	3:14pm steveo: hurrrah, it's sheila time! hellooo!
	3:16pm djsheilab: These Lomboy lyrics are excellent.
	3:16pm djsheilab: Hey loveless + steveo!
	3:18pm Phillippe Bastille: 'ello all (typed with a foreign accent)
	3:19pm Michael 98145: 'urricanes 'ardly ever 'appen
	3:19pm northguineahills: I was hoping the Lomboy song was about the band, Loverboy. I have some crap to get done, will be in and out...
	3:21pm djsheilab: Hey northguineahills + Phillippe Bastille!
	3:23pm Cooh John: I have fever every Friday @ 3. That is a song I collect.
	3:24pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Looking forward to the rest of the show.
	3:27pm P-90: Brilliant use of those O’Jays samples
	3:27pm Monica: mizz angie stone! she was a member of one of the earliest female hip-hop acts, The Sequence! sounding good in the hood, sheila b.!
	3:31pm mg: I think "Yesterday" is the most covered song?
	3:31pm JtotheK: Re: Covered Songs ... in the jazz world, at one point 'My Funny Valentine' was up there in cover versions. Hi SheilaB. Hi everyone.
	3:31pm tadpoles: It might be "Yesterday" unfortunately.
	3:31pm Louie: Louie Louie.
	3:32pm Michael 98145: { isn't Mary Wing our cover scientist ? } :)
	3:32pm P-90: Most covered pop song
	3:32pm P-90: “Yesterday”?
	3:32pm JtotheK: And during Little Danny's program the Cool Blue Flame we were discussing the various versions of Watermelon Man.
	3:32pm Johnny Boy: Hey Joe is one that has been covered many many times...
	3:32pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: My money for most-covered is on Louie Louie.
	3:33pm Joe B: Hey Sheila and sophisticates! Don’t get to check in often here but I always listen. I’ve also heard that “Yesterday” is the most covered song.
	3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Joe McGasko has proven that "Eleanor Rigby" reigns supreme.
	3:33pm The Oscar: Probably not radio-playable, but "Shave 'Em Dry" dispelled any illusions I had about the "squeaky-clean" past.
	3:34pm Johnny Boy: I have 170 different versions of Hey Joe on my iPod...
	3:35pm RomanDogBird: old time sleaze rules
	3:37pm djsheilab: Johnny Boy—WOAH! A "Hey Joe" show for Joe McGasko perhaps?
	3:38pm Frank Zaatar: It used to be St. Louis Blues, but now I think it's Something by George Harrison. Of course if you ask buskers around the world. it's Leonard Cohen 's Hallelujah-to the point where he pretty much disavowed the song.
	3:38pm djsheilab: Hey Joe B.! Thanks for checking in :)
	3:38pm sinner: Brown Eye'd Girl
	3:38pm djsheilab: The Oscar—Haha! Absolutely.
	3:38pm yes: Just got here... and I love it
	3:40pm djsheilab: Thanks yes!
	3:40pm djsheilab: I'll read all of these on my next mic break. Thanks for chiming in!
	3:41pm dreamyandseedy: thanks for always posting the cover art sheila! it really helps me connect with the music
	3:41pm mlsgrrl: Until this minute, I didn't know that I still had an attachment to any songs on the Flashdance soundtrack. We danced to so many of these songs in my jazz class when I was 10... Thanks Sheila!
	3:41pm queems: this sounds very carsy
	3:42pm rsj: classic, confused at first with she bop
	3:42pm djsheilab: misgrrl—Ah sweet! That soundtrack inspired my jazz dancing as a kid as well.
	3:42pm Phillippe Bastille: That sweatshirt looks like something Bill Belichek would wear (NFL reference)
	3:44pm ncjay: I think I read in the past that "Stardust" had the most cover versions. May not still be the case
	3:44pm annexia: Most Covered Songs Try: mentalfloss.com...
	3:44pm P-90: “Something” is certainly up there
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mothra !
	3:46pm ncjay: aha! It's the German-language version of "Silent Night". See here: secondhandsongs.com... (use the "Database Statistics" tab)
	3:47pm rsj: that 2 many dj's romeo mashup is worth playing
	3:47pm ncjay: heh. "Stardust" is #34. but "Summertime" is #2!
