AL has been out-doing Dave with '60s sets, I daresay. But lo, she begins with a Moreytrina: "Do It Again".

For those who are interested, the AV Club has an interesting article about the 17 Weirdest Songs by the Beach Boys.

Ok, this might not be as on point as I'd first thought, but what would be the record for shortest 10@10? Longest? Has it ever gone past 11?

My initial guesses would be:

1) The 60's Soul Patrol sets are pretty short
2) The "Earth Day" 10@10 with a guest host at least approached a full hour.

Very Fifth-Dimension-esque coda on this version that I've never heard before.

VHM John Fred and his Playboy Band.
Let's get right to it.

BOS for "Judy in Disguise".  Awfully silly, but haven't heard it in a while.

I'll have to check this out.

VHM to Spanky & Our Gang, a former 3WS staple.

dunno its status in the shraytabase, but it is easily one of the 4 or 5 most-overplayed oldies evah -- right up there with "Brown-Eyed Girl" and "Happy Together"
