CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 9/1/08

[RGMike]

Listening to the Saturday CGSS: NTM, a reggaefied cover of Blue Magic's "Sideshow" by someone named Barry Biggs.

[RGMike]

Lawd! Greg plays Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl", which is Young-Holt Unltd's "Soulful Strut" with lyrics. Fab in either incarnation. Swingout Sister did a nice late-'80s cover of this too.

Lawd! Greg plays Barbara Acklin's "Am I the Same Girl", which is Young-Holt Unltd's "Soulful Strut" with lyrics. Fab in either incarnation. Swingout Sister did a nice late-'80s cover of this too.

As did Dusty Springfield, who apparently covered 3/5 of everything in the late '60s.

"Cat! We need you to rap!" ('cause Prince can't rap to save his life -- now run and tell yo' mamma 'bout DAT!)

[Gazoo]

"Cat! We need you to rap!" ('cause Prince can't rap to save his life -- now run and tell yo' mamma 'bout DAT!)

Neither could his NPG rapper, Tony Z.

[RGMike]

OMFG! Billy Preston's "That's The way God Planned It" -- an FM staple in the '70s that you NEVER hear any more.

[RGMike]

OMFG2: Hues Corp, "Freedom For the Stallion".

[RGMike]

WTF-of-the-Day: WLNG's Wed morning specialty oldiies show just played ABBA doing "Waterloo" in German!

[RGMike]

WLNG pulling out its usual share of nuggets: Miriam Makeba's great "Pata Pata" and Sopwith Camel's goofy retro-'20s "Hello Hello".

[RGMike]

WLNG plays a Paul Revere rarity: "Ups'n'Downs"

[RGMike]

Highlight of a fine WLNG afternoon:



followed, in true 'LNG fashion, by the Polish Prince himself, "My Melody of Love".

[RGMike]

Holy s--t! The Box Tops, "I Met Her in Church" -- haven't heard this in decades.

[RGMike]

CGSS gets all "todo da bien Chevrolet" on yo' ass.

[RGMike]

More Bohannon for Gaz: everybody do the "Disco Stomp"!

[RGMike]

NTM: a disco-ized cover of Santana's "Jingo" by an outfit called Candido (who?), circa '79/'80.  Musta been a UK club hit, it doesn't seem to have charted.
