"Tamiflu ... Tamiflu ... Tamiflu's in love"
The ole hooty-owl hooty-hoos to the dove,
"Tamiflu ... Tamiflu ... Tamiflu's in love"

Does my lover feel
What I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully,
You'd think that he could hear

Wish I knew if he knew
What I'm dreamin' of
Tamiflu ... Tamiflu ... Tamiflu's in love

Wed. 4/29/09 9:39am From: dale

Todays Programme: "The Swine Flu Upskirt Panty Shots Hour"

Wed. 4/29/09 9:42am From: Some Guy

Can you get Swine Flu from eating pork products?

Wed. 4/29/09 9:42am From: still b/p

Please to be mashing Peggy Lee's Fever and Filipino Box Spring Hog, Tom Waits.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:43am From: dc pat

ok, now we need a pic of Sofia Loren--preferably holding up a can of olive oil...

Wed. 4/29/09 9:43am From: Jim

Last suggestion: anything by Durocs.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:44am From: dc pat

Wed. 4/29/09 9:44am From: dale

Wed. 4/29/09 9:44am From: Flue Coordination Dept.

Notice: For fussy people, we have Halal Flu or Kosher Flu as options. Thank you, and have a nice disease.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:44am From: bbell

No, you can't get swine flu from eating pork; however, now that all of the good fat has been bred out of commercially produced pork it isn't worth eating anyway. Perhaps this is the pigs' revenge.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:45am From: some other guy

some guy; no you cannot get swine flu from pork. it is a respiratory virus passed through air-borne water molecules, coughs. etc.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:45am From: BSI

"Infected" by The The would be an idea, but only if played half-speed. It's better that way. Many things are better that way.
...wheeze, koff-koff...... snif......

Wed. 4/29/09 9:45am From: Will Smith

Gettin' piggy widdit...

Wed. 4/29/09 9:47am From: Song Interpreter

And then you die. Get fucking used to it.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:47am From: Cecile

Good Morning, Ken.

Good morning, board.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:48am From: Cecile

Wed. 4/29/09 9:49am From: Cecile

YIS. ELIS.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:50am From: Lyrics Guy Again

Fim do caminho = End of the road. Fim da vida = End of Life

Wed. 4/29/09 9:50am From: dale

Wed. 4/29/09 9:51am From: John from Oslo

Thanks Ken, that version of Aguas de Marco is on my top ten list ; )

Espesially the laughing part is beautiful!

Wed. 4/29/09 9:51am From: -max-

"Mexico" by Bob Moore!

Wed. 4/29/09 9:52am From: World Health Organization

Brigitte, raising your skirt will not prevent the swine from being attracted to you, quite the opposite.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:52am From: JCityJensen

ever catch the the trader joes version of this song :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdB7GDZY3Pk

Wed. 4/29/09 9:52am From: Cecile

the laughing part makes it, John.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:52am From: Cecile

Oh, hai, Ken - Chico Science, maybe?

Wed. 4/29/09 9:53am From: Cecile

JCJ, I love that! It's really superb.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:53am From: Ken

But you know what's disappointing? Elis would laugh in that same part every time she performed the song. Just like Ella Fitzgerald would always pretend to forget the lyrics to Mack The Knife.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:53am From: Cecile

aw, thank you Ken.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:53am From: -max-

Wed. 4/29/09 9:54am From: fishmonkeystew

Perhaps something by Made in Mexico?

Wed. 4/29/09 9:55am From: Cecile

Hey, scripted Elis laughing is a whole lot better than a whole lot of other things.

I have been loving The Widow by the Mars Volta lately. The ultimate border band.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:55am From: Ella and Elis

That's entertainment....

Wed. 4/29/09 9:55am From: Lizardner Dave

The funniest part of this show will be when Ken gets to the end without playing a single pig song. Genius.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:56am From: l

THANK YOU KEN!!
Great show so far!!

Wed. 4/29/09 9:57am From: dei x

"I have the swine's flu and he has mine" - paraphrasing Eddie Campbell. Go read "The Fate of the Artist" and everything else he's done.

