Listener comments!
	3:03pm modchick65: Happy Friday everyone.
	♥ 3:03pm crateslinger: Is it time to dance?
	3:03pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers.
	3:04pm modchick65: My dad had this record when I was a child.
	3:04pm The Contessa: Hello Sheila, hello everyone. USA, you still there? Nice to see you back @modchick
	♥ 3:04pm listener james from westwood: One of the first musicals I heard the soundtrack to as a kid! And most of my friends were in a senior-year production of same. So, hell yes!
	♥ 3:04pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila!
	3:04pm geezerette: well those days are temporarily over. Howdy!
	3:04pm Rob Kopp: Hi Sheila and all.First: if you haven't seen this yet I can recommend this short introduction of The Netherlands: www.youtube.com...
	3:05pm Cliff in Prague: Hello hello
	3:05pm chalmers: In the musical, Anita's counterpoint is a female friend, but I always suspected that they changed it for the movie to give George Chakiris more screen time.
	♥ 3:06pm doctorjazz: Hi!
	3:06pm northguineahills: I saw that Rob, it's amazing, and the sly sarcasm is something that is stereotypically rare on the continent.
	♥ 3:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Filling the room with the Boom Boom!
	3:06pm modchick65: Thanks @TheContessa. I participate when I can. As for the US, we're here but wildly embarrassed. Pardon my blush.
	♥ 3:06pm JtotheK: hi sheilaB, hi fellow boom-boomers.
	3:07pm geezerette: Rspect to Rita Moreno!!! Star!
	♥ 3:07pm psysci: looking forward to getting in my car for some sheila b
	♥ 3:08pm Sem Chumbo: Stellar stuff, with a side order of Boom Boom. Hiya, djsheilaB, and Jets everywhere.
	3:08pm The Contessa: This is so nice!
	3:08pm JakeGould: My mom and dad loved "West Side Story" and lived this song. Thanks Shiela!
	3:09pm Listener Robert: I have the WSS album too, in the garage. Don't know if it's from the movie sound track or recorded in conjunction with the play.
	3:09pm modchick65: I really enjoyed the Kennedy Center Honors with Rita Moreno (same one as Carole King & George Lucas).
	3:09pm Cooh John: Listened to WSS soundtrack as a kid. Still know the lyrics.
	3:09pm djsheilab: Hey gang! Thought "America" would be an appropriate start for this week of insanity.
	3:10pm Carmichael: @Contessa: The US is currently on hold. Your call will be answered in the order it was received. Maybe, maybe not.
	3:11pm Listener Robert: Outside Gilbert & Sullivan, has any number from a musical had its music taken for more later lyrics )mostly parody) than "America"?
	♥ 3:11pm Adrian in London: Evening all. @modchick Don't be embarrassed. Someone in Greece tweeted a photo of a menu in Athens yesterday that had a 'Breggsit' burger on it – burger with eggs. The UK's the laughing stock of Europe. Anyway, nice weather we're having…
	3:11pm modchick65: I think, moving forward, I'm going to come on here every week with the first comment "I'm sorry."
	♥ 3:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Probably a better choice than Styx' "Miss America."
	3:13pm modchick65: A much better choice than Neil Diamond's "America." And I say that as someone who generally loves Neil Diamond.
	3:14pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian. Googled for the picture. That Breggsit burger looks very tasty
	3:14pm djsheilab: I expected things to be bad, but not this bad and so bloody fast! ARGHHHHHH!!!! Well, I'm glad you're all here to so we can take comfort in each other + musique!
	♥ 3:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Not a fan of alternative facts, Sheila? <rolls eyes>
	3:16pm Rob Kopp: Nice Trumpet in that last song
	3:16pm Cliff in Prague: My favorite burger joint here closed :( but they had a fried-egg-&-mushrooms-burger too
	♥ 3:16pm crateslinger: Time to dance. Woo! Friday is over!
	♥ 3:17pm Adrian in London: Bill Callahan's America is a marvellous song, incidentally.
	3:17pm djsheilab: @crateslinger Yes! I shall take inspiration from your cheery spirit!
	3:18pm modchick65: Did anyone go to a march last week? A friend of a friend took the video of MILCK singing that awesome song "Quiet."
	♥ 3:18pm crateslinger: Good idea, SB! It's payday, and it's weekend, and it's Sheila B!
	3:18pm The Contessa: @modchick, my darling husband did while I was ill at home!
	3:19pm modchick65: @TheContessa - Awesome! Thank your husband for me, and I'm sorry you were ill. :( I was in DC. It was pretty great.
	3:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: sheila's show is the best show because it means the weekend is almost here! hi everyone!
	♥ 3:21pm crateslinger: Sheila B is the weekend! Just try and get me to do something Mr. Bossman! I can't hear you! LALALALALALA!
	3:21pm modchick65: @Bronwyn -- Hi! (waves)
	♥ 3:22pm JtotheK: this popcorn comp LP is so so good. recommended!
	3:23pm modchick65: I'm def going to check this out. It's fab!
	♥ 3:23pm JtotheK: the shorty long 'burnt toast and black coffee' is on the comp, i've decided it's unlikely that i'll find the 45 anytime soon.
	3:24pm ?: ya'll should march back to the kitchen, have some tea, and wake up, dont be a tool, the not-so-useful kind, empowering moronic mobs
	3:26pm Jimbo: Trump = Putin's useful idiot
	3:26pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi modchick65!!! :)
	♥ 3:27pm JtotheK: @bronwyn bishop - i've been enjoying your shows via the archive, at some point will catch one as it airs!
	3:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: I was at the Washington DC march by the way! It was an amazing experience except when I almost got crushed to death against a port a potty because there were literally over a million people there (as opposed to the inauguration...)
	3:28pm JakeGould: Nixon is still the worst.
	3:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thanks JtotheK :D
	♥ 3:29pm Stevel: So far, Jake, so far.
	♥ 3:29pm Adrian in London: @modchick Ahem, I'm the husband. It was great, SO many people, and an amazing atmosphere. Apparently he's doing a state visit to the UK. The protests are going to be ENORMOUS!
	3:30pm deepsurface: do not embrace any "leader". hero worship if for fools.