	3:47pm Cooh John: "Romeo, Romeo, where art thou?" "I am on Sophisticated Boom Boom, Juliet!"
	3:48pm diciassette: What is the opposite of a Romeo Void? I think this is it.
	3:48pm ncjay: and at least half the top 50 is christmas songs
	3:49pm Passaic River Blues: Oh man, is this gorgeous or what?
	3:49pm djsheilab: ncjay—Yeah that makes sense. Christmas ruins everything!
	3:49pm Phillippe Bastille: @Ncjay we should get Warwick to urge all of us to make home recordings of Summertime instead of the Felder crap. We could push Summertime to #1
	3:50pm katharsis: Hello all. I see horses
	3:51pm Martinibomb: Just sayin' hello to Sheila and everyone in the chat.
	3:51pm ncjay: I missed the "exclude christmas songs" checkbox - ruling those out makes the list much more readable
	3:52pm P-90: I knew the question should have been posed as: “what’s the most-covered (non-Christmas) song?”
	3:52pm Michael 98145: Hmm. Difficult to believe Satisfaction is still being covered ...
	3:52pm djsheilab: Indeed! Non-Christmas please. So what's #1? Any consensus?
	3:57pm Ingrid: Bohemian Rhapsody
	3:58pm Phillippe Bastille: The old Bell Telephone ringtone. Most covers are extremely faithful
	4:05pm Cool Runnings: Holaaas! Hace calor, verdad? Siiii, asi es...buen dia a ti Sheila!
	4:06pm ncjay: Sheila, "Summertime" is #1 once you exclude xmas songs
	4:07pm The Oscar: Ken's "Institutionalized" show is one for the ages.
	4:08pm elviscausticfellow: "Besame Mucho" has been covered a shit ton.
	4:09pm djsheilab: elviscausticfellow—Of course! That's definitely up there.
	4:09pm djsheilab: ncjay—Thanks for clarifying!
	4:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Oscar - For sure, and there was a nice Chris M New Year's Eve show with "Bye Bye Blackbird" covers.
	4:11pm yes: :) love this comp
	4:11pm Booz: Who's goin to this show tonight? See you there!
	4:12pm djsheilab: Booz—Joe McG + I will be there!
	4:13pm Booz: I'll look for you. "For this special show Sachiko will be backed by a band featuring James McNew, Steve Gunn, Liam Cunningham and TJ Maiani."
	4:14pm tim from champaign: Did Joe interview Sachiko K a few months ago?
	4:15pm djsheilab: tim from champaign—He did but it was quite awhile back now. It was his interview that led to Steve Gunn contacting her, and a big New York Times article as a result!
	4:16pm RomanDogBird: tim from champaign: www.wfmu.org...
	4:16pm tim from champaign: That's right! Thanks Sheila. I was thinking of the Steve Gunn interview where she called in. Have fun at the show!
	4:16pm Booz: @Timfromchampagne He did, and she played a very lovely set.
	4:16pm katharsis: Magical
	4:18pm Passaic River Blues: That picture of Kanenobu in the WFMU studio is almost painfully adorable.
	4:21pm Poo Man, Poo!: It’s a very, very, very fine house!
	4:23pm melinda: hi everyone
	4:24pm djsheilab: Hey Melinda + katharsis + everyone checking in. AMAZING Single of the Week coming up!!!!!
	4:25pm Asheville Jon: always awesome to hear ABBA on FMU!!!
	4:26pm tim from champaign: Holy cow! I thought this as 80s Yoko Ono. Crazy.
	4:26pm djsheilab: Asheville Jon—And this one is EPIC!
	4:27pm Asheville Jon: how so djsheilab?
	4:27pm djsheilab: Love how ABBA reference chinese food + Dallas. DEEP!
	4:30pm grtyvr: slowly getting pulled into the ABBA camp.... This one helps.
	4:30pm RomanDogBird: so glad i got turned onto ABBA a few years ago, still need to go in deep with their discography
	4:30pm Phillippe Bastille: Man, this set is killing my diet. First I look at the Cristina Quesada cover and read Cristina Quesadilla, then ABBA sings about Chinese food.
	4:30pm Michael 98145: * ring *
	4:31pm Phillippe Bastille: See, I told you guys that Bell Telephone ringtone gets covered...
