CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 10/6/08
« on: October 06, 2008, 11:24:40 AM »
no idea who it was, but KPOO's DJ Marilynn just played somebody turning the Iggles' "Take it To The Limit" into quite a soulful workout! Lawd have mercy!

ETA: it was Etta James. Shoulda known.

Judge favors us with little-heard MJ: "Burn This Disco Out", a forgotten track from Off the Wall.

Giving new meaning to the phrase "disco fever": a disco version of, well, "Fever"!  Roy Ayres covering the Peggy Lee chestnut.

Bob Shannon's fab "Behind the Hits" on WLNG plays Lulu's "The Boat That I row" (the flip of "To Sir With Love").  Turns out "Boat" -- I never knew this -- was written by Neil Diamond!

"lemme put dis hamburger down... ah don' want no malt... ah wanna DANCE!!"

Archie Bell's lovable "Tighten Up" follow-up "I Just Can't Stop Dancin'" gets an airing from WLNG. "Sho' nuff groovin' now, y'all!"

OMGWTFLOL-of-the-Week! Shannon (aka Marty Wilde, Kim's dad), "Abergavenny", one of my all-time favorite lost hits. Wide Boy Awake did a new-wave cover of this in the early '80s that I've yet to hear.

early Bobby Goldsboro: the catchy "Little Things", not smarmy at all, sorta Neil Diamond-meets-Johnny Rivers. Some country hunk could have a hit with this.

Yikes! WLNG plays the "censored" version of "Brown-Eyed Girl" -- no makin' love in the green grass. Been years since I've heard that.

And it's followed by the 5th Dimension's glorious "Sweet Blindness". Get happy!

There's only one October: first "Monster Mash" sighting of the season on WLNG.

'LNG's on a Bobby Goldsboro kick this week. Today he's "leaving the straight life behind" -- do tell!  Guess that older woman with the mint julep did a lousy job with her two lips...

"stereo" doesn't really rhyme with "Mario", but Cimarron's "Rings" is still a delightful '70s OHW.

Where I grew up, it sure did.  (I have Eye-talian relatives back in the 'Burgh named Mario - a father and son - and everyone pronounced it that way.)

Giving the UK's new Jazz-FM a try today. It's a bit, um, jazzier than that KKSF dentist's-office "jazz".