	♥ 3:31pm JtotheK: popcorn, to me (briefly somewhat) - similar to the 'northern soul' description in that numerous genres fall under the umbrella... but popcorn is slower tempo, jazzy... and comes from the JB 'popcorn' album which inspired the club in Belgium...
	3:31pm modchick65: Oh, darling (upthread). I actually don't know how to cook... I'm too busy being an attorney. Have a lovely day doing whatever it is that you do.
	3:32pm modchick65: @Adrian - Bring it, my friend! High-five!
	3:32pm duke: Is the wall to keep them out or keep us in?
	3:33pm deepsurface: wow, too much self deception in here, good luck snowflakes
	♥ 3:34pm JtotheK: re: popcorn music - there's a documentary short film that is a great overview. search for 'The PopcornOldies Story Belgium'.
	3:35pm sugarwolf: I went to Ellis Island last summer with family. I enjoyed it!
	3:36pm djsheilab: A link to the upcoming documentary "Accidental Courtesy" on PBS February 13th! www.pbs.org...
	3:36pm Stephanie: @djsheilab Where would we be without you?! Thanks for the knowledge and the tunes. So glad there's (wfmu) radio post-apocalypse.
	♥ 3:36pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Here's something that will definitely cheer you up! www.harpersbazaar.com...
	3:36pm northguineahills: My wife went to the DC march, but I'm still stuck down here in FL waiting to see if any of these job leads will start. She had a blast, but said it was suffocatingly crowded, and couldn't hear any of the speakers due to the lack of PAs.
	3:38pm modchick65: When I was in 7th & 8th grade, there was a huge initiative (among schoolchildren) to raise money for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We sold these chocolate Statues of Liberty, and I still remember the poem (we had to memorize it). I can see the Statue of Liberty from my apartment and I visited Ellis Island, and it makes me happy to think that all those chocolate statues of liberty we sold went towards their present state.
	3:39pm Bronwyn Bishop: thats true ngh, at a certain point we all started chanting "LET US MARCH!" because we were all packed in there listening to speakers whose words we couldn't make out
	3:40pm modchick65: @Bronwyn... we must have been close to each other. My friends and I were at the side of the stage, and we couldn't move and were stuck there for 5 hours. They kept bringing speakers out who had a variation on the same 3 speeches, and we were like, "OMG. LET US MARCH." I was definitely joining in those chants!
	3:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: yeah i was by the porta potties at one point and people were crushed up against them and others were trapped inside them, because they wouldn't let us move so we could listen to people say things we already knew we all agreed with otherwise we wouldn't be there. the actual marching part was great though.
	3:42pm Cecile: Bronwyn, you might want to post about that on social media. I know that some people have complained that the chanting was disrespectful to the speakers, but if you could not hear them at all, it makes perfect sense. Maybe they can have better sound in future marches.
	3:44pm Cecile: and modchick too.
	3:44pm northguineahills: @Bronwyn: Yeah, she said they were in that chant. By 3 they slipped out to find a bathroom, and by the time they got back, finally, the place they were at started to moved. Her and her friends were wiped out by the time they finished. Yet, they found enough energy for karaoke afterwards (which is odd as she usually shies away from that).
	3:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: I did post about it Cecile, but no one cared (ha)
	3:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: And it's not just that we couldn't hear them. It was getting dangerous. We had to move because I personally was having trouble breathing and there were kids and 90-year-olds in there. Amazing cause and event but not really well organized.
	3:46pm Cecile: I didn't see it, but good! I'm glad you did that!
	♥ 3:46pm dale: was 'the two of us' a seekers type of vocal group?
	3:46pm northguineahills: @modchick: We collected quarters in our elementary school in Florida, and would dump them at the front of our cafeteria each week. Later, I remember watching the ceremony that started the refurbishment of the Statue.
	♥ 3:46pm Stevel: BB: Wondering if it was the unexpectedly large turnout? Good problem to have, but, as you note, serious.
	♥ 3:47pm crateslinger: My daughter went to dc on the NOW bus from NYC. She took a picture of John Kerry walking his dog. She got home late and slept in. Said it was like standing in a huge crowd for five hours.
	3:47pm Cecile: I did hear that there were some big logistical issues.
	3:47pm modchick65: The problem was that the speakers were all directed down the street, but there was a huge area next to the stage and behind the stage where people were standing (and there were no speakers in that direction). As for disrespectful, I mean... whatever. We had literally been standing there for 5 hours and could not move. My feet were killing me, my back was killing me, and it was beyond claustrophobic at that point. It was waaaaaaaay too long, and I'm sure others were feeling that, too. It was most likely one of those situations where every womens organization asks if they can speak, the organizers don't want to say no, and then they end up all saying the same thing. There was too much repetition in the speeches (I've heard that from a lot of people). It was just too long to be standing there. Way too long.
	♥ 3:47pm Stevel: My daughter lives in DC and took part with friends who came from out of town. No serious complaints from their experience.
	3:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yeah, I think the issue was that there were twice as many people as expected because only half the people who came signed up online.
	♥ 3:48pm dale: hello kids - i dug that 'two of us' track. never heard of them.
	♥ 3:48pm Stevel: Good to be aware of for next time! Too much success!
	3:48pm wearpants: Dad on Women's March in NYC (his first protest since 1970): "It was a zoo, but what do you expect with 400,000 people?" It's always a zoo. 4,000, 400 or 40, you show up a protest & no one has any idea what's going on. This is a good thing, it's the most basic form of democracy: "Let's agree to all walk in the same direction". We need the practice.
	♥ 3:49pm dale: oh- my first post did post - thought it got absorbed by the ether.
	♥ 3:49pm Stevel: wearpants: Awesome.
	3:49pm Bronwyn Bishop: right pants, cause there's going to be a lot more where that came from! I'm already buying train tickets for the april 29 climate march
	♥ 3:49pm crateslinger: The permit was for 200,000, but way too many people signed up, so the march was actually cancelled! There was a rally, but no march. They were totally unprepared for the whole thing. Glad nobody died, especially Bronwyn Bishop.
	3:50pm Cecile: I completely understand that, modchick. I hadn't heard anything but love and peace and no reports of crushing crowds or potential dangers to people who couldn't move.
