	9:23pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you for not playing FTONY. I associate it strongly with my horrible ex-husband. Where the hell is this dolphin?

	9:28pm Kat in Chicago: "And a beer... in a tree"
	9:28pm efd: john - good point re Dawnie! That is coming up for sure! SteveL - phew! Bad enough that I let Ken trick me into thinking it was Tuesday for a second this morning.

	11:51pm sweet cheri: happy new year evan, danne & everyone else
	11:52pm Holly in NC: Danne :-) NOSES!
	11:54pm emily: department S i want!
	11:55pm Kat in Chicago: How did I miss this Critics tune? This is sweet.
	11:55pm 12539: Happy Holidays, efd.
	11:55pm Holly in NC: @Kat - Hi & I agree!
	11:55pm efd: Don't get greedy, emily! :) Although I like the idea of playing that as a Christmas song... not unlike how Hova always used to play Blondie's "I'm Always Touched By Your Presence, Dear"
	11:56pm Callie: Happy holidays, Evan! Thanks for a great show! :)
	11:56pm efd: Warmest holiday wishes and the happiest of new years to all of you, commenteers and lurkers alike. Thanks for helping to make this so fun every week.

	11:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the great tunes, Evan.
	12:00am G: FWIW, that Slade was released in the UK as "Merry Xmas Everybody". They always misspelled something in their titles to sound more working class.
	12:02am Kat in Chicago: Hi Holly, Happy Hollydays!
	12:02am Marmalade Kitty: '73 was a good year for christmas tunes.. Merry Funkmas everybody !!!
	12:02am I X Key!: Thanks for a wonderful show, Evan!
	8:48am G: @MK: 73 was the year of the Slade, Wizzard, Elton "Christmas single" competition, which Slade won saleswise. Evan played two of the three on this show. That year's "competition" really raised the cultural profile in the UK of the "Christmas single." Here's wiki on that, with a yearly list back to the early 50s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_Singles_Chart_Christmas_number_ones

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 19, 2012

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Upcoming events:

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!

	11:56pm Callie: Happy holidays, Evan! Thanks for a great show! :)

	12:02am Marmalade Kitty: '73 was a good year for christmas tunes.. Merry Funkmas everybody !!!
	12:02am I X Key!: Thanks for a wonderful show, Evan!
	8:48am G: @MK: 73 was the year of the Slade, Wizzard, Elton "Christmas single" competition, which Slade won saleswise. Evan played two of the three on this show. That year's "competition" really raised the cultural profile in the UK of the "Christmas single." Here's wiki on that, with a yearly list back to the early 50s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_Singles_Chart_Christmas_number_ones
