	4:04pm David in California: ↳ Song: "Mr. Popeil" by "Weird Al Yankovic" Hello, Greg. Al is doing a very creditable Fred Schneider here.

	4:11pm HyperDose: Love today's theme! Weird Al was my very first concert
	4:11pm spacebrother: ↳ HyperDose @4:11 Hey HyperD!
	4:12pm spacebrother: ↳ HyperDose @4:11 Ha, DEVO was mine!
	4:12pm Aitch: Weird Al playing Sydney, but no-one will come with me
	📖 4:13pm WR: While not overtly parodic, still finding humor in his "in the style ofs".
	4:13pm Sem: Hey, Spacebrother, and brother and sisters from another Mother.
	4:14pm Sem: brothers
	4:15pm spacebrother: ↳ Aitch @4:12 I would fly out there, but I's po. He has a pretty extensive back catalog, I didn't realize until i started putting this show together.
	📖 4:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "You Make Me" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I thought "Oingo Boingo" within like 5 seconds of this song starting.
	4:15pm spacebrother: ↳ Sem @4:13 Hey Sem!
	4:15pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:15 It's pretty perfect.
	4:16pm Aitch: Just looked, was last Monday..
	4:17pm Sem: Al is one of my great pleasures in life.
	4:17pm spacebrother: ↳ Aitch @4:16 :(
	4:19pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Good Old Days" by "Weird Al Yankovic" Ha!
	4:20pm ike-o: Peace
	4:21pm ike-o: Love this look at Al's work
	4:22pm spacebrother: ↳ ike-o @4:20 Hello -ike-o!
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Greg, spacebrothers, spacesisters
	4:22pm ike-o: And one of my favorite whose line games
	4:24pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:22 Greetings!
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: the police... maybe a little better. was the last one Warren Zevon, or Dean Freedman?
	4:24pm John R.: SGB: Excellent selections! Greg, Have every listened to Todd R. and Utopia’s take on the Beatles : Deface the Music? Kind of in the vain of The Rutles, but like these tracks, stand on their own.
	4:24pm JetBoy of Astoria: That’s a great Stewart Copeland impression the drummer is doing
	4:24pm Dean: James Taylor
	4:24pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:24 I'll reveal it in the back-announce.
	4:25pm spacebrother: ↳ Dean @4:24 Bingo!
	📖 4:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:24 James Taylor, I thought?
	4:25pm spacebrother: ↳ John R. @4:24 I love that album.
	4:25pm Dean: For some reason lately I've been buying up JT albums, listening to them, and really enjoying them.
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: haha...JT. i was going to ask if i should keep guessing! i didn't think it was Zevon because the lyrics are too much exactly like his!
	4:28pm Barno in Akron: TMBG
	4:28pm spacebrother: ↳ Barno in Akron @4:28 YES!
	4:29pm Barno in Akron: This is one of my favorite Weird Al tunes - It's perfectly TMBG
	4:29pm spacebrother: ↳ Dean @4:25 Never could get into his stuff for some reason.
	4:29pm spacebrother: ↳ Barno in Akron @4:29 It's spot on.
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: wish i'd heard the others. wouldn't have gotten oingo boingo because i disengaged from all those standard 80s formula crappy crap quickly enough back then to differentiate between them.
	4:31pm Aitch: reminding me of what 80s radio sounded like, scary times
	4:32pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:30 I never thought of OB as formulaic. It BECAME formulaic. They played for free at my college to promo their first album, so my exposure to them was different. And they were from L.A.
	4:33pm Barno in Akron: Huey Lewis and the News?
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: yeah this is spot-on. ...it must be pretty easy to parody certain bands, like the talking head -that really just became a parody of themselves after the 4th album... or jethro tull -obviously
	📖 4:33pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I'm So Sick Of You" by "Weird Al Yankovic" Joe Jackson? Wow, who'd think to parody him.
	4:33pm spacebrother: ↳ Barno in Akron @4:33 I think it's supposed to be Elvis Costello.
	4:34pm spacebrother: The next one is really easy, and amazing.
	4:34pm Barno in Akron: ↳ spacebrother @4:33 Hahaha! I can see that now :)
	📖 4:34pm Mr Fab: I was just gonna say! Yep, EC. Haha, I used to get him and Joe Jackson confused.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: i'm not thinkinhg Joe Jackson at all. maybe squeeze? or elvis costello?
	4:34pm Dean: Def EC.
	4:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This ending is very Elvis Costello. Great show, spacebro!
	4:36pm spacebrother: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @4:35 Very. And thank you!
	4:36pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Zappa?
	4:36pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @4:36 what else? was my first thought too.
	4:37pm Dean: Osmond Bros. meets Zappa
	4:37pm Sem: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @4:36 Vocal style quite similar, certainly.
