	6:05pm Matt from Springfield: Nice to finally meet SM Ken in person!! 😀 And nice to talk with Andy B again! 😄
	6:06pm Jamie Dell'Apa in New Orleans: This is the funniest idea for a show but Don McLean's personality makes it even funnier.
	6:07pm Jamie Dell'Apa in New Orleans: It is worse than the worst Wild Man Fischer song.
	6:07pm Deano de los Muertos: did the Sheaves get their submission in in time? Wow! The real Patricia!
	6:07pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks for coming aboard with us, *Patrisha!
	6:08pm Danne D: it really is amazing how perfectly awful the song is. she is too nice for this song to be about her.

	6:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:08 Hey Danne! Andy has riffed on Don for years, but truly horrifying what a 'cult' mindset and household he ran, I had no idea how awful it was 😢
	6:10pm Jamie Dell'Apa in New Orleans: Speaking of restraining order, is it true Don McLean is constantly being poked by ten foot poles?
	6:10pm dale: sounds like a monster. scarry, scarry night.
	6:10pm Planet Ø Tyler: O ok...this is serious. This is horrible
	🚂 6:10pm I.M.Pufnstuff: I entered a version and it made me ill to have to listen to the whole song to get the lyrics...if you want to call them that...how bloody awful this song really is....full of hate and pain. Might as well have been a punk anthem.

	6:13pm Planet Ø Tyler: Hope Patricia can laugh at the versions tonight and heal a little
	🚂 6:13pm zachary: ↳ morphe' @6:11 I hope he is.
	🚂 6:13pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Mockery is my middle name! - Andy
	🚂 6:13pm zachary: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @6:13 Great middle name.
	6:14pm morphe': FindingOurVoices.net Maine Let's Talk About It
	6:14pm beej: "Are you a mod or a rocker" " I'm a mocker"
	6:14pm Deano de los Muertos: I was actually physically abused by my ex-gf who I had known since childhood and I haven’t had the urge into a new relationship since, been a few years now
	6:14pm Jamie Dell'Apa in New Orleans: The only good lyric in his famous song was about a Chevy on the levee. The rest of the song was the lyrical equivalent to "Meanest Girl"
	6:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Planet Ø Tyler @6:13 I'm searching for the quote, but "mockery is the best to use where reason fails", or something like. Sounds like it's doing the job!! 😆
	6:15pm dale: it's like they're coming to take me away.
	6:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:14 Sorry to hear 💖 I hope you are in a better spot now.
	6:16pm Deano de los Muertos: She stole half my stuff too, saying I could “pick it up later” after I moved out, then stole it and moved without telling me (she was evicted)
	6:17pm morphe': Andy went from almost goofing Patrisha to actual kindness .. Andy is actually kind ... it is his hard shell that doesn't sell..
	6:17pm Matt from Springfield: "You're the MEANEST Breckman! ... more like a load of DRECK MAN!..."
	6:17pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:16 Financially, work, yes…mentally, nothing has improved sadly
	6:17pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:16 the only thing to do with toxic people is distance. congratulations on getting away.
	6:17pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:16 Thanks though 🙌
	6:18pm dale: karl and marx?
	🚂 6:18pm zachary: Oh man! The ending is the best part of that rendition. Ken, you need to play the end of the Too Tall and His Gang version. The last verse is the best part along with the ending.
	6:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:17 Like ∫ydniuß said, distance and time...🙌
	6:18pm Mattynotimes: I was really hoping the prize was tickets to see Don McLean
	6:19pm Matt from Springfield: "I'm Not In Love"!!!!
	6:19pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ ∫ydniuß @6:17 Yes, and thanks to you and Matt again
	6:19pm common: heee. 10cc
	🚂 6:19pm Black Cat: Honk if you love Patrisha.
	6:19pm Deano de los Muertos: Oh, I like this one. tune of “I’m not in Love”
	6:20pm beej: big boys don't cry...
	6:20pm Danne D: a little 10cc going on
	🚂 6:21pm Will thee SG OCNY: Kinda dig this one
	🚂 6:21pm I.M.Pufnstuff: I was gonna go ukelele also but went for fretless bass instead
	6:21pm Danne D: the fun this is every single one will be better than Don MacLean's
	6:21pm Deano de los Muertos: This one was a little too sophisticated for the likes of Don
	6:22pm dale: can we delve into his childhood? was he abused?
	6:22pm G: Move over Van Morrison. This is Don McLean’s Despicable Aggravation Song.
	6:22pm common: there's a lot goin on here.
	6:22pm dale: is he a scorpio?
	6:22pm listener 126464: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:02 Circus liquors with the big clown?
	6:22pm Kat in the chat: He's a frickin narcissist and idk what else.
	6:22pm The Chief: All the love <3 <3 <3 Patricia
	6:23pm Matt from Springfield: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:24pm Deano de los Muertos: Ragtime baby!
	🚂 6:24pm Will thee SG OCNY: Get out the rags... It's time
	6:24pm beej: PERFECT!!!!
	6:24pm Daniel Donuts: Now we’re cookin
	6:25pm Kat in the chat: been through it, I won't get into it here, but I was in a Very Bad Marriage (fortunately only a few years).
