Listener comments!

  9:06am #1!:

I'm number 1! :-)
  9:19am Paul Sherratt:

#1,

That's how the late British crooner, Frankie Vaughan got his name.
  9:20am spaniel:

good morning everyone!

you're waking up me and my neighbors again Doug.
  9:21am Listener Dave from NH:

This track's gorgeous.
Is it wrong for me to be chuckling at the show's title? I can't tell if it's sacrilege or what.
  9:31am Lost Soul:

We're all going to h e double toothpicks for laughing at that! But it'll be fun.
  9:42am Eric:

Man, this piano is awesome! Thank you Doug!

And, also, "God's Cheney" is a classic. Better than what my friend calls him "Darth Pope".
  9:46am Dickdong (UK):

<Is it wrong for me to be chuckling at the show's title?>
It depends if you believe all that god stuff and fervently wish to be laden with guilt for the rest of your life.
  9:47am jonathan:

was that popeye before the cartoons?
  10:02am Cecile:

Aw, I missed Josephine Baker.
  10:04am Hugo:

If Joseph Ratzinger is God's Cheney, then who is God's Bush, I wonder?
  10:05am Elias:

Billy Costello was the original voice of Popeye. I think he was for an appreciable amount of time. Expert I ain't, but Danny Stiles plays Billy Costello's version of Popeye the Sailor Man often, and it's amazing!
  10:06am Cecile:

As much as Benedict bugs me, I must say it is commendable he is meeting with abuse victims. That's something JP II didn't manage.
  10:13am Cecile:

You can't be crabby when the blues is playing. Paradoxical, isn't it?
  10:30am Paul Sherratt:

Hugo,

God's Bush ? Burning question that .. now did that Johnny Preston make anyone think of Ronnie Dawson's " Action Packed " ?

Also, has " Father Ted " reached the US ?
  10:33am north guinea hills:

i've only seen father ted on dvd, occationally on public television, but then again, i don't even have basic cable. i love father ted! 'tis a shame he went up and died on us.
  10:34am insect:

god would be bush in this equation
  10:36am Cecile:

Father Ted shows up on the BBCA sometimes, and also some PBS stations.
  10:37am DC pat:

Yeah Hasil!! One of my favorite tunes ever!
  10:37am spaniel:

i think i have a new favorite song (no more hot dogs).

in the genre of decapitation songs.
  10:41am Cecile:

We need an all decapitation theme show.
  10:42am pat:

That would include TV Set by the Cramps.
  10:42am Dickdong:

<god would be bush in this equation>
I suppose that would be god the son as opposed to god the father or god the holy ghost. Jesus!?
  10:44am Paul Sherratt:

Cecile,

BBCA ? Gosh, it wasn't a BBC programme over here - it was broadcast by C4, a commercial station.

I got in to a little trouble on April 1, a couple of years when I wrote on a BBC News message board, that I'd just learned that Pope Benedict XV was dead ...
  10:45am Carmichael:

Good morning all.

It's always about who I missed before I get to work. Guitar Slim, Johnny Copeland and Hasil Adkins! I'm gonna need to apply myself to my job a little better.
  10:45am Cecile:

I'm sorry, Paul. BBCA is BBC America, which is really sort of British Television catchall network over here in the States.

Re: decaptitation - Heads Will Roll by Echo and the Bunnymen...
  10:46am DC Pat:

Henry the 8th by Herman's Hermits
  10:48am Paul Sherratt:

Cecile,

British Television catchall , ah I see, a kind of repeater station ..
  10:49am Matt:

Country Funk sounds so perfect on a sunny New York day.
  10:52am Irwin Chusid:

"Cut and Come Again" [sic] - there's a great version of this by Del Shannon. Might be in the mp3 library.
  10:57am Lou:

Been trying to get my 7 year old into Would You Believe...he loves that particular song.
  10:59am g:

David Axelrod didn't have anything to do with Ollinga, did he?
  10:59am Carmichael:

Wasn't there a song called "The Water Was Red" back in the '60s, about a guy's gal who was eaten by a shark?!?
  11:01am Cecile:

I don't know, but it sounds awesome
  11:04am Hugo:

Decapitation? The Gift by the Velvet Underground?
  11:07am Carmichael:

Ha, found it!! Good ol' Johnny Cymbal, no wonder I remember it.

I second your idea, Cecile. 3 hours of death!
  11:09am Elias:

No decapitation set would be complete without Some Heads Are Gonna Roll by Judas Priest.
  11:11am Carmichael:

Or "Pizza Pie" from National Lampoon's Lemmings.
  11:12am Cecile:

Good one Elias!
  11:13am DC pat:

Wait, the Gift isn't about decapitation is it? Oswald sends himself in a box and gets a scissors stuck in his head. I'm afraid that doesn't qualify...
  11:13am IntangibleArts:

Holy Pope Giblets, batman, this Leon Thomas vocal is everything I ever wanted outta life....
  11:15am Cecile:

We could expand the theme to "head injuries" and include, "ain't that a kick in the head...."
  11:16am Toby:

I LOVE Leon! Saw him w/Pharoah in '74.
  11:17am Matt:

In that case, would "I'm no sicko, there's a plate in my head" by the Oblivians count?
  11:17am Cecile:

Absolutely.

And Plate in My Head from the Didjits
  11:22am Carmichael:

Do they have to be tragic accidents? I know a good number of homicide tunes. Mostly guys killing their woman because she ain't doin' him right.
  11:23am Sean Daily:

Like this Stanley Conwell.
  11:24am Carmichael:

I'm definitely gonna go score me some Leon. Now I'm into yodeling, BIG time. Move over, Sons of the Pioneers.
  11:25am Cecile:

I will leave our host to make that call.
  11:25am Carmichael:

Look, I love a good tragic accident as much as the next guy. I'm just sayin' ....
  11:26am Dickdong:

The Gift. It's the schmuck Waldo who parcels himself off to his lady love only to have the scissors plunged fairly and squarely into his skull. More amateur trapanning than decapitation.
  11:27am Carmichael:

She turns the tables on him. Now we're talkin ..
  11:29am Paul Sherratt:

The Baptist Generals " 2/3rds Jim's Head " I seem to remember that being headless song.
  11:31am GUMBY:

Just outstanding music, as always Doug, wish I could delay this meeting I have a half hour.
  11:33am Cecile:

Can you pause your Windows Media player, Gumby?
