Dave B:

So, Meghan - what songs were you happy to omit?
  6:31am
Meghan:

I was happy to not even consider Don't Worry, Be Happy! At the height of that song I was in the carribean and it was everywhere. I hate that song from that experience alone.... Every shirt, every radio was playing it.....
  6:33am
Dave B:

ha ha!

Now I'll have that whistling part in my head all day!
  6:35am

here, in belgrade, we have this really cool jazz/fusion musician called Rambo Amadeus. His cover of infamous song is called "Don't Happy, Be Worry!"
  6:36am
Meghan:

With a name like Rambo Amadeus..... I would have to hear that!
  6:37am

I like to deal with snow :))
  6:52am
Dave B:

Hey - re: The Golden Fest... 'FMU post states 15th and 16th, but if you follow the link to the fest page it states the 14th and 15th....
  6:53am
Meghan:

Yes, it's the 14th and 15th...... I'll let someone know about that mistake!

  6:58am
Meghan:

There he is! Hope you got to hear the Replacements!
  7:00am
Elwyn:

Missed it barely. :-(

Wow. I own the last three songs.
  7:02am
Dave B:

I'd guess Balkan Beat Box would/might show too. They are Brooklyn locals...

Hey Elwyn!
  7:03am
Meghan:

They definitely might! It's one of those kind of events where people show up and jam with who ever is on stage. Seriously, it's a must go!
  7:05am
Dave B:

Done. Friday for me though. Have a show to catch in R.I. on Saturday
  7:08am

  7:14am
Meghan:

Happy Morning Eric!
  7:14am
Dave B:

@Elwyn - Like Charles Nelson Riley, Rip Taylor and Paul Lynde?
  7:15am
Dave B:

neverrmind - they're fruity celebrities
  7:17am
Meghan:

*giggles* silly Dave...... How come I only get cheesy '70's shows for fruity celebrities.... or '70's game shows.....
  7:18am
Elwyn:

@Andy: I heard Dave likes Dick. ;-)

@Dave: Onlu A-grade celebrities and B-graders that Phil Spector shot.
  7:19am
Andy in Berlin:

@ Meghan - that's what you get for playing The Partridge Family
  7:19am
Andy in Berlin:

@ Elwyn - you don't have to like dick to like Dick
  7:20am
Dave B:

Dick Nixon before he dicks you....

And this Altered Images songs sends me back...
  7:21am
Meghan:

@ Andy- I know.... it is isn't it.....

@ Dave- Yep, that song always makes me instantly happy
  7:22am

@Elwyn- think that is one of the reasons why I will always be a feisty faker!
  7:45am

Dave B:

Well, there are no Rush songs that I'm aware of that have Happy in the title...
  8:41am
jeff p:

@Dave B: if there was ever a chance of getting a Rush song played it was last week - perfect theme, no words, short song
  8:42am
Andrew:

Happiness Is a Warm Gun? Does "happiness" count as "happy"?
  8:42am
Meghan:

OH! MY Jeff said that even though he is a Rush fan, he agrees with me NOT playing that song. Nowhere do they mention the year, and since that was the theme.....
  8:43am
schizflow:

this sounds like the turntable is playing at varying speed
  8:43am
Meghan:

Used Happiness is a Warm Gun for the gun theme......
  8:44am
Andrew:

Oops.
  8:44am
jeff p:

the year was in the title, tho, which, iirc, was the only requirement.

I shall speak of this no more. It is in the past. Another Rush possibility will rear its head....
  8:44am
Andy in Berlin:

@Andrew - I forgot too
  8:45am
Dave B:

@Jeff P / Meghan - maybe if ever you do a Covers show, or a Guilty Pleasures show we can squash the Rush bug once and for all....
  8:46am
jeff p:

Mindless Self Indulgence's version of "Tom Sawyer"?
  8:46am

Actually, I listened to all the songs to make sure they have the year in them..... I was picky on that one!

  8:51am
Meghan:

Hmmmmm, and to think I do this show all by myself...... No producer or encyclopedia to be there for me......
  8:52am
Dave B:

HAHA
The math question on the last one was 211+2

Coincidence?
  8:54am