	4:32pm Booz: That biew sound is one of my favorite sounds.
	4:35pm The Oscar: @Booz I've always referred to that sound as the "disco laser."
	4:38pm Michael 98145: oh, you never let us down :)
	4:38pm Booz: @TheOscar Nice.
	4:40pm Frank Zaatar: Sheila, I hope you've heard Stacy Lattislaw's Attack of the Name Game!
	4:41pm Passaic River Blues: I'm guessing Senegal or Mali based on the surname.
	4:44pm loveless: I think Stacy Lattishaw released more singles than Anita Ward and has had a longer career.
	4:45pm tim from champaign: I dug the single of the week. I love the white label cover too.
	4:46pm djsheilab: loveless—Haha! Well, glad it worked out for both of them. I'd never heard of Stacy Lattislaw.
	4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Blerp, forgot that Women's World Cup soccer tournament kicked off today. Haven't had the TV on much these days.
	4:48pm Passaic River Blues: A-WA can do no wrong.
	4:49pm ncjay: Stacy did the original of "Jump To The Beat" - a big hit for her. Covered by Dannii Minogue (it was her first single)
	4:49pm tim from champaign: This is really cool!
	4:49pm Booz: Looking for the "select all" for the clicky-stars
	4:50pm tadpoles: Great set of songs thanks Sheila.
	4:50pm ncjay: Stacy's catalog is worth a look. I've always liked "I'm Down For You" from "Sneakin' Out".
	4:50pm Passaic River Blues: @Booz: hahaha It'd be a time-saver at this point.
	4:51pm djsheilab: Glad you're digging tim from champaign + tadpoles + Booz!
	4:53pm Michael 98145: why oh why
	4:57pm Phil: This production is a rip-off of Tom Jones "Something Bout You Baby I Like"
	5:00pm Michael 98145: Whoa. Now here is another someone i never heard of ...
	5:01pm Frank Zaatar: OK, here's your homework assignment for this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9e4ZbsoqT8
	5:06pm Michael 98145: WE did enjoy it !!!
	5:06pm Mr. Pumpy: The single of the week ruled! I just got home...and was listening in the car...killer!
	5:06pm tadpoles: Just looked up A-WA as they intrigued me.....3 sisters from Israel with the surname Haim. Weird..there's a Los Angeles band with 3 sisters called Haim from their surname Haim. Oi!
	5:07pm Mr. Pumpy: Pervy? Whips? If I knew it was gonna be that kind of show...
	5:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hoo boy, what a dork.
	5:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Mr. Road Rage...hmmmmm...micro-dingus? Me thinks yes.
	5:08pm RomanDogBird: this is the same mother that said you look like Ann Coulter, right?
	5:09pm Michael 98145: next time invite US to ride along
	5:09pm tim from champaign: Man, that's scary.
	5:09pm Michael 98145: ouch, @RDB :)
	5:09pm RomanDogBird: OH YEAH
	5:09pm djsheilab: RomanDogBird—That's my mom :)
	5:10pm listener james from westwood: Hell yeah to the Van Halen cover!
	5:10pm djsheilab: Mr. Pumpy—SWEET!
	5:10pm tim from champaign: I love Van Halen. Ain't Talkin About Love is my second favorite VH song after DOA. Good cover.
	5:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: I prefer this cover to "Panama." That one left we with an earworm.
	5:13pm P-90: OK Sheila I was cut off from commenting for a few minutes back there, so I’m belatedly voicing my enthusiasm for the Single of the Week, and the Ring My Bell cover, and this Van Halen cover while I’m at it...
	5:14pm djsheilab: P-90—That makes me very happy :)
	5:16pm Mr. Pumpy: Yeah, Sheila! That Van Halen cover was killer! If I don't tutor on Friday afternoons, which I try to avoid like leprosy, I tune in and then I'm in it until the end. Good show, mate! I have to ride it out like someone on the horse...lest I suffer withdrawals...
	5:16pm djsheilab: Fake vinyl hiss!
	5:21pm Michael 98145: slinky
	5:22pm Robin: Loving the vibe today! Summer has arrived! :-)
	5:23pm djsheilab: Thanks Robin!
	5:27pm Tommy in Neversink: Sheila B riding around the Sullivan county /Catskills on this beautiful day listening to you show is heaven
	5:28pm djsheilab: Sounds divine, Tommy in Neversink!
