully glad I missed this (well except for Stan, Sarah and their toast-and-marmaladio); totally agree with urth re: fixing what ain't broke. I'm afraid to read the rave reviews on FB. But birthday cakes are supposed to be "on fire" I guess.

I'll second all of this, except for me I'd swap out 91 with 89.
