Title: Listening to the Bone...
Post by: Lightnin' Rod on November 19, 2007, 12:07:36 PM
So, I'm trying to get on the Bone Payroll again, so I actually have to listen to the bone all day.  Today, Steven Seaweed is doing a whistling theme for the lunch hour.  

Starting off with GnR, Patience.

Predicting Hocus Pocus to come.

Song 2 -- Winds of Change, Scorps

ETA:  According to Steven, the biggest selling song ever in Germany.  Must be David Hasselhof's cover...  :wink:

I can't remember if the song directly referenced the tumbling of the Wall, but the video certainly did.

They apparently wrote the song while visiting Moscow (hence the opening lines) in mid 1989, with Glasnost in the air, so it was originally about Russia more than Germany.  The Wall came down on Nov 9th* that year, and the album was released later in 1990.  

*Numerology note: interesting that the two most important, world-changing dates in our lifetimes are 11/9 and 9/11

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

Lamont and Tonelli (and Sully) are doing their drunk driving show this morning.  Surprisingly entertaining, especially when they're messing with the traffic girl.

But Sully's no Johnny Fever.

"their drunk driving show"?  What does this entail?

it's gotta be better than "Mammaries Monday", "Titties Tuesday" or "Fart-Lighting Friday".

Actually, should be anti-drunk driving show.  The on air crew are drinking heavily, and getting breathalizer tests on some kind of regular schedule (from actual police).  And they tell you not to drink and drive.

In the classic WKRP episode, they had Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap (and maybe others) doing the same thing, except they also had reflex testing.  The joke was that Johnny got better the drunker he got, where everyone else got worse.

That's "Ta-Ta" Tuesdays.  And I'm not proud that I know that.

Fart Lighting Fridays -- lol.

Seriously sounds like a stunt they'd have Sully do. May have already been done.

So it appears that Monday's the Weedman does a theme set for lunch.  Last week was the whistling, this week it's -- Bob.  Just Bob.  Boneheads calling in and suggesting songs that somehow relate to Bob.

Nothing too surprising (or entertaining) yet:

Bob Seger, "Old Time Rock N Roll"
Janis, "Me and Bobby McGee"
Credence, "Proud Mary" (because, when you are in a River Boat, um, and there are waves, you bob up and down.  Some people are too "clever" for their own good)

Thorogood, "Get a Hair Cut and Get a Real Job"  (like your brother Bob)

Bob Dylan, "Mr. Tambourine Man"

How about EJ, "Phila. Freedom": when he's knee-high to a man, he bobs up and down.

Robert "Bob" Plant, "Tall Cool One"
The Beatles (Yay), "Rocky Racoon" (suggested by a Bonehead named Bob?)
Led Zep -- "When the Levee Breaks" (back to Percy)

Seriously Weedman, you gotta have some rules...

I've stopped listening to the bone again.  The contest is still going on, but the possibility $100 an hour isn't enough to make me listen to "Freebird"  every damn day. >:(

The Bone did a top 107 party songs. A lot of them aren't really party songs but they did play a couple songs that they normally wouldn't. The Champs "Tequila", Wild Cherry "Play that Funky Music" and Kingsmen "Louie Louie" were played. These songs were supposedly selected by listeners. Number one was AC/DC "You Shook Me all Night Long"

Weird screw-up on the Bone last nite. They started Little Steven's show with the 2nd segment, no intro or theme. Then they re-ran a segment from last week's show, then went back to this week's. We never did hear the opening segment.

And the Bone is running commercials for... Kaboom!  No mention of KFOG, of course, just the artists and the fact that there will be fireworks "set to a rock soundtrack" (not "world class rock", just "rock").  Did they do this last year? Are tix selling that badly? That's what happens when you raise the price by 50% in a recession, Cumulus.