	5:29pm Carmichael: I'm getting bombed here at work, so no time to comment. But listening lots. Great show!
	5:30pm djsheilab: Thanks Carmichael!
	5:31pm Phillippe Bastille: This Black Snakes song sounds a lot better than my reaction when I saw a 5 footer hanging out on my cellar steps a couple days ago.
	5:32pm dale: i hate when i have the radio on as background and then i have to turn on the computer and log in and see what the magic i'm listening to is. actually i don't mind at all....this is gorgeous!
	5:34pm Mr. Pumpy: @djsheilab You've given me an idea for a niche market wherein people want really specific sampled vinyl hiss. I can end up with thousands of real samples. "What are you in the market for today, a hiss form the beginning of The Stone's Tattoo You that has been outside of it's sleeve in an attic for 20 years, or perhaps the hiss off of a bad pressing of the Urban Outfitters limited release of Shania Twain's 'Now' (limited to 100,000)? What's that, the inner groove of The Monster Mash 45 on Parrot records? Not a problem! Why I just digitized that one last Tuesday." There are a lot of distinct vinyl hisses out there. Any backers on the board here? Is this Kickstarter ready? HISS FACTORY!
	5:34pm djsheilab: Some late Friday afternoon folk for ya, Dale.
	5:35pm dano59: The smudge from the middle 8 of Herb Alpert's The Happening, please
	5:36pm P-90: Funny “hiss” is now
	5:38pm P-90: Funny that “hiss” is now a topic here, I was thinking that “Smart Boy” near the top of the show had just the right seasoning of dirt in the grooves
	5:38pm dano59: I'm at a classic car cruise-in at the mall, SBB is competing with boomy announcer man
	5:40pm tim from champaign: Oh man, good thing the McCain/Palin campaign didn't get ahold of this.
	5:40pm P-90: song about the daughter of a dentist?
	5:41pm dreamyandseedy: i need hiss and i need it LOUD. i could do a full day's work listening to hiss!
	5:41pm Tome: great show as Always Sheila B. ,,,[ covers the kid's ears]] oh a Dentist !,.! whewwww !<>!
	5:42pm Michael 98145: something to do with the Arctic, i suspect :)
	5:42pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm detecting that hiss is trending!
	5:44pm tim from champaign: I had a sketchy version of Risque Blues on vinyl. It was risque. A real mother for ya. Fluffy Hunter's version is DIRTY!
	5:46pm dano59: Millie Jackson also is not for the faint of heart
	5:46pm djsheilab: dano59—Seriously! Love how far Millie takes it!
	5:47pm Mr. Pumpy: @P-90 (I'm imagining that's an electric geetar pickup reference, I love me some P-90s) anyhow...see...'Smart Boy' had just the right grit. I'm starting this company. Anyone want to get in on the ground-floor...it will be akin to Apple starting in a garage! We can also eventually ruin a lot of great things in the world. Kidding...it's all about the hissssssssssssssss!
	5:48pm tmensighten: Does this DJ ever play Stereolab?
	5:49pm djsheilab: tmensighten—This DJ does play Stereolab. And very often bands influenced by Stereolab.
	5:51pm Phillippe Bastille: Oddly enough, there's also a band called Monolab. monolab.bandcamp.com
	5:52pm tmensighten: I hope you checked out the Sterolab reissues. Thanks for the reply.
	5:52pm Phillippe Bastille: ...who Sheila never plays... ;)
	5:53pm dano59: This is lovely
	5:53pm tmensighten: monolab looks like Aphex Twin
	5:54pm Michael 98145: Great campsite: stereolab.bandcamp.com
	5:55pm Michael 98145: As always, thank you, DJ Sheila ♫
	5:56pm tmensighten: the Mars Audio Quintette LPs look cool. I settled for the downloads though.
	5:57pm katharsis: Yes lovely
	5:57pm tmensighten: *Mars Audiac Quintet
	5:57pm listener james from westwood: Thanks muchly, Sheila!
	5:57pm ncjay: lovely stuff today Sheila! Thanks so much - see you next week!
	5:57pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for the BOOM, SheilaB. Have a great weekend everyone! Stay dry where its raining!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks DJ Sheila!
