I came across Woggle's website by mistake and while scrolling down, saw this:
That's a blurb from Ross Britain's section of the site. Recently I thought about adding 98.1 to my presets again, but now I'm glad I didn't. The only thing remotely interesting left on the station IMHO is "The Lost 45." The only problem with that is that it's usually a Top Ten hit...so it becomes a moot point.
So now, the only time an "Oh Wow" record can be played, it must fall into the "terrible song" criteria. If I only one chance per week of playing a tune from "off of the wall" instead of playing a song from "The Safe 200," I would make sure that the tune was a gem. The song would be so great that it would keep the listeners by the radio until the following week just in case it was played again by accident. There are enough of those types of records available.
But not at WOGL. Nope. The "Song of the Week" by definition must suck, or it doesn't get airplay.
Morris Albert? Come on guys. The only record he's known for by the masses is "Feelings." So let's see. The upcoming "Song of the Week" may indeed be "Feelings." It probably will be since not only does it meet the criteria, but it was also a Top Ten tune. Other hits of his included, She's My Girl, Conversation, Woman, and Memories to name a few. It will be interesting to see if Woggle has the guts to play one of these since none of the preceding made it close to the Top 40.
Albert was a Brazilian Singer/ Songwriter. If they want to play something unusual from a Brazilian Singer, they should play something like "The Fool On The Hill" by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. It was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon and recorded by The Beatles, but the version that charted was by Mendes in '68.
Other hits of theirs included The Look Of Love, Pretty World, Scarborough Fair, but you may remember the vocalist Lani Hall who fronted Brasil '66 from the James Bond film "Never Say Never Again." She sang the theme song from that film by the same title.
The interesting thing about the Woggle, Morris Albert, Braziliansinger debacle is that Brasil '66 also recorded a tune called One Note Samba which is the vocal version of Herb Alpert's instrumental song called Spanish Flea. ALBERT sounds like ALPERT. Maybe that's where Britain and the gang got the idea.
It's as good as any other idea I can think of to play something awful on purpose.