	3:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: Crateslinger, in DC we did march eventually. The one in Chicago was cancelled but I think all the other marches actually happened.
	3:52pm Cecile: St. Paul definitely happened. it looked great.
	♥ 3:52pm crateslinger: BB, hm. My daughter told me DC march was cancelled, but the rally was not. What does she know. Dumb kid.
	3:53pm Rob Kopp: Good tip Adrian
	3:53pm modchick65: @crateslinger - The Washington Post was reporting (while we were there) that the actual march was cancelled, but we did march. I don't know what that was about.
	♥ 3:54pm crateslinger: I think the official city permit or whatever was disallowed. They didn't stop anybody from showing up and you could do what you wanted, but the organization was not in charge of an official march.
	♥ 3:55pm Adrian in London: The London march was so huge, it took about an hour to walk 100 metres. After three hours we made it out of Grosvenor Square, where the US embassy is, by which time the speeches had already started – and probably finished – in Trafalgar Square. Didn't really matter though.
	3:55pm djsheilab: Glad you dug it @dale!
	3:56pm Mandy: Dont forget the Climate Change /March for Science march April 29! theres bound tk be one in NYC that day too.
	♥ 3:56pm Adrian in London: I love the cover of the Kilo Kish record!
	♥ 3:56pm crateslinger: She said there were only like three cops too. If this had been a dude march, the carnage would be unprecedented. Talking piles of dead.
	3:57pm Samoan Nick: You play a lot of stuff from genres I'd normally hate but I end up liking what you choose. Discerning is good!
	3:57pm modchick65: There were a bunch of cops, but they were having a good time.
	♥ 3:58pm JtotheK: nice, dig the uptempo Ruth Brown Mama (He ...)
	3:58pm djsheilab: Ooohhh....I love that compliment. Thank you! @Samoan Nick.
	♥ 3:58pm crateslinger: I'm imagining if I couldn't get out of the porta john for two seconds. I'd be stabbing everybody.
	3:59pm Rob Kopp: Love this version. Completely different form the '53 original.
	3:59pm βrian: The march in Madison drew the equivalent of 41% of the city's population — over 100,000, A great crowd with a great spirit.
	4:00pm modchick65: I really want to play guitar like this song and the Ruth Brown song.
	4:00pm modchick65: Go Madison!
	♥ 4:01pm Stevel: The Chicago march became a rally in Grant Park (?). I heard the DC march organizers chose not to pursue an actual march, as there were so many people. Big crowds can be scary in the best of circumstances, and this sounds like the best possible scenario. Madison (alma matter) kicks ass!
	♥ 4:04pm Stevel: Fort Wayne F---ing Indiana had at least 1,000, which, for a totally red area isn't half bad. Indy had 10s of thousands, by the look of coverage.
	♥ 4:05pm Adrian in London: The Julie Byrne record is a lovely thing.
	4:08pm Cecile: never apologize, never explain.
	4:08pm Cliff in Prague: Kyary-chan~!
	4:09pm Mandy: Sheila made me come out of the JPop-loving Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Closet.....you made it cool, Sheila....
	♥ 4:10pm crateslinger: This song just reminded me... My wife and I are going upstate to get a Chihuahua tomorrow. This is Chihuahua music.
	♥ 4:11pm crateslinger: Her name is Bitsy, and we have outfits.
	4:11pm Cecile: outfits! awesome.
	♥ 4:12pm crateslinger: yeah man. photos incoming.
	4:12pm Anonymous Coward: I sometimes miss J-pop and the Harajuku scene... Sometimes, mind you
	♥ 4:13pm crateslinger: yeah man. photos incoming.
	4:13pm Rob Kopp: In the 80's Arnold Rypens had an originals programma in Belgium once a month on Saturday evening from 10 to 12. That was the first programma for which I stayed at home (SBB is the second). I used to record the show on tape and save the songs I wanted to keep on Originals-tapes. I still have dozens of them.
	♥ 4:14pm crateslinger: oops.
	4:14pm Cliff in Prague: Ok, that "Pop Model" cover is just ridiculous.
	♥ 4:14pm Adrian in London: Woah, the Lio LP cover…
	4:14pm Cliff in Prague: Good song though!
	4:16pm modchick65: I'm such a Carole King geek that I went and found her childhood house in Brooklyn. Love her so much.
	♥ 4:16pm frozen_peas: red and yellow is the worst color combo for anything that doesn't explicitly involve ketchup and mustard.
	♥ 4:17pm steveo: how about pork 'n' beans, @peas?
	♥ 4:18pm frozen_peas: as a color combo?
	4:19pm geezerette: DOW-N H-O-O-O-O-MMME :::!
	♥ 4:19pm steveo: i'm not sure, but this song HAS IT
	♥ 4:20pm JtotheK: yay, down home girl! the coasters 'down home girl' is solid, and the flip of that ('soul pad') is equally good.
	4:20pm Rob Kopp: There's a great Nederbeat cover by The Entertainers: www.youtube.com...
	4:20pm modchick65: Ha! I totally could TELL this was Daptone. Nice.
	♥ 4:21pm Adrian in London: Yeah, this Olympians track is great.
	♥ 4:25pm crateslinger: outta here. see ya in the car!
	♥ 4:26pm listener james from westwood: Yay, Bangles!!
	4:27pm michaelzilkha: Sublime! Thank you.
	4:28pm djsheilab: @michaelzilkha! Hello friend!
	4:29pm Cecile: great Jules Shear song.
	4:30pm chalmers: Around the same time, Cyndi Lauper also had a hit with Jules Shear's "All Through the Night."
	4:32pm geezerette: Great idea Sheila!
	4:34pm Rob Kopp: And both Jules Shear songs are in the originals book that Sheila mentioned
	4:34pm βrian: Or a piñata. But what would be inside an orange-tufted piñata? Bust it open, and find out!
	4:35pm Cliff in Prague: Bile. Lots of bile
	4:36pm Cliff in Prague: "psychedelic reggae enka" -- wha...???
	♥ 4:37pm listener james from westwood: Wait, wasn't this song used, in diff't form, in "Kill Bill Pt 1," near the end?
	4:38pm djsheilab: @Cliff in Prague The album is fantastic!