	6:00pm Michael 98145: amen
	6:00pm djsheilab: Thanks for being here with me today, friends! See ya next week! Xoxoxoxo

	3:16pm djsheilab: These Lomboy lyrics are excellent.
	3:16pm djsheilab: Hey loveless + steveo!
	3:18pm Phillippe Bastille: 'ello all (typed with a foreign accent)
	3:19pm Michael 98145: 'urricanes 'ardly ever 'appen
	3:19pm northguineahills: I was hoping the Lomboy song was about the band, Loverboy. I have some crap to get done, will be in and out...
	3:21pm djsheilab: Hey northguineahills + Phillippe Bastille!
	3:23pm Cooh John: I have fever every Friday @ 3. That is a song I collect.
	3:24pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Looking forward to the rest of the show.
	3:27pm P-90: Brilliant use of those O’Jays samples
	3:27pm Monica: mizz angie stone! she was a member of one of the earliest female hip-hop acts, The Sequence! sounding good in the hood, sheila b.!
	3:31pm mg: I think "Yesterday" is the most covered song?
	3:31pm JtotheK: Re: Covered Songs ... in the jazz world, at one point 'My Funny Valentine' was up there in cover versions. Hi SheilaB. Hi everyone.
	3:31pm tadpoles: It might be "Yesterday" unfortunately.
	3:31pm Louie: Louie Louie.
	3:32pm Michael 98145: { isn't Mary Wing our cover scientist ? } :)
	3:32pm P-90: Most covered pop song
	3:32pm P-90: “Yesterday”?
	3:32pm JtotheK: And during Little Danny's program the Cool Blue Flame we were discussing the various versions of Watermelon Man.
	3:32pm Johnny Boy: Hey Joe is one that has been covered many many times...
	3:32pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: My money for most-covered is on Louie Louie.
	3:33pm Joe B: Hey Sheila and sophisticates! Don’t get to check in often here but I always listen. I’ve also heard that “Yesterday” is the most covered song.
	3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Joe McGasko has proven that "Eleanor Rigby" reigns supreme.
	3:33pm The Oscar: Probably not radio-playable, but "Shave 'Em Dry" dispelled any illusions I had about the "squeaky-clean" past.
	3:34pm Johnny Boy: I have 170 different versions of Hey Joe on my iPod...
	3:35pm RomanDogBird: old time sleaze rules
	3:37pm djsheilab: Johnny Boy—WOAH! A "Hey Joe" show for Joe McGasko perhaps?
	3:38pm Frank Zaatar: It used to be St. Louis Blues, but now I think it's Something by George Harrison. Of course if you ask buskers around the world. it's Leonard Cohen 's Hallelujah-to the point where he pretty much disavowed the song.
	3:38pm djsheilab: Hey Joe B.! Thanks for checking in :)
	3:38pm sinner: Brown Eye'd Girl
	3:38pm djsheilab: The Oscar—Haha! Absolutely.
	3:38pm yes: Just got here... and I love it
	3:40pm djsheilab: Thanks yes!
	3:40pm djsheilab: I'll read all of these on my next mic break. Thanks for chiming in!
	3:41pm dreamyandseedy: thanks for always posting the cover art sheila! it really helps me connect with the music
	3:41pm mlsgrrl: Until this minute, I didn't know that I still had an attachment to any songs on the Flashdance soundtrack. We danced to so many of these songs in my jazz class when I was 10... Thanks Sheila!
	3:41pm queems: this sounds very carsy
	3:42pm rsj: classic, confused at first with she bop
	3:42pm djsheilab: misgrrl—Ah sweet! That soundtrack inspired my jazz dancing as a kid as well.
	3:42pm Phillippe Bastille: That sweatshirt looks like something Bill Belichek would wear (NFL reference)
	3:44pm ncjay: I think I read in the past that "Stardust" had the most cover versions. May not still be the case
	3:44pm annexia: Most Covered Songs Try: mentalfloss.com...
	3:44pm P-90: “Something” is certainly up there
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mothra !
	3:46pm ncjay: aha! It's the German-language version of "Silent Night". See here: secondhandsongs.com... (use the "Database Statistics" tab)
	3:47pm rsj: that 2 many dj's romeo mashup is worth playing
	3:47pm ncjay: heh. "Stardust" is #34. but "Summertime" is #2!
