AL giggling throughout was cute.

AL giggling throughout was cute.

that's one way to put it.

LOL, AL's going through the songs and she still sounds like she's about to crack up.

[Tinka Cat]

Word to your moms.

I think I get it -- Prop 8 reference?

..  good one!

Annalisa Kfog is really going all over the place today.

AL = Ms. Mix-A-Lot today!

somebody on FB thought House of Pain was Digital Underground.

She just corrected herself, and it was Sir Mix-A-Lot she thought was Digital Underground

I realized a lot of rap "sounds the same" to a lot of (older?) white folks, but Humpty's voice is high and nasal and Sir M's is deep'n'nasty.

Obviously I have to pick "Good Stuff" for BOS, although I'm pleasantly surprised Sir Mix-A-Lot got played too. How edited was the version played?

And obviously I'll have to listen to the replay.

I've got these in the hopper for the appropriate years:


The Message -Grandmaster Flash ('82)
White Lines ('83)
Mentirosa- Mellow Man Ace [and a Santana sample!] (1990)
Just a Friend - Biz Markie (1990)

Uh sure.  (Not really.  I just thought it was a funny thing to throw out there.  Also kind of a Marky Mark thing:  "Say hi to your mother for me.")

10. Sir Mix-a-Lot- Baby Got Back (BOS!!)

2nd time this week that a rap song won BOS -- I'm interested to see if this results in more rap requests honored in '80s/'90s sets, and I'm also curious if there was any kind of pushback via phone or email from rap-hatas complaining to AL. I'm not a fan of gangsta stuff from the '90s onward, but the earlier records that are either funny/clever (like "Bust a Move") or political (like "The Message") would be welcome.