	4:38pm Mandy: yeah James it sounds like "Urami Bushi" but the words are different.
	4:39pm Cliff in Prague: I have to buy this now Sheila, wow!!
	♥ 4:39pm listener james from westwood: Cool, I just had this huge deja vu feeling on the tune!
	4:40pm Cliff in Prague: Reggae & enka played on wacky synths. Totally works
	4:45pm Cecile: YES. This is my jam.
	4:46pm Marc15: This is so creepy, I just put this song on my Twitter page. My ex-boyfriend a banded me
	4:46pm Marc15: Abandoned*
	4:47pm Cecile: that sucks Marc. But a great song.
	4:47pm modchick65: Ack! I missed the creepy song?
	4:49pm βrian: Boy, John Prine's voice sure seems to have changed.
	4:50pm Ah non: The Lio album cover was based on Allen Jones' painting Red Girl (1964) fyi. See https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1225403104174217
	4:51pm djsheilab: Ah Ha! @Ah non! Thank you for clearing this up!
	4:51pm michaelz: She is so good. Her first venture after she got clean was as a cook.
	4:51pm Marc15: @Cecile Thank you. It sure is a great song
	4:53pm Cecile: I heard it first in the throes of my first breakup and it was surprisingly comforting in a sad way - just getting the feelings out there.
	4:58pm michaelz: If Loved Ruled the World we would have a different administration.
	4:58pm βrian: If Loved Ruled the World, there would be an Executive Order to fix that.
	4:58pm modchick65: This John Barry track is everything for me this afternoon.
	5:04pm βrian: Orangina is good pop. Not too sweet.
	♥ 5:05pm Adrian in London: Apparently, it's pronounced Go-shay, or so I read
	♥ 5:08pm Dominick: Hello!
	5:09pm modchick65: This song is amazing.
	5:10pm Carmichael: OK, back from luncheon. About 25,000 marchers in Sacramento, including my wife and daughters. Thoroughly pissed off the right wing rednecks, who started whining worse than they have for the last 8 years. One of these primo assholes owns a local brewery (google "12 Rounds"), and someone took all his posts and put them on his business home page. It's naturally gone viral, and most of his suppliers, business connections and customers have evaporated. I'm enjoying this particular soap opera.
	5:10pm djsheilab: @Dominick Hello!
	5:10pm Cliff in Prague: Thank you Sheila! & good night Sophisticates.
	5:11pm Rob Kopp: While drinking my beer, when Sheila mentioned 'another drink song', I had to think of Webb Pierce's drink song There stands the glass. You Tube contains a couple a couple of female covers I had never heard before (a.o. Wanda Jackson, Loretta Lynn)
	5:14pm Carmichael: I'm Bjorn again!
	5:17pm adam: lush. thank you
	5:17pm Rob Kopp: First Wire cover?
	♥ 5:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: An article about 12 Rounds - www.sacbee.com...
	5:20pm Cecile: Carm, he sounds like some of my in-laws. They think that any action of any kind after Trump won was just sour grapes, and there is nothing to worry about. Sigh.
	5:22pm modchick65: I think Sheila's found the theme song for the next 4 years.
	5:23pm Carmichael: The biggest victim of this election cycle has been civility. Aah well, at least we have the music and Sheila B.
	5:24pm djsheilab: Absolutely @Carmichael.
	5:24pm JesDanger: I love everything you are playing girl!! I've been away from the WFMU dials for a spell and this is my new must listen to show every week. Thanks!!
	♥ 5:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: The annual Cinco de Mayo party at the White House is going to be awkward this year, that is certain.
	5:29pm Carmichael: HA HA Ken .... :)
	5:31pm mike east: Heard you mention John pizzarelli earlier...I was just telling someone this afternoon that he's one of our nicest clients (at the rehearsal studio)
	5:34pm djsheilab: @mike east He puts on a fantastic show too! I saw him this past week at Birdland.
	5:36pm Schnipp: Someone refresh my memory: is Jonesy hosting the morning show this weekend? Or did I miss it? Or next Monday-Tuesday?
	5:37pm Schnipp: Never mind. Wrong chat. Nice set tho!
	5:38pm djsheilab: @JesDanger THANXXXX so much!!!
	5:39pm ncjay: this Metric song sounds like Lunic!
	♥ 5:42pm JtotheK: are cheryll/pam going to be followed up by Dee Clark "That's My Girl" ...
	5:43pm mike east: I'm sure. He's got a pro pedigree. Great show today, dj
	5:46pm modchick65: Wow, I always really disliked the popular version of this song (You Made Me So Very Happy), but this version is really great.
	5:47pm Parq: Wow, eating up this Bobbie cover. She's just the greatest.
	5:47pm Carmichael: I didn't know Brenda Holloway wrote this. I also disliked the BS&T version.
	5:47pm modchick65: I generally hated BS&T... even as a child. That Spinning Wheel song drove me bonkers. I hated that guy's voice.
	5:49pm Cecile: Cool, Eugene McDaniel cover!
	5:52pm Carmichael: At the height of BS&T's popularity, Thomas sang a TV commercial jingle. I wanna say Best Foods mayo, or some salad dressing. Ugh ...
	5:54pm βrian: Lovely Shirley!
	♥ 5:55pm JtotheK: great show - thanks sheilaB!
	5:55pm geezerette: Awwwww! tap yer heart out Shirley.
	5:56pm geezerette: Sheila, you are the best! So funny. :D
	5:57pm modchick65: Rumour has it that the Codfish Ball is right next to the Enchantment Under The Sea dance.
	5:57pm Rob Kopp: Thanks again Sheila.
	5:58pm The Contessa: Dear Sheila, thanks for a lovely evening. Bye everyone…
	♥ 5:58pm Adrian in London: Lovely show tonight. Going to re-listen to some stuff on Spotify right now. Can't believe you're not here next week!!! xx
	5:59pm Cecile: That Roberta Flack track is a cover of a song from Eugene McDaniels's Headless Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good night, The Contessa and Adrian. Chins up!
	6:01pm dano59: Nice Bobbie Gentry -- loved it Sheila...
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you everyone! See you in a coupla weeks! Xoxo

Listener comments!
	3:03pm modchick65: Happy Friday everyone.
