Hey everyone
Stony here
Have we got a show?
Have we got a show?
Well, I’ll tellya
Indeed we do.
Buck is in the control room
Givin’ me that crankin’ motion
Which means he wants me
To move this baby along
Which I’ll gladly do
Because our first tune
Is from a guy
Who was once an integral part of the
Velvet Underground
And our first tune goes back to those MTV days
In the 80s when the music videos were actually great.
This tune and video in particular happened to be on
When I proposed to my ex
Talk about foreshadowing
I should have been payin’ closer attention to the tune
When I popped the question.
In any event, I put this as one of my top 2
Lou Reed tunes
And with so much marital disfunction in society
I’m sure that many of Yinz out there can identify
With the lyrics of this great tune
Here’s
Lou Reed with Red Joy Stick
https://youtu.be/2zWwmfQvdCI?si=DLkWyFLUTOZDi1ZS
Yep that’s a great tune alright.
So great in fact that
Our assistant executive producer of everything
Suzi went into her personal stash of CD’s
Remember those
….CDs…
And handed this next one to me
And yes indeed it will fit in nicely here
Because it is a great tune
That’s actually about the artist that you just heard
Here’s
Liz Phair with
Appropriately enough… Hey Lou
https://youtu.be/K4LcFHMjH9k?si=g1KtIaklq3aUUlIB
Next up we travel once again across the pond.
We’ve have sort of made a habit…a pleasant one…
Of turning on the tunes they like up there
Up North
…that is in northern England
Where they seem to not be able
to get enough of American soul music
..especially the dancin’ kind
This next tune and the lady dancin’
Are sure to brighten anyone’s day.
Here’s a tune originally done by
Stevens and Foster called I Want to Be Love
https://youtu.be/TapWMAVAtqo?si=a0BjKj6i2TjZM88J
okay I’m lookin’ over at Buck in the control booth
and he’s pointin’ at me
and mouthin’ “you’re the man”
Yeah, right!
Buck only butters me up like this
and says somethin’ like that
When he wants somethin’ from me
And in this case,….
Oh,….
I see
….
Yeah
Okay
……
Just as I thought
Folks, apparently Rufus Coldwater can’t be with us tonight
Now what?
Just a second folks
….
….
Folks, you won’t believe it
But our GURU
Whom we haven’t heard from in ages
Has just called in
Suzi took the call
And she says that GURU says
“never fear”
That’s easy for him to say
Anyway, Suzi says that
GURU suggests we play
A tune
And I must admit
That it’s a real rockin’ tune
In fact my boyz the Who did this
On their greatest of alltime Live at Leads album
But what’s this?
GURU says that this is a better version
A better version than the Who’s version?
Suzi…tell him he truly is nuts.
Suzi says that GURU says to shut up
And just trust him.
Well, what can I say?
I mean after all GURU is GURU
Our great sage and spiritual guide
….musically speaking of course.
If GURU says its THAT good
I’m at least a little curious.
In any event…
Folks here’s a great great rockin’ tune
So without further ado here are
The Twilighters with their version of Shakin’ All Over
https://youtu.be/6P1F6UTwGDI?si=fziHQXMnlqZIFBgs
Ewweee doggies.
I gotta admit Roger, Pete, the Ox and Moony
Aren’t anywhere near as good lookin’
And they certainly can’t move like that babe…
…for sure!
Okay, well since Rufus is a no show
We got time for an extra tune
And Yinz all know me
I’m a great fan of our next artist
And firmly believe that had he not died
So young
that he would have been
A superstar
I am constantly amazed at how many great tunes
This guy wrote….yet you never hear a word
About him.
Which is a big reason why we at DJ Ltd
are here.
To make sure that artists like our next one
Are never forgotten.
It might not be Sunday yet
But any time is a great time
To learn the Word
..especially if it’s comin from
Johnny Horton
And here he is singin’ a tune called
Blind Barnabus
https://youtu.be/glCY49n0hfI?si=GVG-o1tBAuKC9YEG
Now wasn’t that great?
Now I definitely have the spirit
But now that we’ve purified our soul….maybe
I think we deserve to allow ourselves to indulge
In more worldly pleasures with a group
that in the last few months or so
Has found more and more ways
to creep into our must play list.
Here folks, once again
Are the Hawkmen with
Soulful Dress
https://youtu.be/AkM5Ax1fuCM?si=etnPsPN1hU-2M0Tm
Well, congratulations folks
Yinz have survived another edition
of DJ Ltd
Buck is over there in the booth
Ripping his finger across his throat
Telling me we are way over time
And we gotta get out of here
…but wait… what’s this?
He’s holdin’ up 3 fingers
…what’s that Buck?
….Folks it seems we have 3 minutes
So I’ll just send all Yinz home tonight
With one final tune
That Yinz can listen to
As we go off the air
So, with that I’ll just say
goodbye
for Buck, Suzi, GURU and myself
And just remember
Don’t let the Bed Bugs Bite. !!
Here for the trip home is Steam with
Na Na Hey Hey
