Judge has been in a disco groove much of the afternoon. And things top out (so to speak) with Sylvester dancin' the beat in the disco heat.

NTM: The Stylistics, "Fly", one of their rare non-ballads, in which they almost pull off rhyming "seagull" with "eagle".
-
OMFG! the orig Eddy Grant version of "Walking on Sunshine" (NOT the Katrina song).
-
JJ on KPOO plays the Emperors, "Do the Karate" -- which was later rewritten as Santana's "Everybody's Everything"! check it out:

Bob Shannon just played '80s nugget "Waiting for a Star to Fall" -- one of Paul Sidney's personal faves, and a song turned down by both Whitney Houston and Belinda Carlisle!
-
can't believe I'm saying this, but "Hold On" by Wilson-Phillips sounds real good to me this morning.
(Bob Shannon played it because Carnie Wilson is hosting the new incarnation of ... wait for it... The Newlywed Game. Sheesh.)

LadyCliff's "Miss You Nights" is quite lovely, and shoulda been bigger in the US -- I recall segueing this with ED&JFC's "Nights are Forever" more than once.
-
NTM: Stay-tus Quo seem to be ripping off ZZ Top with "Rain" (NOT the Beatles song).
-
2nd non-ballad Stylistics hit of the week: "Funky Weekend", another UK smash that did nothing stateside.
Followed by one of Marmalade's many Brit hits: "Falling Apart at the Seams"
-
proxy of Geoff: Yvonne fair: "It Should Have Been me" -- great song, and one of the great unknown pull-out-all-the-stops vocal perfs. And the host of the show rightly asked: How come no one's ever done a cover version?
-
another NTM UK-only hit: Gallagher & Lyle, "I Wanna Stay With You".
-
WTF? a group called Guys & Dolls doing a cover of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" that's even more karaoke-awful than Elvis's! Good lord those wacky Brits will buy anything.
-
wow -- Brotherhood of Man, "Save Your Kisses For Me", a UK #1 (and Eurovision winner) that got screwed in the US because Bobby Vinton rushed out a competing cover version.
-
CW and his (chartreuse) VW arrive to save the day!

a delightful discovery:
http://www.kyaradio.com/
an on-line recreation of Top 40 KYA from the '60s complete with jingles and vintage commercials -- "Top Of the Hill, Daly City!" Quite enjoyable.

and one of the first songs I'm hearing is a Beatles uber-rarity: "Tell Me What You See"... followed by San Jose's own People, "I Love You"

Wow, TANC - I had this stuck in my head yesterday and it was the first song I played when I left my apt!

they just played a vintage commercial for LedZep and Isaac Hayes (yes, together!) at The Fillmore (or maybe it was Winterland). Amazing.
-
The Brothers Gibb have a "Holiday"; Foster Sylvers (without brothers or sisters) commits a "Misdemeanor".

I really dig these old commercials. Did you pickup on the price for Zep at Winterland? $3.50!

indeed -- Summer of 1970 I saw Van Morrrison and the Byrds (Byrds opened) in Central Park and the "expensive" floor seats were $2.50 and we thought that was a lot! (Bleachers were a buck-and-a-half).
-
'LNG plays the 5-D's version of "California Soul" -- lovely, even tho' the Marvin'n'Tammy version has more, um, soul.
-
Whitefront (?) Records commercial on the KYA stream -- featuring "Spanky and Our gang's Greatest Hits". LOL!
-
OMGWTFLOL of the Decade: 'LNG plays Muhammad Ali (when he was still Cassius Clay) doing his cover of "Stand By Me". And it ain't half bad!
-
on the KYA simulation: Joe South's fabulous (and still powerful) "Games People Play". What a great lyric.
-
Brenton Wood is "feelin down, wearin' a frownd" Where'd that extra "d" come from?
-
TANC-of-the-Week: 'LNG gives Neil D's "Kentucky Woman" its 2nd appearance today.
-
It's Little Steven's annual Tax Day show! Monty Python's "Money Song" and Spinal Tap's "Gimme Some Money" have made my week, and -- rarity of rarities -- the Stones' version of "Money" (one of those rare songs recorded by both the Stones and the Beatles).