	♥ 3:03pm crateslinger: Is it time to dance?
	3:03pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers.
	3:04pm modchick65: My dad had this record when I was a child.
	3:04pm The Contessa: Hello Sheila, hello everyone. USA, you still there? Nice to see you back @modchick
	♥ 3:04pm listener james from westwood: One of the first musicals I heard the soundtrack to as a kid! And most of my friends were in a senior-year production of same. So, hell yes!
	♥ 3:04pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila!
	3:04pm geezerette: well those days are temporarily over. Howdy!
	3:04pm Rob Kopp: Hi Sheila and all.First: if you haven't seen this yet I can recommend this short introduction of The Netherlands: www.youtube.com...
	3:05pm Cliff in Prague: Hello hello
	3:05pm chalmers: In the musical, Anita's counterpoint is a female friend, but I always suspected that they changed it for the movie to give George Chakiris more screen time.
	♥ 3:06pm doctorjazz: Hi!
	3:06pm northguineahills: I saw that Rob, it's amazing, and the sly sarcasm is something that is stereotypically rare on the continent.
	♥ 3:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Filling the room with the Boom Boom!
	3:06pm modchick65: Thanks @TheContessa. I participate when I can. As for the US, we're here but wildly embarrassed. Pardon my blush.
	♥ 3:06pm JtotheK: hi sheilaB, hi fellow boom-boomers.
	3:07pm geezerette: Rspect to Rita Moreno!!! Star!
	♥ 3:07pm psysci: looking forward to getting in my car for some sheila b
	♥ 3:08pm Sem Chumbo: Stellar stuff, with a side order of Boom Boom. Hiya, djsheilaB, and Jets everywhere.
	3:08pm The Contessa: This is so nice!
	3:08pm JakeGould: My mom and dad loved "West Side Story" and lived this song. Thanks Shiela!
	3:09pm Listener Robert: I have the WSS album too, in the garage. Don't know if it's from the movie sound track or recorded in conjunction with the play.
	3:09pm modchick65: I really enjoyed the Kennedy Center Honors with Rita Moreno (same one as Carole King & George Lucas).
	3:09pm Cooh John: Listened to WSS soundtrack as a kid. Still know the lyrics.
	3:09pm djsheilab: Hey gang! Thought "America" would be an appropriate start for this week of insanity.
	3:10pm Carmichael: @Contessa: The US is currently on hold. Your call will be answered in the order it was received. Maybe, maybe not.
	3:11pm Listener Robert: Outside Gilbert & Sullivan, has any number from a musical had its music taken for more later lyrics )mostly parody) than "America"?
	♥ 3:11pm Adrian in London: Evening all. @modchick Don't be embarrassed. Someone in Greece tweeted a photo of a menu in Athens yesterday that had a 'Breggsit' burger on it – burger with eggs. The UK's the laughing stock of Europe. Anyway, nice weather we're having…
	3:11pm modchick65: I think, moving forward, I'm going to come on here every week with the first comment "I'm sorry."
	♥ 3:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Probably a better choice than Styx' "Miss America."
	3:13pm modchick65: A much better choice than Neil Diamond's "America." And I say that as someone who generally loves Neil Diamond.
	3:14pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian. Googled for the picture. That Breggsit burger looks very tasty
	3:14pm djsheilab: I expected things to be bad, but not this bad and so bloody fast! ARGHHHHHH!!!! Well, I'm glad you're all here to so we can take comfort in each other + musique!
	♥ 3:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Not a fan of alternative facts, Sheila? <rolls eyes>
	3:16pm Rob Kopp: Nice Trumpet in that last song
	3:16pm Cliff in Prague: My favorite burger joint here closed :( but they had a fried-egg-&-mushrooms-burger too
	♥ 3:16pm crateslinger: Time to dance. Woo! Friday is over!
	♥ 3:17pm Adrian in London: Bill Callahan's America is a marvellous song, incidentally.
	3:17pm djsheilab: @crateslinger Yes! I shall take inspiration from your cheery spirit!
	3:18pm modchick65: Did anyone go to a march last week? A friend of a friend took the video of MILCK singing that awesome song "Quiet."
	♥ 3:18pm crateslinger: Good idea, SB! It's payday, and it's weekend, and it's Sheila B!
	3:18pm The Contessa: @modchick, my darling husband did while I was ill at home!
	3:19pm modchick65: @TheContessa - Awesome! Thank your husband for me, and I'm sorry you were ill. :( I was in DC. It was pretty great.
	3:20pm Bronwyn Bishop: sheila's show is the best show because it means the weekend is almost here! hi everyone!
	♥ 3:21pm crateslinger: Sheila B is the weekend! Just try and get me to do something Mr. Bossman! I can't hear you! LALALALALALA!
	3:21pm modchick65: @Bronwyn -- Hi! (waves)
	♥ 3:22pm JtotheK: this popcorn comp LP is so so good. recommended!
	3:23pm modchick65: I'm def going to check this out. It's fab!
	♥ 3:23pm JtotheK: the shorty long 'burnt toast and black coffee' is on the comp, i've decided it's unlikely that i'll find the 45 anytime soon.
	3:24pm ?: ya'll should march back to the kitchen, have some tea, and wake up, dont be a tool, the not-so-useful kind, empowering moronic mobs
	3:26pm Jimbo: Trump = Putin's useful idiot
	3:26pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi modchick65!!! :)
	♥ 3:27pm JtotheK: @bronwyn bishop - i've been enjoying your shows via the archive, at some point will catch one as it airs!
	3:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: I was at the Washington DC march by the way! It was an amazing experience except when I almost got crushed to death against a port a potty because there were literally over a million people there (as opposed to the inauguration...)
	3:28pm JakeGould: Nixon is still the worst.
	3:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thanks JtotheK :D
	♥ 3:29pm Stevel: So far, Jake, so far.
	♥ 3:29pm Adrian in London: @modchick Ahem, I'm the husband. It was great, SO many people, and an amazing atmosphere. Apparently he's doing a state visit to the UK. The protests are going to be ENORMOUS!
	3:30pm deepsurface: do not embrace any "leader". hero worship if for fools.
