CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/24/08

[RGMike]

KPOO's DJ Marilynn is all over the map today: some blues, followed by Floyd Cramer's country piano instrumental "Last Date", followed by "HR Pufnstuf"!  maybe Marilynn's been, er, puffin' stuff!

turns out Judge is sitting in for Marilynn, who went home sick. (From puffin' all that stuff, I guess.)

OMGWTFLOL! Judge plays Rockwell's justifiably forgotten follow-up to "Somebody's Watching Me" -- "Obscene Phone Caller".  Where is he now? 

[RGMike]

and another OMGWTFLOL for another forgotten follow-up: the late great Jermaine Stewart's "Word is Out".

and another OMGWTFLOL for another forgotten follow-up: the late great Jermaine Stewart's "Word is Out".

and now Lisa Lisa's tears are burning up the pillow-- she's "All Cried Out". Judge is really unearthing the lost '80s today.

[RGMike]

this has been Judge's most entertaining hour in ages: Stevie's "Go Home" followed by the MJGs, "In My House". Hope the '80s-fest continues.

[RGMike]

and now the other Jermaine -- Jackson (with help from MJ) -- and his fab "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'", later covered by Robert Palmer.

He's making up for being MIA so much recent weeks, with those substandard interviews and all.

OMFG! Eddie Murphy/Rick James, "Party All the Time".  A better record than it got credit for at the time.

followed by New Edition teaming up with Ray Parker Jr on "Mr Telephone Man". And it's a NE twin-spin: "A Little Bit of Love" is lovely. I am in bubblegum-soul heaven.

[RGMike]

Ha! Judge segs from one dead queen to another: Luther V into Sylvester ('tho from what I hear, it woulda been the other way around).  Do you wanna funk, indeed!

[RGMike]

Hoo Lawd! early Janet Jackson followed by Teena Marie, "Lover Girl". Touche ole!

[RGMike]

New to me: Billy Paul doing a *truly* shameless "Sexual Healing" rip-off called "Sexual Therapy".

[RGMike]

sorry, Judge -- I draw the line at Lionel Ritchie

[Gazoo]

I respectfully disagree.  But I'm with you on the majesty of "Mr. Telephone Man," "In My House," "Lovergirl" (one of the first songs I ever had, um, stirrings to), and "Go Home" (which I actually haven't heard since it was a hit; maybe I should go YouTube it now).

"Obscene Phone Caller" is worth watching on YouTube as well.  Guy was a freak.  And his British accent was even worse than RFTW's.