Wed. 4/29/09 9:57am From: John from Oslo

OINK! if you love Ken

Wed. 4/29/09 9:57am From: Hmm

Maybe he's just collecting playlist ideas for other people. If they want them! :-P

Wed. 4/29/09 9:58am From: BSI

This whole thing has SICK PUP by BURIED DROOG in my head now (mega-underground Baltimore-area band, '80s) ... Ring any bells, fellow DC/Balto folks, ex-listeners to Steve & SKizz on WCVT?

Wed. 4/29/09 9:58am From: PMD

Oink!
And Lizardner Dave, you are likely correct.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:04am From: Predictive Text Box

Hey I have feelings you know.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:04am From: PMD

I like it better when Ken mangles German, not French

Wed. 4/29/09 10:05am From: Some Guy

Peg Virus Please, let Ken go. Take me instead dammit, take me

Wed. 4/29/09 10:06am From: Lizardner Dave

@max - I have tons of faith in Ken, and I think it would be hysterical if he kept asking for requests here and not playing a damn one of them.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:06am From: cheri

How bout a Clinic song. They wear masks. Return of Evil Bill.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:09am From: paul

M.I.A. - "Bird Flu"? or is that too obvious?

Wed. 4/29/09 10:09am From: thelma

Initials B.B. is pronounced "Bay Bay" as in bébé-- or "babe', Yes, she was married when she recorded it and she couldn't release it, until much later, 1980s, when she needed to raise money for the cause of animal rights.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:10am From: Vicki

Wed. 4/29/09 10:10am From: JCityJensen

Wed. 4/29/09 10:10am From: paul

ooh rutles!!!!

Wed. 4/29/09 10:10am From: Cecile

any song about BBQ would work

Wed. 4/29/09 10:10am From: dei x

Laurie Anderson does the same thing - capitalizes on the feeling of spontaneity by working it in to the performance. Why do we feel gypped at that - is it a last vestige of entertainment purity?

Wed. 4/29/09 10:10am From: Cecile

Yeah, Joe. Ppeopel really underestimate it.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:11am From: cheri

Wed. 4/29/09 10:12am From: brigitte

I can't believe no one has mentioned The Beatles' "Piggies."

Wed. 4/29/09 10:13am From: trrrish

It doesn't look like 'upskirt photography' to me.

It's 'show and tell'

Wed. 4/29/09 10:13am From: dale

Wed. 4/29/09 10:14am From: Hipsters

that Bill Ward's a pretty kickin' drummer.

Wed. 4/29/09 10:27am From: War Pigs

Yeah, you could say it is anti-war:

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

Three Little Pigs
Artist: Green Jelly

(Spoken)
Why don't you, sit right back,
and I, I may tell you, a tale.
A tale of three, little pigs,
and a BIG, BAD, WOLFFF.

Well the first little piggy, well he was kinda hick.
He spent most of his days, just a dreamin of the city.
And then one day, he bought a guitar.
He moved to Hollywood, to become a star.
But, living on the farm, he knew nothing of the city.
Built his house out of straw, what a pity.
And then one day, jammin on some chords,
along came the wolf, knocking on his door.

(Chorus)
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!
Well I'm huffin, I'm puffin, I'll blow your house in.
Huffin, puffin, blow your house in.
Huffin, puffin, blow your house in.
Huffin and a puffin and I'll blow your house in!!!

Well the second little piggy, well he was kinda stoked.
He spent most of his day just in ganja smokin.
Huffin and a puffin down on Venice Beach.
Getting paid money for religious speech.
He built his shelter from what he garbage picked.
Mostly made up of old cans and sticks.
Then one day he was cranking out Bob Marley,
and along came the Wolf on his big bad Harley.

(Chorus)

Well the third little piggy, the grade A student.
His daddy was a rock star, named Pig Nugent.
Earned his Masters Degree, from Harvard College.
Built his house from his architect knowledge.
A tri-level mansion, Hollywood Hills.
Daddy's rock stardom, paid for the bills.
And then one day came the old house smasher
the BIG BAD WOLF THE LITTLE PIGGY SLASHER.

(Chorus)

Well the big bad Wolf,
well he huffed, and he puffed, all that he could.
And low and behold the little piggy's house stood.
"IT'S MADE OUT OF CONCRETE!" the little piggy shouted.
The wolf just frowned, as he pouted.
So they called nine-eleven, like any piggy would.
They sent out RAMBO, just as fast, as they could.

(Rambo)
"YO, WOLF-FACE, I'M YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, YOUR ASS IS MINE!!!"