	3:47pm Cooh John: "Romeo, Romeo, where art thou?" "I am on Sophisticated Boom Boom, Juliet!"
	3:48pm diciassette: What is the opposite of a Romeo Void? I think this is it.
	3:48pm ncjay: and at least half the top 50 is christmas songs
	3:49pm Passaic River Blues: Oh man, is this gorgeous or what?
	3:49pm djsheilab: ncjay—Yeah that makes sense. Christmas ruins everything!
	3:49pm Phillippe Bastille: @Ncjay we should get Warwick to urge all of us to make home recordings of Summertime instead of the Felder crap. We could push Summertime to #1
	3:50pm katharsis: Hello all. I see horses
	3:51pm Martinibomb: Just sayin' hello to Sheila and everyone in the chat.
	3:51pm ncjay: I missed the "exclude christmas songs" checkbox - ruling those out makes the list much more readable
	3:52pm P-90: I knew the question should have been posed as: “what’s the most-covered (non-Christmas) song?”
	3:52pm Michael 98145: Hmm. Difficult to believe Satisfaction is still being covered ...
	3:52pm djsheilab: Indeed! Non-Christmas please. So what's #1? Any consensus?
	3:57pm Ingrid: Bohemian Rhapsody
	3:58pm Phillippe Bastille: The old Bell Telephone ringtone. Most covers are extremely faithful
	4:05pm Cool Runnings: Holaaas! Hace calor, verdad? Siiii, asi es...buen dia a ti Sheila!
	4:06pm ncjay: Sheila, "Summertime" is #1 once you exclude xmas songs
	4:07pm The Oscar: Ken's "Institutionalized" show is one for the ages.
	4:08pm elviscausticfellow: "Besame Mucho" has been covered a shit ton.
	4:09pm djsheilab: elviscausticfellow—Of course! That's definitely up there.
	4:09pm djsheilab: ncjay—Thanks for clarifying!
	4:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Oscar - For sure, and there was a nice Chris M New Year's Eve show with "Bye Bye Blackbird" covers.
	4:11pm yes: :) love this comp
	4:11pm Booz: Who's goin to this show tonight? See you there!
	4:12pm djsheilab: Booz—Joe McG + I will be there!
	4:13pm Booz: I'll look for you. "For this special show Sachiko will be backed by a band featuring James McNew, Steve Gunn, Liam Cunningham and TJ Maiani."
	4:14pm tim from champaign: Did Joe interview Sachiko K a few months ago?
	4:15pm djsheilab: tim from champaign—He did but it was quite awhile back now. It was his interview that led to Steve Gunn contacting her, and a big New York Times article as a result!
	4:16pm RomanDogBird: tim from champaign: www.wfmu.org...
	4:16pm tim from champaign: That's right! Thanks Sheila. I was thinking of the Steve Gunn interview where she called in. Have fun at the show!
	4:16pm Booz: @Timfromchampagne He did, and she played a very lovely set.
	4:16pm katharsis: Magical
	4:18pm Passaic River Blues: That picture of Kanenobu in the WFMU studio is almost painfully adorable.
	4:21pm Poo Man, Poo!: It’s a very, very, very fine house!
	4:23pm melinda: hi everyone
	4:24pm djsheilab: Hey Melinda + katharsis + everyone checking in. AMAZING Single of the Week coming up!!!!!
	4:25pm Asheville Jon: always awesome to hear ABBA on FMU!!!
	4:26pm tim from champaign: Holy cow! I thought this as 80s Yoko Ono. Crazy.
	4:26pm djsheilab: Asheville Jon—And this one is EPIC!
	4:27pm Asheville Jon: how so djsheilab?
	4:27pm djsheilab: Love how ABBA reference chinese food + Dallas. DEEP!
	4:30pm grtyvr: slowly getting pulled into the ABBA camp.... This one helps.
	4:30pm RomanDogBird: so glad i got turned onto ABBA a few years ago, still need to go in deep with their discography
	4:30pm Phillippe Bastille: Man, this set is killing my diet. First I look at the Cristina Quesada cover and read Cristina Quesadilla, then ABBA sings about Chinese food.
	4:30pm Michael 98145: * ring *
	4:31pm Phillippe Bastille: See, I told you guys that Bell Telephone ringtone gets covered...