	♥ 3:31pm JtotheK: popcorn, to me (briefly somewhat) - similar to the 'northern soul' description in that numerous genres fall under the umbrella... but popcorn is slower tempo, jazzy... and comes from the JB 'popcorn' album which inspired the club in Belgium...
	3:31pm modchick65: Oh, darling (upthread). I actually don't know how to cook... I'm too busy being an attorney. Have a lovely day doing whatever it is that you do.
	3:32pm modchick65: @Adrian - Bring it, my friend! High-five!
	3:32pm duke: Is the wall to keep them out or keep us in?
	3:33pm deepsurface: wow, too much self deception in here, good luck snowflakes
	♥ 3:34pm JtotheK: re: popcorn music - there's a documentary short film that is a great overview. search for 'The PopcornOldies Story Belgium'.
	3:35pm sugarwolf: I went to Ellis Island last summer with family. I enjoyed it!
	3:36pm djsheilab: A link to the upcoming documentary "Accidental Courtesy" on PBS February 13th! www.pbs.org...
	3:36pm Stephanie: @djsheilab Where would we be without you?! Thanks for the knowledge and the tunes. So glad there's (wfmu) radio post-apocalypse.
	♥ 3:36pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Here's something that will definitely cheer you up! www.harpersbazaar.com...
	3:36pm northguineahills: My wife went to the DC march, but I'm still stuck down here in FL waiting to see if any of these job leads will start. She had a blast, but said it was suffocatingly crowded, and couldn't hear any of the speakers due to the lack of PAs.
	3:38pm modchick65: When I was in 7th & 8th grade, there was a huge initiative (among schoolchildren) to raise money for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We sold these chocolate Statues of Liberty, and I still remember the poem (we had to memorize it). I can see the Statue of Liberty from my apartment and I visited Ellis Island, and it makes me happy to think that all those chocolate statues of liberty we sold went towards their present state.
	3:39pm Bronwyn Bishop: thats true ngh, at a certain point we all started chanting "LET US MARCH!" because we were all packed in there listening to speakers whose words we couldn't make out
	3:40pm modchick65: @Bronwyn... we must have been close to each other. My friends and I were at the side of the stage, and we couldn't move and were stuck there for 5 hours. They kept bringing speakers out who had a variation on the same 3 speeches, and we were like, "OMG. LET US MARCH." I was definitely joining in those chants!
	3:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: yeah i was by the porta potties at one point and people were crushed up against them and others were trapped inside them, because they wouldn't let us move so we could listen to people say things we already knew we all agreed with otherwise we wouldn't be there. the actual marching part was great though.
	3:42pm Cecile: Bronwyn, you might want to post about that on social media. I know that some people have complained that the chanting was disrespectful to the speakers, but if you could not hear them at all, it makes perfect sense. Maybe they can have better sound in future marches.
	3:44pm Cecile: and modchick too.
	3:44pm northguineahills: @Bronwyn: Yeah, she said they were in that chant. By 3 they slipped out to find a bathroom, and by the time they got back, finally, the place they were at started to moved. Her and her friends were wiped out by the time they finished. Yet, they found enough energy for karaoke afterwards (which is odd as she usually shies away from that).
	3:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: I did post about it Cecile, but no one cared (ha)
	3:45pm Bronwyn Bishop: And it's not just that we couldn't hear them. It was getting dangerous. We had to move because I personally was having trouble breathing and there were kids and 90-year-olds in there. Amazing cause and event but not really well organized.
	3:46pm Cecile: I didn't see it, but good! I'm glad you did that!
	♥ 3:46pm dale: was 'the two of us' a seekers type of vocal group?
	3:46pm northguineahills: @modchick: We collected quarters in our elementary school in Florida, and would dump them at the front of our cafeteria each week. Later, I remember watching the ceremony that started the refurbishment of the Statue.
	♥ 3:46pm Stevel: BB: Wondering if it was the unexpectedly large turnout? Good problem to have, but, as you note, serious.
	♥ 3:47pm crateslinger: My daughter went to dc on the NOW bus from NYC. She took a picture of John Kerry walking his dog. She got home late and slept in. Said it was like standing in a huge crowd for five hours.
	3:47pm Cecile: I did hear that there were some big logistical issues.
	3:47pm modchick65: The problem was that the speakers were all directed down the street, but there was a huge area next to the stage and behind the stage where people were standing (and there were no speakers in that direction). As for disrespectful, I mean... whatever. We had literally been standing there for 5 hours and could not move. My feet were killing me, my back was killing me, and it was beyond claustrophobic at that point. It was waaaaaaaay too long, and I'm sure others were feeling that, too. It was most likely one of those situations where every womens organization asks if they can speak, the organizers don't want to say no, and then they end up all saying the same thing. There was too much repetition in the speeches (I've heard that from a lot of people). It was just too long to be standing there. Way too long.
	♥ 3:47pm Stevel: My daughter lives in DC and took part with friends who came from out of town. No serious complaints from their experience.
	3:48pm Bronwyn Bishop: Yeah, I think the issue was that there were twice as many people as expected because only half the people who came signed up online.
	♥ 3:48pm dale: hello kids - i dug that 'two of us' track. never heard of them.
	♥ 3:48pm Stevel: Good to be aware of for next time! Too much success!
	3:48pm wearpants: Dad on Women's March in NYC (his first protest since 1970): "It was a zoo, but what do you expect with 400,000 people?" It's always a zoo. 4,000, 400 or 40, you show up a protest & no one has any idea what's going on. This is a good thing, it's the most basic form of democracy: "Let's agree to all walk in the same direction". We need the practice.
	♥ 3:49pm dale: oh- my first post did post - thought it got absorbed by the ether.
	♥ 3:49pm Stevel: wearpants: Awesome.
	3:49pm Bronwyn Bishop: right pants, cause there's going to be a lot more where that came from! I'm already buying train tickets for the april 29 climate march
	♥ 3:49pm crateslinger: The permit was for 200,000, but way too many people signed up, so the march was actually cancelled! There was a rally, but no march. They were totally unprepared for the whole thing. Glad nobody died, especially Bronwyn Bishop.
	3:50pm Cecile: I completely understand that, modchick. I hadn't heard anything but love and peace and no reports of crushing crowds or potential dangers to people who couldn't move.
