LNG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/7/11

[RGMike]

JJ plays the Fuzz... **WHICH MEANS**  "I Love You For All Seasons"!

Followed by the NTM "Take a Chance on a Sure Thing", by Tempts-soundalikes Swiss Movement.

Lyric of the day:

"I'm the dope
You left without hope
Crying tears
Big as canteloupes"

NTM, from a very young Richard "Dimples" Fields (!) 

And now Mary Wells beats us to the

[RGMike]

OMGWTFLOL of the Week: Ananda Shankar (one of Ravi's kids, I'm guessing) doing a sitar instrumental version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash"!

[RGMike]

Scelsa closes this week's show with a salute to unions! Whatta guy! The Strawbs, Pete Seeger, "I Dreamed I saw Joe Hill", "Solidarity Forever"...

Awesome.

Listening to Flower Power Radio (one of the iTunes Oldies radio stations), and they're playing a song called "Rupert" (Rupert, Rupert the Bear...) by Jackie Lee. I've never heard it before, but it sounds silly enough to have been a pop favorite long ago...

[princessofcairo]

And now it's 10cc's "I'm Mandy Fly Me." Another one I'd never heard before.

And now it's 10cc's "I'm Mandy Fly Me." Another one I'd never heard before.

I *LOVE* that song -- one of their non-hits in the US. "Just like the girl... in Dr No, No, No, No..."

[RGMike]

Treat of the morning, on Easy 93.3: Ms Ronstadt's lovely cover of "Oooh Baby baby".

[RGMike]

oo! Candi Staten Island's faboo cover of "Suspicious Minds" -- I am majorly bummed that it's not on the otherwise stellar Staton anthol I bought recently.

[RGMike]

Surprise of the Day: Chaka Khan covering F.Mac's "Everywhere", quite nicely -- no idea when she did this, but NTM.

[RGMike]

Tuned in to KCDX -- there is actually a Klaatu song called "The Anus of Uranus"       

[Tinka Cat]

pronounced "anise of YER-innus?"

 My first thought was "do Beavis & Butthead know about this??"

[RGMike]

a mellow afternoon of "Easy 93" brings the Gloria Loring/Carl Anderson duet "Friends & Lovers", which I surely haven't heard since it was a hit.  Proxy of cairo.

And now Ms Rubina Flake prays that Don McLean will finish. Girl, he can't be *that* bad.

and speaking of duets: Babs 'n' Barry ask the musical question "What Kind Of Fool?" -- another one i haven't heard in ages.

and another pairing: surrounded by Spinners, Dionne W has that urge to feel me. Hands off mah coke, bitch!

lawd, it's Duet Day! Tale as old as time, "Beauty & the Beast". Celine at her most-bearable, reined in by Peabo.

More gobsmacking still: Gordon Lightfoot's lovely shoulda-been, "Beautiful". How was this not a hit?

Damn, Madonna's "Take a Bow" sounds really nice this afternoon. Have I turned into a soccer mom? And yikes, here's Ronnie Milsap's "Lost in the Fifties" --I was always amused by the fact that country music discovered '50s nostalgia just as the pop charts started reliving the '60s.

This duets thing is getting outta hand: Cocker & Warnes earlier and now the dreaded Mike Reno/Ann Wilson "Almost Paradise" Like, gag me! Totally!

Christ on a cracker! With Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard's "Can't We Try" I have offically reached my duet limit for the day/week/month.