Well the wolf fell dead as you can plainly see.
So thats to end the story, for you and me.
If you still give a listen, you just may, here a big wolf or little piggy say.

(Chorus)

"And the moral of the story is, ' A band with no talent can easily amuse
idiots, with a stupid, puppet show."

"I'm a Hog for You, Baby," by the Coasters.

Also, there's a song called (I think) "Do the Pig," but sadly I can't remember who does it.

By the way, Beefheart to Waits is a brilliant segue. Did you know that around the time of "Swordfish Trombones," Beefheart became convinced that Waits was stealing his stuff? (I think he was right!)

Also, how about "Respect Yourself" by the Staple Singers? It includes the immortal line "Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution."

Ken - here are the phone numbers for the Black Cat (202.667.4490) and Iota (703.522.8340). I am sure they would hook you up with tickets. Get working. This is a brilliant idea of mine. Remember, you are a global radio station. You are bigger than the rest.

I've never heard this song. Where the hell did you go to 8th grade?!?

Wed. 4/29/09 11:33am From: GP

I swear without looking at the playlist, this sounded like Insane Clown Posse.....of which I'm sure they have some appropriate songs for today.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:34am From: grubbus

Carmicheal the only thing better than this song is the video

Wed. 4/29/09 11:34am From: Steve

This song was a big hit on MTV for a few weeks, which meant it fell quite easily into the DJ's playlist.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:34am From: Danne D

man this was a staple on MTV back in the day

Wed. 4/29/09 11:35am From: Esaily Persuaded

See you Ken, I have t go get a shot.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:35am From: Nick the Bard

To bad it's the lame ass radio edit of Three Little Pigs :/

And in 8th grade, that was pretty much the only cassette I listened to for like, 4 or 5 months

Wed. 4/29/09 11:36am From: dc pat

Iota!? Who cares about that? What about Velvet Lounge and Comet Ping Pong??

Wed. 4/29/09 11:38am From: BSI

Iota, Velvet Lounge, whatever, it's all closer than Hoboken... Plus, if you can get black-and-white alien vampire fly woman over there to show up, I'm absolutely there. With a bib.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:38am From: dc pat

Doug from DC can probably list off 10 great venues in dc to see bands.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:38am From: Virginia

Velvet Lounge (202.462.3213); Comet Ping Pong (202.364.0404)

Wed. 4/29/09 11:39am From: doug from dc

dc pat, the Velvet Lounge in DC doesn't have advance ticket sales. Strictly a stamp at the door. Not sure about comet ping pong, but i suspect it's the same. I think they'd have to stick with Ticketmaster-serviced venues.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:39am From: PMD

I'd volunteer to call them (Iota, etc) for you Ken, but that would make me ineligible for tickets. I'd also suggest Jammin Java: http://www.jamminjava.com/ Phone: 703.255.1566

Wed. 4/29/09 11:40am From: doug from dc

but correct me if i'm wrong...i'm always up for free admission.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:40am From: dc pat

thanks Virginia...

Oh doug, didn't think of that...duh.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:41am From: Carmichael

These guys are just your style, Ken. Used to see 'em on Mike Douglas.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:42am From: buddys guy

this little piggie went to mexico, this little piggie stayed home...

Wed. 4/29/09 11:42am From: Ralphine

"I'm Wearing a Mask Because I Don't Want to Catch the Swine Flu on My Trip to Mexico"? Can't think of the group that did it, though.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:42am From: Feral Cat

Bernie Madoff sound bites plus oinks would be pigtazzztic!!

Wed. 4/29/09 11:44am From: Jøe Steele

I might just leave the PB&J in the fridge and go for a ham sandwich after the show.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:44am From: Scotta G

How about the song "Makin' Bacon'" by The Rotters ?

Wed. 4/29/09 11:45am From: paul

piggled!!!

Wed. 4/29/09 11:45am From: paul

how about "ice ice bacon" by the trotters?

Wed. 4/29/09 11:45am From: fishmonkeystew

Seems like the Dow likes the Swine flu. Up 150 points.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:45am From: GP

This flu is not Kosher...not Kosher at all....

"The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday"

Wed. 4/29/09 11:46am From: Scotta G

Sorry -NOT the Rotters, it was The Pork Dukes -" Making Bacon" from 77.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:46am From: Gonzo

It's about time that you worked in the glorious pig diva.