	4:37pm spacebrother: ↳ Dean @4:37 LOL!
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: Dean i was thinking Zappa meets beach boys... but then, they weren't that different!
	4:38pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Sem @4:37 Plus the xylophones and breaks with funny rifs
	📖 4:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Genius in France" by "Weird Al Yankovic" THis is amazing. Even includes the doo-wop. So many Zappa references.
	4:38pm Sem: Jerry Lewis was considered a genius in France.
	4:38pm John R.: Whoa… “Super Zappaesgue”!
	4:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Mr Fab @4:38 SO MANY references. Really amazing!
	4:39pm Sem: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @4:38 Ruth Underwood-style xylophone runs...
	4:40pm Sem: that's right
	4:40pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Sem @4:39 yep
	4:40pm Sem: multiple time signatures
	4:41pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Sem @4:40 check!
	4:41pm spacebrother: This is pretty much a masterpiece.
	4:41pm Jan Turkenburg: brass arrangements
	📖 4:41pm Mr Fab: and length!
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: spacebrother @432 i've heard a few songs only, probably, but i remember when oingo boingo had that hit (if they had more than 1, then it was the first one) it just sounded like more of the usual crap to me...fueling my complete withdrawal from pop/rock music until the pixies came.
	4:42pm Jan Turkenburg: I didn't see that banjo coming however
	4:42pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 I can totally see how that would happen.
	4:42pm Sem: www.reddit.com...
	4:43pm Dean: Saw Oingo Boingo as Mystic Knights of... when they did a weird local TV show in the LA area. I seem to remember it was in black-and-white, and the band wore gorilla outfits.
	4:44pm spacebrother: This song is entirely palindromes.
	4:44pm Dean: Sure as heck sounded like George Duke tickling the silicon ivories.
	4:44pm wenzo: Hey howdy
	4:44pm JetBoy of Astoria: I think I know this one!!
	4:44pm wenzo: Hi Jan 👋
	4:44pm Sem: 1st LP I bought: Weasels Ripped My Flesh. Even that was a melange, of sorts.
	4:45pm spacebrother: ↳ Dean @4:43 They were on the Gong Show at the time too.
	4:45pm ike-o: Unfortunately many bands in the 80s were awesome before they got popular
	4:45pm spacebrother: ↳ wenzo @4:44 Hey Wenzo!
	4:45pm ike-o: Before/until
	4:45pm spacebrother: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @4:44 Forgot to say hi!
	4:46pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ wenzo @4:44 👀 wenzo!
	📖 4:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Bob" by "Weird Al Yankovic" So many Dylan parodies. Such a fat target. Even Simon & Garfunkel couldn't resist, and Paul Simon is not known for his sense of humor (to put it mildly).
	4:47pm ike-o: Here's yer Beach boys?
	📖 4:47pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Pancreas" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I was hoping you'd play this! Truly incredible. Like the Zappa one, so many Beach Boys references.
	4:47pm coelacanth∅: ...so i should dabble in oingo boingo. it wouldn't be the first artist to experience a change in my perception... although i'd put money on only a marginal acceptance!
	4:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I had no idea that Weird Al recorded so many "In The Style Of" parodies! Was only really familiar with Dare to be Stupid (because it's so spot-on).
	4:48pm coelacanth∅: well, both the beach boys and Zappa were pretty formulaic after all. their own formulas, but still formulas.
	4:49pm Dean: By the time OB joined A&M they had completely lost my attention.
	4:49pm ike-o: If nothing else it's fun ti try to imagine how that was bleeding edge technology
	📖 4:49pm Mr Fab: I played this for someone studying to be a medical assistant, who said it was scientifically accurate. Al does his homework!
	4:50pm Dean: Lynwood is just north of Compton, and it's where WAY grew up. Nice connection there.
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: okay Dean that helps, thanks
	4:51pm HyperDose: Straight Outta Lynwood engineered by Rafael Serrano. I'm a fan!
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: hahaha... he could've gotten sued for this one
	4:51pm spacebrother: That's actually Ray Manzerek playing keys on this track.
	4:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spacebrother @4:51 oh good thing!
	4:52pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:52 Maybe that's why!
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: this is genius!
	4:54pm Scott_Oz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 Ain't it!
	4:54pm Dean: Sounds like Morrison doing Zappa.
	4:54pm wenzo: I wonder if any of these were inspired by actual ads or if he just made them all up
	4:55pm spacebrother: ↳ wenzo @4:54 Defintely inspired, at least.
	4:55pm Jan Turkenburg: Amazing episode, Greg. Learned a lot!
	4:55pm HyperDose: Wayne's World 2 is one of the few sequels that is just as good as the first movie
	4:56pm spacebrother: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @4:55 Thanks Jan! I had fun putting it together.
	4:56pm Scott_Oz: ↳ HyperDose @4:55 Or bad?
