The Codger must have helped him haul all that Patti Page. Although Patti was jailbait when OC was in his prime or primo.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

MP3s are probably the "lightest", at least because of their reduced size and compression. WAV files are rather large, and seem to have an "emptiness" like multiple unused channels on them.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

@G: Too young, too pop for him, but the Codger probably enjoyed Patti nonetheless. Just like when Irwin played Miley Cyrus, that's like when the Codger listened to Patti Page, I bet.

But to be fair, I'm also such a pushover. British accent >= 50% of getting me.

Matt from Springfield:

Wooo! Tame Impala's reached the school chorus circuit! Maybe we could have other Langley School Project(s) from PS 22!
  3:33pm
rrg:

Disney's stable is always full with new starlets. Bridgit Mendler, Debbie Ryan, many more.

I don't like the word "stable" in this context. Let's pick another one.
  3:35pm
rrg:

I thought for a second it might be the same school for which Gilbert is doing the comedy benefit (his daughter's school), but that's PS 11, not PS 22 (just checked).
  3:36pm

Word. I don't like the WORD "stable" (not "world").

Maybe Irwin can fix that for me.

Doug Schulkind on the other hand, is an editing slave! Make a typo sometime and you'll see! ;)

@rrg: I do like that he took the name of a particular British general, but Calypsonian and dub performers are BIG on British honorifics. As they should be, it cements their status as fine musicians.

And woah! I'm already havin' a ball with "Learnin' My Latin"! This is wonderful!

And, comes from a time when this song had relevance, when many schools still required Latin courses. That would have made a great Sesame Street/Electric Company song, if those HIPPIES gave a crap about Latin! Hmmph!
  4:12pm

I love this song as sung by Whispering Jack and by Ruth Etting (and played on the Codger's program at one time or another). Never heard Patti's version before.

I still think that's what those damned Jesuits taught me. But they could have been simplifying it for some reason.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:19pm
Matt from Springfield:

@rrg: It's still an elective in most places, but of course you'd have to fit it in among all the other electives you want to take and required courses, so the majority don't. Particularly since room for only one foreign language is usually factored into the syllabus.

But like cursive writing nowadays, when something's no longer required, watch competency in the topic (and in general) plummet in coming years.

I never took a Latin class (sondern wählte ich Deutsch), but I kept it up as a hobby with a friend who took it (before taking Japanese afterwards). So while not knowing conjugations and stuff offhand (See: The Life of Brian!) Latin's one of those languages you haven't studied but still know a bit about.

I'll have to ask if my Grandma remembers this "Mama From The Train"--she's a lifelong Pennsylvanian.

And though not always "cold", the English of PA Dutch descendants remains quaint to this day. Prepositions especially are not what you'd expect in Standard American English.
  4:28pm
rrg:

But the Codger wouldn't have approved because I'm sure it's an LP and not a 78.

So it WAS a 78! I stand corrected.

quoth wiki: "The title comes from Patti Page's 1956 hit song, "Mama from the Train (A Kiss, A Kiss)". The film was inspired by the 1951 Alfred Hitchcock thriller Strangers on a Train, which also plays a role in the film."

Matt from Springfield:

"Written by Jerome "Doc" Pomus and Mort Shuman, first made popular by Andy Williams in a 1963 record release" -- mentions Patti has sung it, but doesn't say when.

Also of note: "In one of Kermit Schafer's blooper books, it says that an announcer introduced the song as "Can't Get Used to Using You"."

I second rrg on that--I can't estimate how many times I played "Doggie," alternating with Soupy Sales's "Do the Mouse." C'mon, play that Doggie song.

If that song is played I'll have to disappear. Not that it's anyone's loss but mine (once the song ends).

AP, it's 2 minutes and 30 seconds long. When it starts, turn off WFMU for that long. Then come back.

Matt from Springfield:

@Irwin: I should mention that last week I was at a Kohl's store, tracking down a number of things and hearing their piped music of inoffensive, palatable A/C hits of "decade, decade, and TODAY!" for a good while. Typical of stores...When all of a sudden the next song is a great pop song that I recognize: this is a WFMU song! I couldn't remember the name but had learned it through your playing it.

I looked it up -- sure enough Camera Obscura's "French Navy"! In the middle of an otherwise easy listening dreckfest of piped music! Then it went back to the usual stuff after that but what an inspiring gem thrown in the middle! There's a ghost in the machine, I hope!
  5:22pm
Irwin:

Laura: Got 'em all. Did I miss anything else?
  5:24pm
Laura L:

One more--"With" doing in "Music Sounds Better With You"--get that big W down! Thank you!
  5:24pm
rrg:

Laura, would you lowercase "With" in "Music Sounds Better With You"?

I would. But I can be talked out of it.

Beat me to it. Again!

Game on.

No, just kidding. I'm a sweetie. There's no game.

And Satan made you upper case "Of" and "The" in the BÖC listing and miss putting the umlaut on the album title there. I'm uncomfortable about the lack of commas in "Rain Rain Rain" too... @rrg, I know it's all in good copyediting fun.

Rain Rain Rain is the actual title. The B'OC screwups are fixed.