Yes, I will be having ham sandwich for lunch today! Not planned, just ironic.

I will have Pig Newtons for dessert after lunch.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:54am From: Carmichael

Whoa! This sounds EXACTLY like Pink Floyd.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:55am From: RagnarR in SF Bay

So...is this creepy robot internet guy trying to pick up on the girl or the pig?

Wed. 4/29/09 11:56am From: Cecile

I thought you could snuggle with clothes on.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:56am From: buddys guy

you know she will give in eventually

Wed. 4/29/09 11:56am From: GP

Is this the creepy Stephen Hawking?

Wed. 4/29/09 11:57am From: doug from dc

OK, here's the list of dc venues, with all necessary caveats:
Velvet Lounge (saw Psychedelic Horseshit there last night)
Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center (all Sonic Circuits events now, Jeremiah Cymerman this weekend)
Galaxy Hut (down to two nights of live music a week, but the excellent beer selection is always there, and good music)
Comet Ping Pong (extra credit for most improved)
Black Cat (still can bring it)
9:30 Club (very rarely has anything good, but when it does the sound system rocks)
DC9 (very rarely has anything good, and has same ownership as the Blowtel, but I saw Earthless there recently, so some points)
Big Bear Cafe (mostly alt-rock, but points for hosting Talibam! recently)
Jammin' Java (too bad so little good here, it's near my house)
State Theater (has prog rock, sometimes, Van der Graf Generator coming up, enjoy the two-drink *maximum*)
Rock'n'Roll Blowtel (Nazi d-bags, and no good music anymore)

Wed. 4/29/09 11:57am From: lee

cecile
only at cuddle parties

Wed. 4/29/09 11:57am From: Carmichael

A Pink Floyd/Stephen Hawking mashup. Cool.

Wed. 4/29/09 11:57am From: doug from dc

Black Cat would be my recommendation for DC ticket give-aways, BTW.

Wed. 4/29/09 12:00pm From: doug from dc

chris, uh, yeah Solly's Tavern. I forgot the venue where I'm playing on May 17th! (forgive the shameless self-promotion).

Wed. 4/29/09 12:01pm From: Ghengis Jung

Everyone at my office is standing together, singing, and swaying. This might be the last time we are all together like this, before we die. Those of us who live, we'll always remember this moment. When the world was still beautiful. Before THE SWINE FLU!!!

Wed. 4/29/09 12:01pm From: doug from dc

PMD, I dropped out of Facebook. But look for DougfromDC on Twitter.

Wed. 4/29/09 12:01pm From: annie

Everybody hold hands and sing

Wed. 4/29/09 12:02pm From: Megan

This is what happens when CDC workders get drunk and cut loose.

Wed. 4/29/09 12:02pm From: Carmichael

That was better than a Mitch Miller album.

Wed. 4/29/09 12:03pm From: GP

Woah, just read this whole DC venue thing on comments. What happened here?

Fri. 5/1/09 11:51am From: Bob Loblaw

Sweet Jesus! Genius show.

The apocalyptic decrees of our news agencies surrounding the bacon flu bring to mind one of the finest visual sequences in one of the finer recent "man is dying"-genre filmes, Children of Men:

This is a couple of days late, but Bo Carter's "Pig Meat is what I Crave" would have been my suggestion.

Thu. 6/4/09 1:13pm From: Luis Vazquez

Thanks for playing my "Pandemic Flu Song". I had no idea it would have such an impact. BTW, I do radio at times at WCBN - your old haunt. Below are the lyrics to the song:
I Can’t Help Catching a Deadly Flu
Lyrics by Luis Vazquez, copyright 2006
Sung to the tune of “I can’t help falling in love with you” by George Weiss - Hugo Peretti - Luigi Creatore

Economists say, surgical masks will do
So I can’t help catching a deadly flu
Public Health
Where the hell are you!
Help us prevent catching the deadly flu

Like a nasal flow, droplets in the air
H5N1 goes, airborne everywhere
Shake my hand, touch your eyes and nose too
And you can’t help passing the deadly flu

Cover up your nose, wrap with panty hose
Don’t you wonder why?
N95s in short supply?
Shake my hand, touch your eyes and nose too
And we can’t help catching a deadly flu
And we can’t help catching a deadly flu