	4:56pm spacebrother: ↳ HyperDose @4:55 Agreed.
	4:56pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Gotta run, but thanks for hipping me to all these tracks, spacebro!
	4:57pm spacebrother: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @4:56 Sure! Thanks for being here!
	4:58pm Aitch: Great stuff Greg, loved it.
	4:58pm ike-o: Finally some cowbell
	4:58pm Scott_Oz: Shit the Show went quick! Thanks Greg, great clever fun mate. 🌏☀️☕😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	📖 4:59pm WR: Fun tunes, fun times in the comments.
	4:59pm HyperDose: Thanks, Greg! 🛸
	4:59pm Sem: Thx, Spacebruh, brilliant selections.
	4:59pm John R.: Fun show !! Thanks SBG.😊
	📖 5:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Lame Claim to Fame" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I seem to recall the actual Southern Culture on the Skids played on this?
	5:00pm David in California: Thank you, Greg. I've enjoyed the show.
	5:01pm JetBoy of Astoria: Fun show today!
	5:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks spacebrother!
	5:02pm Barno in Akron: Thanks!
	📖 5:02pm Mr Fab: I have rarely laffed as much in one radio show, Spacebrother.
	5:03pm spacebrother: Thanks to all and thanks for the very lively chatroom today!
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: (let the self-flaggelation resume)
	5:08pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 Always!!

	4:45pm spacebrother: ↳ wenzo @4:44 Hey Wenzo!
	4:45pm ike-o: Before/until
	4:45pm spacebrother: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @4:44 Forgot to say hi!
	4:46pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ wenzo @4:44 👀 wenzo!
	📖 4:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Bob" by "Weird Al Yankovic" So many Dylan parodies. Such a fat target. Even Simon & Garfunkel couldn't resist, and Paul Simon is not known for his sense of humor (to put it mildly).
	4:47pm ike-o: Here's yer Beach boys?
	📖 4:47pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Pancreas" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I was hoping you'd play this! Truly incredible. Like the Zappa one, so many Beach Boys references.
	4:47pm coelacanth∅: ...so i should dabble in oingo boingo. it wouldn't be the first artist to experience a change in my perception... although i'd put money on only a marginal acceptance!
	4:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I had no idea that Weird Al recorded so many "In The Style Of" parodies! Was only really familiar with Dare to be Stupid (because it's so spot-on).
	4:48pm coelacanth∅: well, both the beach boys and Zappa were pretty formulaic after all. their own formulas, but still formulas.
	4:49pm Dean: By the time OB joined A&M they had completely lost my attention.
	4:49pm ike-o: If nothing else it's fun ti try to imagine how that was bleeding edge technology
	📖 4:49pm Mr Fab: I played this for someone studying to be a medical assistant, who said it was scientifically accurate. Al does his homework!
	4:50pm Dean: Lynwood is just north of Compton, and it's where WAY grew up. Nice connection there.
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: okay Dean that helps, thanks
	4:51pm HyperDose: Straight Outta Lynwood engineered by Rafael Serrano. I'm a fan!
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: hahaha... he could've gotten sued for this one
	4:51pm spacebrother: That's actually Ray Manzerek playing keys on this track.
	4:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spacebrother @4:51 oh good thing!
	4:52pm spacebrother: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:52 Maybe that's why!
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: this is genius!
	4:54pm Scott_Oz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 Ain't it!
	4:54pm Dean: Sounds like Morrison doing Zappa.
	4:54pm wenzo: I wonder if any of these were inspired by actual ads or if he just made them all up
	4:55pm spacebrother: ↳ wenzo @4:54 Defintely inspired, at least.
	4:55pm Jan Turkenburg: Amazing episode, Greg. Learned a lot!
	4:55pm HyperDose: Wayne's World 2 is one of the few sequels that is just as good as the first movie
	4:56pm spacebrother: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @4:55 Thanks Jan! I had fun putting it together.
	4:56pm Scott_Oz: ↳ HyperDose @4:55 Or bad?
	4:56pm spacebrother: ↳ HyperDose @4:55 Agreed.
	4:56pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Gotta run, but thanks for hipping me to all these tracks, spacebro!
	4:57pm spacebrother: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @4:56 Sure! Thanks for being here!
	4:58pm Aitch: Great stuff Greg, loved it.
	4:58pm ike-o: Finally some cowbell

	4:59pm John R.: Fun show !! Thanks SBG.😊
	📖 5:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Lame Claim to Fame" by "Weird Al Yankovic" I seem to recall the actual Southern Culture on the Skids played on this?
	5:00pm David in California: Thank you, Greg. I've enjoyed the show.
	5:01pm JetBoy of Astoria: Fun show today!
	5:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks spacebrother!

	5:04pm coelacanth∅: (let the self-flaggelation resume)
