Just put the radio on in another room, and it's looping the verse to Ain't Misbehaving. I assume people are already aware of that.

Listener Robert:

It's true. I do like music from the late 1920s & early 1930s, but I hardly ever tune in to Rich Conaty (whom I met at a party almost 35 yrs. ago) any more because WFMU's had such great offerings on Sun. night (incl. Dave Mandl, whom I knew via other company). And if I didn't listen to WFMU at that time, it'd be John Bachelor & his interviews of authors on historic issues. It's a very competitive night for att'n.

I would tend to automatically supply "The" as well, because otherwise they'd sound generic. "By Talking Heads" makes it sound like a description rather than a name attribution. I guess that's what they were after....

Where I would NOT apply "The" would be where it's obvious word play was intended, like Miss Vickie's "People Like Us", so you can say it's "by people like us". (Sorry, I can't help supplying the "Miss" before her name either, just as a little jokey allusion.)

Oddly, the "The" has the reverse effect of making that sound like a description rather than a title, "the Ohio state university". See, I don't even put it in caps with that "the" prefacing it, because it doesn't read like a name.

If you were a pre-teen or a young teen white male during 1967-70, what the Doors mean to you makes whether or not you "like" them kind of irrelevant. It's kind of like asking a white, middle class woman who was 14 or 15 when Tapestry came out whether or not she "likes" it.