	3:51pm Bronwyn Bishop: Crateslinger, in DC we did march eventually. The one in Chicago was cancelled but I think all the other marches actually happened.
	3:52pm Cecile: St. Paul definitely happened. it looked great.
	♥ 3:52pm crateslinger: BB, hm. My daughter told me DC march was cancelled, but the rally was not. What does she know. Dumb kid.
	3:53pm Rob Kopp: Good tip Adrian
	3:53pm modchick65: @crateslinger - The Washington Post was reporting (while we were there) that the actual march was cancelled, but we did march. I don't know what that was about.
	♥ 3:54pm crateslinger: I think the official city permit or whatever was disallowed. They didn't stop anybody from showing up and you could do what you wanted, but the organization was not in charge of an official march.
	♥ 3:55pm Adrian in London: The London march was so huge, it took about an hour to walk 100 metres. After three hours we made it out of Grosvenor Square, where the US embassy is, by which time the speeches had already started – and probably finished – in Trafalgar Square. Didn't really matter though.
	3:55pm djsheilab: Glad you dug it @dale!
	3:56pm Mandy: Dont forget the Climate Change /March for Science march April 29! theres bound tk be one in NYC that day too.
	♥ 3:56pm Adrian in London: I love the cover of the Kilo Kish record!
	♥ 3:56pm crateslinger: She said there were only like three cops too. If this had been a dude march, the carnage would be unprecedented. Talking piles of dead.
	3:57pm Samoan Nick: You play a lot of stuff from genres I'd normally hate but I end up liking what you choose. Discerning is good!
	3:57pm modchick65: There were a bunch of cops, but they were having a good time.
	♥ 3:58pm JtotheK: nice, dig the uptempo Ruth Brown Mama (He ...)
	3:58pm djsheilab: Ooohhh....I love that compliment. Thank you! @Samoan Nick.
	♥ 3:58pm crateslinger: I'm imagining if I couldn't get out of the porta john for two seconds. I'd be stabbing everybody.
	3:59pm Rob Kopp: Love this version. Completely different form the '53 original.
	3:59pm βrian: The march in Madison drew the equivalent of 41% of the city's population — over 100,000, A great crowd with a great spirit.
	4:00pm modchick65: I really want to play guitar like this song and the Ruth Brown song.
	4:00pm modchick65: Go Madison!
	♥ 4:01pm Stevel: The Chicago march became a rally in Grant Park (?). I heard the DC march organizers chose not to pursue an actual march, as there were so many people. Big crowds can be scary in the best of circumstances, and this sounds like the best possible scenario. Madison (alma matter) kicks ass!
	♥ 4:04pm Stevel: Fort Wayne F---ing Indiana had at least 1,000, which, for a totally red area isn't half bad. Indy had 10s of thousands, by the look of coverage.
	♥ 4:05pm Adrian in London: The Julie Byrne record is a lovely thing.
	4:08pm Cecile: never apologize, never explain.
	4:08pm Cliff in Prague: Kyary-chan~!
	4:09pm Mandy: Sheila made me come out of the JPop-loving Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Closet.....you made it cool, Sheila....
	♥ 4:10pm crateslinger: This song just reminded me... My wife and I are going upstate to get a Chihuahua tomorrow. This is Chihuahua music.
	♥ 4:11pm crateslinger: Her name is Bitsy, and we have outfits.
	4:11pm Cecile: outfits! awesome.
	♥ 4:12pm crateslinger: yeah man. photos incoming.
	4:12pm Anonymous Coward: I sometimes miss J-pop and the Harajuku scene... Sometimes, mind you
	♥ 4:13pm crateslinger: yeah man. photos incoming.
	4:13pm Rob Kopp: In the 80's Arnold Rypens had an originals programma in Belgium once a month on Saturday evening from 10 to 12. That was the first programma for which I stayed at home (SBB is the second). I used to record the show on tape and save the songs I wanted to keep on Originals-tapes. I still have dozens of them.
	♥ 4:14pm crateslinger: oops.
	4:14pm Cliff in Prague: Ok, that "Pop Model" cover is just ridiculous.
	♥ 4:14pm Adrian in London: Woah, the Lio LP cover…
	4:14pm Cliff in Prague: Good song though!
	4:16pm modchick65: I'm such a Carole King geek that I went and found her childhood house in Brooklyn. Love her so much.
	♥ 4:16pm frozen_peas: red and yellow is the worst color combo for anything that doesn't explicitly involve ketchup and mustard.
	♥ 4:17pm steveo: how about pork 'n' beans, @peas?
	♥ 4:18pm frozen_peas: as a color combo?
	4:19pm geezerette: DOW-N H-O-O-O-O-MMME :::!
	♥ 4:19pm steveo: i'm not sure, but this song HAS IT
	♥ 4:20pm JtotheK: yay, down home girl! the coasters 'down home girl' is solid, and the flip of that ('soul pad') is equally good.
	4:20pm Rob Kopp: There's a great Nederbeat cover by The Entertainers: www.youtube.com...
	4:20pm modchick65: Ha! I totally could TELL this was Daptone. Nice.
	♥ 4:21pm Adrian in London: Yeah, this Olympians track is great.
	♥ 4:25pm crateslinger: outta here. see ya in the car!
	♥ 4:26pm listener james from westwood: Yay, Bangles!!
	4:27pm michaelzilkha: Sublime! Thank you.
	4:28pm djsheilab: @michaelzilkha! Hello friend!
	4:29pm Cecile: great Jules Shear song.
	4:30pm chalmers: Around the same time, Cyndi Lauper also had a hit with Jules Shear's "All Through the Night."
	4:32pm geezerette: Great idea Sheila!
	4:34pm Rob Kopp: And both Jules Shear songs are in the originals book that Sheila mentioned
	4:34pm βrian: Or a piñata. But what would be inside an orange-tufted piñata? Bust it open, and find out!
	4:35pm Cliff in Prague: Bile. Lots of bile
	4:36pm Cliff in Prague: "psychedelic reggae enka" -- wha...???
	♥ 4:37pm listener james from westwood: Wait, wasn't this song used, in diff't form, in "Kill Bill Pt 1," near the end?
