Not sure what the soundbite in between was tho--it had a vaguely Mel Brooks tone to it.

His original The Producers (the movie, natch)


I was hoping we get to hear a snippet of "Now You're Doing The French Mistake" from Blazing Saddles.

Let's Get 'Em Girls!!

Hey, just occurred to me, what about Dire Straits "Les Boys"?

Do a little S&M...it's all in fun now

Ah, Tattooed Love Boys--of course! A natural.


How many of these songs were from 80-81? I know the Townshend & Devo were both 80, as was the Pretenders, and the Stones was 81. What's the vintage on the Squeeze tune? Quick, to Allmusic!

ETA: the Squeeze tune was 78, from their first album.

BOS to Depeche Mode, if only because this is a typically lackluster set & Dave doesn't play enough DM.  You'd think he'd like their initials.


I just said this on Wednesday.  Just like the Spanish Inquisition, I didn't expect "Master & Servant" to be the next Depeche Mode song we'd hear.

p.s. to Urth, this is from '84, iirc.

And Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Ian Dury. I had thought of S&D&R&R, don't know why this didn't occur to me as well.

And Pat Benatar, Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Probably the least necessary song of the set.

Thanks for thinking of me in regards to those comics for sale, Ali. I do enjoy them- but I don't really collect them anymore.

Just back from mtg -- sounds like it was pretty damn good, even without most of our suggestions (I did email my list to Dave, and "Rough Boys" was the most obvious one).  No "Warm Leatherette"?

Sticking around for the boner, er, I mean bonus track. Then on to CGSS.

ETA: I love that Dave played South Park clips. Mr Slave rules.

Bonus track: "Wipping Post", har har.

Wow, I missed quite a party, didn't I?

First, some self-indulgence: This piece has gone live:
http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0539,mccombs,68183,22.html

Now, for the set.  Damn, nice choices.  If I'd been guessing, or making requests, I would've taken a more libertine, less leather-and-slave, look at Folsom (by the time I attended for the first time, that's the vibe I got from it), and gone with Berlin's "Sex (I'm a ...)" (best song about roleplay ever) and Velvet Underground, "Venus in Furs" (I'm surprised none of you mentioned it).

You know, I was thinking that too.  I went once, ten year or so ago, and though there was heavy leather going on, I thought the set leaned a little too heavily on the BSDM theme.  It's the most obvious aspect, the most in your face, but the overall feeling I got was that people were being free, being who they were, indulging in their fantasies, whatever they were.  I liked that, though their fantasies didn't exactly match mine.  Plus, there was music.

"Uh-oh, this could mean trouble . . ."

I don't think I've ever heard that soundbite from Don before!  Has Dave used it before, or does he get DP to record new material?
