KHUM/CG/KPOO/KRSH/KCDX/VIP/LNG etc week of 11/6/06

[RGMike]

wow, a soulful cover of Gary Puckett's "Over You"!

Ooh, who was this?  That's easily Mr. Creepy McCreepy's best song.

no idea, but it was Stylistics/Blue Magic-ish.

[RGMike]

Damn, VIP just played a smokin' '60s-sounding song called "If It Feels Good, Do It" -- turned out it was by Miss Touched By An Angel herself, Della Reese!  I'd've never guessed.

[RGMike]

new to me and wonderful: Lynn Vernado, "Wash and Wear Love"

"You offered me wash'n'wear
I wanted permanent press"

I don't understand that metaphor at all.  Does she offer to hand-wash his delicates?

I wish the entire lyric was available, but it seemed sorta clever to me -- he wants casual, she wants "permanent (press)".

[RGMike]

one of the Persuaders is being interviewed on VIP; he says that "Thin Line Between Love & Hate" was orig called "Still Waters Run Deep" -- but the 4 Tops came out with their "Still Waters" first and they had to go back and change the chorus/title.

[RGMike]

train-wreck segue of the day: from the Osmonds' "One Bad Apple" to Chic, "Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah Yowsah Yowsah)."  I think my head just exploded.

[RGMike]

Susan Cadogan (who??) doing a reggaefied take on Millie Jackson's "Hurts So Good".

and it's followed by Dolly, "Here You Come Again", which still sounds to me like an hommage to Petula Clark's mid-'60s output.

[RGMike]

OMG! it's whinyface Elliman's cover of "Hello Stranger". Most delightful.

OMG! it's whinyface Elliman's cover of "Hello Stranger". Most delightful.

hmm..quite a departure from "hello, old friend."

"A stranger's just a friend you haven't met . . .  STREETCAR!"

[RGMike]

on 'CDX: Dr Hook's "Sexy Eyes" -- I never realized what a BeeGees rip-off this is; "More Than a Woman" and a couple of others.

[RGMike]

just when I thought KCDX's selections were turning pedestrian, we get 3 obscure gems in a row:

James, Tommy and The Shondells - Gotta Get Back To You
Albert Hammond - The Free Electric Band
The Animals - White Houses

Thank your stars they didn't play "Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk."

[RGMike]

closing out my 'CDX-ing with Ms Ronstadt's stellar cover of Dusty's "Silver Threads & Golden Needles."

ETA: spoke too soon... stuck around to hear Alice Cooper's GREAT "Be My Lover", with a melody half-copped from Lou Reed.