	4:38pm djsheilab: @Cliff in Prague The album is fantastic!
	4:38pm Mandy: yeah James it sounds like "Urami Bushi" but the words are different.
	4:39pm Cliff in Prague: I have to buy this now Sheila, wow!!
	♥ 4:39pm listener james from westwood: Cool, I just had this huge deja vu feeling on the tune!
	4:40pm Cliff in Prague: Reggae & enka played on wacky synths. Totally works
	4:45pm Cecile: YES. This is my jam.
	4:46pm Marc15: This is so creepy, I just put this song on my Twitter page. My ex-boyfriend a banded me
	4:46pm Marc15: Abandoned*
	4:47pm Cecile: that sucks Marc. But a great song.
	4:47pm modchick65: Ack! I missed the creepy song?
	4:49pm βrian: Boy, John Prine's voice sure seems to have changed.
	4:50pm Ah non: The Lio album cover was based on Allen Jones' painting Red Girl (1964) fyi. See https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1225403104174217
	4:51pm djsheilab: Ah Ha! @Ah non! Thank you for clearing this up!
	4:51pm michaelz: She is so good. Her first venture after she got clean was as a cook.
	4:51pm Marc15: @Cecile Thank you. It sure is a great song
	4:53pm Cecile: I heard it first in the throes of my first breakup and it was surprisingly comforting in a sad way - just getting the feelings out there.
	4:58pm michaelz: If Loved Ruled the World we would have a different administration.
	4:58pm βrian: If Loved Ruled the World, there would be an Executive Order to fix that.
	4:58pm modchick65: This John Barry track is everything for me this afternoon.
	5:04pm βrian: Orangina is good pop. Not too sweet.
	♥ 5:05pm Adrian in London: Apparently, it's pronounced Go-shay, or so I read
	♥ 5:08pm Dominick: Hello!
	5:09pm modchick65: This song is amazing.
	5:10pm Carmichael: OK, back from luncheon. About 25,000 marchers in Sacramento, including my wife and daughters. Thoroughly pissed off the right wing rednecks, who started whining worse than they have for the last 8 years. One of these primo assholes owns a local brewery (google "12 Rounds"), and someone took all his posts and put them on his business home page. It's naturally gone viral, and most of his suppliers, business connections and customers have evaporated. I'm enjoying this particular soap opera.
	5:10pm djsheilab: @Dominick Hello!
	5:10pm Cliff in Prague: Thank you Sheila! & good night Sophisticates.
	5:11pm Rob Kopp: While drinking my beer, when Sheila mentioned 'another drink song', I had to think of Webb Pierce's drink song There stands the glass. You Tube contains a couple a couple of female covers I had never heard before (a.o. Wanda Jackson, Loretta Lynn)
	5:14pm Carmichael: I'm Bjorn again!
	5:17pm adam: lush. thank you
	5:17pm Rob Kopp: First Wire cover?
	♥ 5:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: An article about 12 Rounds - www.sacbee.com...
	5:20pm Cecile: Carm, he sounds like some of my in-laws. They think that any action of any kind after Trump won was just sour grapes, and there is nothing to worry about. Sigh.
	5:22pm modchick65: I think Sheila's found the theme song for the next 4 years.
	5:23pm Carmichael: The biggest victim of this election cycle has been civility. Aah well, at least we have the music and Sheila B.
	5:24pm djsheilab: Absolutely @Carmichael.
	5:24pm JesDanger: I love everything you are playing girl!! I've been away from the WFMU dials for a spell and this is my new must listen to show every week. Thanks!!
	♥ 5:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: The annual Cinco de Mayo party at the White House is going to be awkward this year, that is certain.
	5:29pm Carmichael: HA HA Ken .... :)
	5:31pm mike east: Heard you mention John pizzarelli earlier...I was just telling someone this afternoon that he's one of our nicest clients (at the rehearsal studio)
	5:34pm djsheilab: @mike east He puts on a fantastic show too! I saw him this past week at Birdland.
	5:36pm Schnipp: Someone refresh my memory: is Jonesy hosting the morning show this weekend? Or did I miss it? Or next Monday-Tuesday?
	5:37pm Schnipp: Never mind. Wrong chat. Nice set tho!
	5:38pm djsheilab: @JesDanger THANXXXX so much!!!
	5:39pm ncjay: this Metric song sounds like Lunic!
	♥ 5:42pm JtotheK: are cheryll/pam going to be followed up by Dee Clark "That's My Girl" ...
	5:43pm mike east: I'm sure. He's got a pro pedigree. Great show today, dj
	5:46pm modchick65: Wow, I always really disliked the popular version of this song (You Made Me So Very Happy), but this version is really great.
	5:47pm Parq: Wow, eating up this Bobbie cover. She's just the greatest.
	5:47pm Carmichael: I didn't know Brenda Holloway wrote this. I also disliked the BS&T version.
	5:47pm modchick65: I generally hated BS&T... even as a child. That Spinning Wheel song drove me bonkers. I hated that guy's voice.
	5:49pm Cecile: Cool, Eugene McDaniel cover!
	5:52pm Carmichael: At the height of BS&T's popularity, Thomas sang a TV commercial jingle. I wanna say Best Foods mayo, or some salad dressing. Ugh ...
	5:54pm βrian: Lovely Shirley!
	♥ 5:55pm JtotheK: great show - thanks sheilaB!
	5:55pm geezerette: Awwwww! tap yer heart out Shirley.
	5:56pm geezerette: Sheila, you are the best! So funny. :D
	5:57pm modchick65: Rumour has it that the Codfish Ball is right next to the Enchantment Under The Sea dance.
	5:57pm Rob Kopp: Thanks again Sheila.
	5:58pm The Contessa: Dear Sheila, thanks for a lovely evening. Bye everyone…
	♥ 5:58pm Adrian in London: Lovely show tonight. Going to re-listen to some stuff on Spotify right now. Can't believe you're not here next week!!! xx
	5:59pm Cecile: That Roberta Flack track is a cover of a song from Eugene McDaniels's Headless Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good night, The Contessa and Adrian. Chins up!
	6:01pm dano59: Nice Bobbie Gentry -- loved it Sheila...
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you everyone! See you in a coupla weeks! Xoxo