	4:32pm Booz: That biew sound is one of my favorite sounds.
	4:35pm The Oscar: @Booz I've always referred to that sound as the "disco laser."
	4:38pm Michael 98145: oh, you never let us down :)
	4:38pm Booz: @TheOscar Nice.
	4:40pm Frank Zaatar: Sheila, I hope you've heard Stacy Lattislaw's Attack of the Name Game!
	4:41pm Passaic River Blues: I'm guessing Senegal or Mali based on the surname.
	4:44pm loveless: I think Stacy Lattishaw released more singles than Anita Ward and has had a longer career.
	4:45pm tim from champaign: I dug the single of the week. I love the white label cover too.
	4:46pm djsheilab: loveless—Haha! Well, glad it worked out for both of them. I'd never heard of Stacy Lattislaw.
	4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Blerp, forgot that Women's World Cup soccer tournament kicked off today. Haven't had the TV on much these days.
	4:48pm Passaic River Blues: A-WA can do no wrong.
	4:49pm ncjay: Stacy did the original of "Jump To The Beat" - a big hit for her. Covered by Dannii Minogue (it was her first single)
	4:49pm tim from champaign: This is really cool!
	4:49pm Booz: Looking for the "select all" for the clicky-stars
	4:50pm tadpoles: Great set of songs thanks Sheila.
	4:50pm ncjay: Stacy's catalog is worth a look. I've always liked "I'm Down For You" from "Sneakin' Out".
	4:50pm Passaic River Blues: @Booz: hahaha It'd be a time-saver at this point.
	4:51pm djsheilab: Glad you're digging tim from champaign + tadpoles + Booz!
	4:53pm Michael 98145: why oh why
	4:57pm Phil: This production is a rip-off of Tom Jones "Something Bout You Baby I Like"
	5:00pm Michael 98145: Whoa. Now here is another someone i never heard of ...
	5:01pm Frank Zaatar: OK, here's your homework assignment for this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9e4ZbsoqT8
	5:06pm Michael 98145: WE did enjoy it !!!
	5:06pm Mr. Pumpy: The single of the week ruled! I just got home...and was listening in the car...killer!
	5:06pm tadpoles: Just looked up A-WA as they intrigued me.....3 sisters from Israel with the surname Haim. Weird..there's a Los Angeles band with 3 sisters called Haim from their surname Haim. Oi!
	5:07pm Mr. Pumpy: Pervy? Whips? If I knew it was gonna be that kind of show...
	5:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hoo boy, what a dork.
	5:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Mr. Road Rage...hmmmmm...micro-dingus? Me thinks yes.
	5:08pm RomanDogBird: this is the same mother that said you look like Ann Coulter, right?
	5:09pm Michael 98145: next time invite US to ride along
	5:09pm tim from champaign: Man, that's scary.
	5:09pm Michael 98145: ouch, @RDB :)
	5:09pm RomanDogBird: OH YEAH
	5:09pm djsheilab: RomanDogBird—That's my mom :)
	5:10pm listener james from westwood: Hell yeah to the Van Halen cover!
	5:10pm djsheilab: Mr. Pumpy—SWEET!
	5:10pm tim from champaign: I love Van Halen. Ain't Talkin About Love is my second favorite VH song after DOA. Good cover.
	5:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: I prefer this cover to "Panama." That one left we with an earworm.
	5:13pm P-90: OK Sheila I was cut off from commenting for a few minutes back there, so I’m belatedly voicing my enthusiasm for the Single of the Week, and the Ring My Bell cover, and this Van Halen cover while I’m at it...
	5:14pm djsheilab: P-90—That makes me very happy :)
	5:16pm Mr. Pumpy: Yeah, Sheila! That Van Halen cover was killer! If I don't tutor on Friday afternoons, which I try to avoid like leprosy, I tune in and then I'm in it until the end. Good show, mate! I have to ride it out like someone on the horse...lest I suffer withdrawals...
	5:16pm djsheilab: Fake vinyl hiss!
	5:21pm Michael 98145: slinky
	5:22pm Robin: Loving the vibe today! Summer has arrived! :-)
	5:23pm djsheilab: Thanks Robin!
	5:27pm Tommy in Neversink: Sheila B riding around the Sullivan county /Catskills on this beautiful day listening to you show is heaven
	5:28pm djsheilab: Sounds divine, Tommy in Neversink!
