Or the man who runs the station is taking the day off and his substitute has a different idea of what good music is.

Musical selections that seem out of character
- Thread starter vchimpanzee
- Start date
Now once the man who runs the station came back, the Name That Tune song was "Old Cape Cod".
Vchimpanzee, what station are you listening to and do they have a stream? They sound awesome.
Sounds awesome. I'll have to check it out.
Two experiences this week with a substitute morning DJ (I think it was the same guy all week).
"It's time to play Kenny Chesney." It's NEVER time to play Kenny Chesney on this type of station. Though for a country song, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" sounds good.
War! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, of course.
I'm looking forward to next week. Maybe the outages and the automation going out and Mike Huckabee being not only early but the wrong broadcast will be over with.

"You're No Good".
This was the "Name That tune" song but, unfortunately, it was also the first song of the six-pack. Those are all supposed to be listener requests and some days the Name That Tune song doesn't get heard in its entirety.
The previous day "The Good Ship Lollipop" the last song before Mike Huckabee, whose three-minute Paul Harvey type rant, er, commentary, is followed by a commercial break and any announcements about who won what and then the six-pack.
The last time I heard a "standards" station trying to have that much variety I emailed them and put "chimpanzee" on the subject line. Okay, it was a typo. I put "vchimpanzee" on the subject line. Four years later I got my first email address and the rest is history. I couldn't figure out how to do this on the first service I tried to sign up for, actually, so my real first email address, which was to be used for business purposes, has my real name in it. So this was my second email address.

What makes you think it was intended to be patriotic? It comes closest to being a "protest" song, popular while the Vietnam War was going on. The story of a poor boy being drafted and sent to fight in a war he had no idea about and killing people who had not harmed him. And when he got back he was back in the same hell hole he had left.
And I didn't say that was the intention. But the times that people play it, on the radio or in other situations, indicate they didn't bother to listen to the lyrics and think it sounds patriotic.
And now for today: "Memory" by Barbra Streisand. "I've Got the World on a String" by Steve Tyrell for those not running commercials. "Ride Like the Wind" in between. HUH??? At least Jeff Rollins started talking during the nasty guitar solo at the end.
No, I don't want candy.
Why do the substitute DJs on the morning show think they can play different music? Apparently no one complains. At least when he said they were going to news, the wrong button was pushed or the right button wn't pushed and we got two bonus songs from Jeff Rollins. Good stuff!

"She Loves You" on the morning show, when requested songs were played. I still take the position The Beatles were what parents thought they were in 1964. The fact that I have become accustomed to their slower songs through repeated airplay doesn't change that.
"The House of the Rising Sun"? Must be a game coming up. Some good stuff including "El Paso" followed.

And what was that position?
They were no-talent mop tops who yelled, "yeah yeah yeah". Sorry, you asked.
The slower material refutes this but that's not what Ed Sullivan showed that night.
I'm reminded of a joke I read. Justin Bieber and Keith Richards met. Now what was a washed-up has-been doing with Keith Richards?
I was in a restaurant yesterday which was playing "Strawberry Fields Forever". I couldn't hear that too clearly but I don't recall liking it. But the instumentals brought back fond memories of Hollyridge Strings (optional commercial breaks on Timeless Classics). Hey, I can provide a Youtube link for them. I forget where I got it but I saved it on another site.

Edit: I should probably explain optional commercial breaks. Most of the satellite formats provide stations with time to air commercials or news. Some provide commercials to air during some of those breaks, and some provide music when commercials are optional.

LOL! Every older generation has hated what their kids were into.
Yeah, but I wasn't even three years old when they were on Ed's show.

Lol!
I just remembered. "Wildfire" was also played after "House of the Rising Sun".
I just don't understand your entire outlook on life, in general. You are apparently eight years younger than I am but make statements that I haven't heard people, who are old enough to be my grandparents, make in at least 45 years! My parents, who are/were old enough to be my grandparents, never talked that way, but others their age did. I never heard anyone merely old enough to be my parent, say anything like that. It's as if I've entered the Twilight Zone! I'm not trying to be offensive or anything. Where does this come from?

I'm curious about that as well.
Welcome to Musical Dad-Land. ("You kids call that $#!+ music?!!") Here's your Jim Nabors 8-track tape. Enjoy.
PS: My grandmother, who was 65 when the Beatles hit it big, just loved their songs and their style. She was "hipper" than anyone around here!
