'LNG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 6/14/10

[RGMike]

yeah, the "week of 5/31" thread ended up lasting 2 weeks. ooops.

[RGMike]

Judge doing his usual '80s Monday thang, and I'm especially delighted to hear DeBarge's lovely "Time Will Reveal" -- it's been years.

[RGMike]

NTM from JJ: Shorty Long's cover of "Chantilly Lace", which is nowhere near as annoying as the original. Me likey.

[RGMike]

'LNG plays a classic Coke commercial with Lulu that was NTM and follows it with her version of "Morning Dew"!

[RGMike]

OMGWTF segue on Radio de Sebb: from "A Night in NY" by Elbow Bones & the Racketeers (stylish early-'80s disco, not unlike Odyssey's "Native NY'er" or the Dr Buzzard and Kid Creole stuff) to KISS' "I Was Made For Lovin' You".  lawd have mercy.

[RGMike]

NTM on Radio de Sebb: Tamiko Jones doing her best Diana Ross imitation on a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Creepin'". Nice.

also NTM: First Choice with "Guess What Mary Jones Did?", an "Armed & Dangerous" soundalike that isn't on the FC best-of I have.

[RGMike]

Holy crap -- Radio Sebb is a treasure-trove today. David Porter (Isaac Hayes' longtime songwriting partner) doing a soulful cover of "Help".

and is there another radio station on the planet that plays Mel Brooks' "It's Good to Be the King" on a regular basis? ooh-la-la! C'est magnifique!

And here's Tina's "Typical Male", a #2 smash that you almost never hear these days.

OTOH, Seal's note-for-note cover of "Fly Like an Eagle" is fairly worthless.