	5:29pm Carmichael: I'm getting bombed here at work, so no time to comment. But listening lots. Great show!
	5:30pm djsheilab: Thanks Carmichael!
	5:31pm Phillippe Bastille: This Black Snakes song sounds a lot better than my reaction when I saw a 5 footer hanging out on my cellar steps a couple days ago.
	5:32pm dale: i hate when i have the radio on as background and then i have to turn on the computer and log in and see what the magic i'm listening to is. actually i don't mind at all....this is gorgeous!
	5:34pm Mr. Pumpy: @djsheilab You've given me an idea for a niche market wherein people want really specific sampled vinyl hiss. I can end up with thousands of real samples. "What are you in the market for today, a hiss form the beginning of The Stone's Tattoo You that has been outside of it's sleeve in an attic for 20 years, or perhaps the hiss off of a bad pressing of the Urban Outfitters limited release of Shania Twain's 'Now' (limited to 100,000)? What's that, the inner groove of The Monster Mash 45 on Parrot records? Not a problem! Why I just digitized that one last Tuesday." There are a lot of distinct vinyl hisses out there. Any backers on the board here? Is this Kickstarter ready? HISS FACTORY!
	5:34pm djsheilab: Some late Friday afternoon folk for ya, Dale.
	5:35pm dano59: The smudge from the middle 8 of Herb Alpert's The Happening, please
	5:36pm P-90: Funny “hiss” is now
	5:38pm P-90: Funny that “hiss” is now a topic here, I was thinking that “Smart Boy” near the top of the show had just the right seasoning of dirt in the grooves
	5:38pm dano59: I'm at a classic car cruise-in at the mall, SBB is competing with boomy announcer man
	5:40pm tim from champaign: Oh man, good thing the McCain/Palin campaign didn't get ahold of this.
	5:40pm P-90: song about the daughter of a dentist?
	5:41pm dreamyandseedy: i need hiss and i need it LOUD. i could do a full day's work listening to hiss!
	5:41pm Tome: great show as Always Sheila B. ,,,[ covers the kid's ears]] oh a Dentist !,.! whewwww !<>!
	5:42pm Michael 98145: something to do with the Arctic, i suspect :)
	5:42pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm detecting that hiss is trending!
	5:44pm tim from champaign: I had a sketchy version of Risque Blues on vinyl. It was risque. A real mother for ya. Fluffy Hunter's version is DIRTY!
	5:46pm dano59: Millie Jackson also is not for the faint of heart
	5:46pm djsheilab: dano59—Seriously! Love how far Millie takes it!
	5:47pm Mr. Pumpy: @P-90 (I'm imagining that's an electric geetar pickup reference, I love me some P-90s) anyhow...see...'Smart Boy' had just the right grit. I'm starting this company. Anyone want to get in on the ground-floor...it will be akin to Apple starting in a garage! We can also eventually ruin a lot of great things in the world. Kidding...it's all about the hissssssssssssssss!
	5:48pm tmensighten: Does this DJ ever play Stereolab?
	5:49pm djsheilab: tmensighten—This DJ does play Stereolab. And very often bands influenced by Stereolab.
	5:51pm Phillippe Bastille: Oddly enough, there's also a band called Monolab. monolab.bandcamp.com
	5:52pm tmensighten: I hope you checked out the Sterolab reissues. Thanks for the reply.
	5:52pm Phillippe Bastille: ...who Sheila never plays... ;)
	5:53pm dano59: This is lovely
	5:53pm tmensighten: monolab looks like Aphex Twin
	5:54pm Michael 98145: Great campsite: stereolab.bandcamp.com
	5:55pm Michael 98145: As always, thank you, DJ Sheila ♫
	5:56pm tmensighten: the Mars Audio Quintette LPs look cool. I settled for the downloads though.
	5:57pm katharsis: Yes lovely
	5:57pm tmensighten: *Mars Audiac Quintet
	5:57pm listener james from westwood: Thanks muchly, Sheila!
	5:57pm ncjay: lovely stuff today Sheila! Thanks so much - see you next week!
	5:57pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for the BOOM, SheilaB. Have a great weekend everyone! Stay dry where its raining!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks DJ Sheila!
