CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 7/7/08

CBS-FM is still A2Z-in': We're in the "You're" songs with Queen.  Guess I'll get to hear "Zorba" after all!

And I've gotta assume the "X" song was "Xanadu"...

Poor Allan Sniffen, his head must have exploded.

(I've never heard "Zorba the Greek"!)

CBS-FM's Bob Shannon just played "Wild Weekend", the early-'60s instrumental by the Rockin' Rebels... followed by Fogerty's "Rock'n'Roll Girls" -- OMG, I'd never realized the connection. To say the former "inspired" the latter is putting it mildly!

Listening to Lawn Guyland's WMIR for the first time in a while: Tubes, "Whaddya Want From Life?" followed by "Peaches en Regalia"!

On CG's retro-chart show, from 1983, the utterly laughable  "Wham Rap"

"hey everybody take a look at me
I've got street credibility"

er... NO, George... you don't. Oh, and NEVER rhyme "rap" with "crap" -- that's just asking for it.

Delight of the day: The Belle Starrs, "Sign of the Times", which stiffed in the US, tho' it's easily as good as anything Bananarama did.

KPOO's JJ does a "Lost Soul" feature on Sat nite -- of course, nearly half the songs he plays would qualify, but this feature goes above-and-beyond in the obscurity department.  Tonite it was Carol Douglas' "Doctors Orders" follow-up, "A Hurricane is Comin' Tonite". Def the OMGWTF-of-the-week for me.

And hot on its heels: Arthur Prysock's "When Love is New", a late-'76 attempt to go the Lou Rawls disco-comeback route (the song itself is a shameless "You'll Never Find..." ripoff). He actually scored an R&B Top 10 single with it, tho' he didn't fare too well on the Pop side.

And now it's Consumer Rapport's "Ease On Down The Road", that rare regional hit whose region was NYC: it was Top 3 there, without ever making the national Top 40.

Tonight on Barry Scott's Lost 45s, the Pointer Sisters do the Neutron Dance.  Doubt anyone covered more stylistic ground in their hit singles than the Pointers did.