	6:25pm common: mean! so good
	6:25pm dale: LOVE the mark russell delivery
	6:25pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks for being a great sport btw Patrisha
	6:25pm fred: I should be asleep, but this is radio history
	6:25pm Danne D: grant wins
	6:25pm Kat in the chat: That last one really brought out the incredible childishness
	6:25pm Kevin from Madison: A true classic
	6:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @6:22 Possibly, but the mind is a strange thing, and I wonder just what separates one person with a bad childhood from someone going full on delusions of grandeur and making a cult out of your home. It's these "moderately talented" people you have to worry about, I say! Really talented people can go on creating things their whole life, it's those who reach the end of their talent who spin off into abusive svengali!
	6:25pm listener 126464: Good one, Grant!
	6:26pm Troy: 👏 Grant!
	6:26pm Beulah Fongula: why is everybody seemingly so surprized at how horrible McLean's song is! After all it IS just another cringy Don McLean "song"
	6:26pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Kat in the chat @6:25 YES! 😆
	🚂 6:26pm DjLorraine: 😂
	6:26pm Matt from Springfield: "Lou Reed demo version" by Josh?
	6:27pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:26 😆
	6:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Beulah Fongula @6:26 He must have no "people" or managers left to stop him from releasing crap like this!
	6:27pm G: Great “cheap upright piano” tone :)
	6:28pm Danne D: need a Fred Rogers one
	6:28pm Deano de los Muertos: so is Andy the least talented Breckman?
	6:28pm Kat in the chat: Sung by an actual child, that works
	6:28pm Doug in DC: A friend of mine who books shows coined the term folkbag, and I have run into more than one.
	6:28pm dale: there's something absolutely correct about a child singing this.
	6:28pm morphe': Andy's Grandson ... Winner with no prize..
	6:28pm common: ↳ dale @6:28 yep!
	6:29pm Beulah Fongula: ↳ Jamie Dell'Apa in New Orleans @6:14 Seriously - since 1970 I've been trying to find out about "chevy to the levee", not its meaning, but because I have in my head this line being sung in the 50's by a possibly black rhythm and blues group. If anybody knows, PLEASE let me know!
	6:29pm Deano de los Muertos: Don’s original version focuses mostly on Wanda’s nap
	6:30pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Beulah Fongula @6:29 Wouldn’t put it past him to have stolen the like from someone
	6:30pm Grant in Burbank: Thanks for all the nice words friends. :)
	6:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Doug in DC @6:28 "Folkbag", that's a keeper!
	6:31pm Danne D: Big Starish
	🚂 6:31pm I.M.Pufnstuff: No family members were self-promoted during the taping of this show.
	6:31pm βrian: Where are the lyrics? I canna find them.
	6:31pm Matt from Springfield: '80s alternative rock feel to Harrison's one!
	🚂 6:31pm Will thee SG OCNY: The music is pretty good
	6:32pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:30 So much of "American Pie" is borrowings from earlier songs, Don only "wrote" like 14% of the lyrics anyway!!
	6:32pm common: flamin lips-ish. that un
	🚂 6:32pm Black Cat: ↳ Grant in Burbank @6:30 Snappy. The kids are gonna love your sound.
	6:33pm Kat in the chat: Yeah that minimized the lyrics to the extent that it was listenable
	6:33pm Henroitte: An incel anthem is being born
	6:33pm Doug in DC: Goes to show that indie is just folkdoucherock
	6:33pm Kat in the chat: I assume the Passionate and Objective Jokerfan did a song about Ken
	6:34pm Danne D: "You're the Meanest Ken"
	6:34pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Henroitte @6:33 🙄 uggh, I can see that already..
	6:35pm unpopularfred: there's a Clay Pigeon about Ken song too
	🚂 6:35pm herb.nyc: Haha, I know one of the guys in Hymen and Metalfunkel (name?). Real good guy as well
	6:35pm Folsom: i listened to a podcast about the guy that writes about everything, the interviewer was a subject, the guy didn't remember writing it.
	6:35pm dale: c'mon, you've got ringworm is up there.
	6:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @6:35 You're lucky it was ringworm .. Because it could've been .. something else.
	🚂 6:37pm zachary: I love Sam's version.
	6:37pm Grant in Burbank: Win, lose or Draw, we’ll be making a donation to Finding our Voices! This is one of my most anticipated shows ever. Kudos to Ken & Andy making it happen.
	6:38pm Danne D: am I safe in assuming that the song title is spelled "Your The Meanest Girl" right?
	6:38pm Fredericks: Sam is so angry.
	6:38pm dale: sam the appraiser is the guy who pulls up next to you at the stop light and you stare at him doing that and he finally turns his head and stops and then you feel bad for making him feel bad.
	6:38pm Doug in DC: Free Styling since no one is going to pay for it
	6:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:38 "Yr th3 m33nist g3rl"
	6:40pm G: ↳ Danne D @6:38 It’s on the u toob at: m.youtube.com...
	6:40pm Danne D: would like a Grinch version
	6:41pm Doug in DC: This one wins
	6:41pm Matt from Springfield: Gee, it seems we should never play this Nazi sympathizer again!
	6:41pm Kat in the chat: LOLLLLLLLL
	6:41pm Folsom: This version is good by black cat.
	6:41pm morphe': ↳ Doug in DC @6:41 DING !!!! It rambles and ...
	6:42pm Beulah Fongula: We have a wiener!
	6:42pm bingo: we've got this on the speaker in the kitchen and everyone is losing it here omg
	6:42pm Phred: This it it!!
	6:43pm Matt from Springfield: WOOOOOO!!! Black Cat!!! 😂👏👏👏
	6:43pm swivs: I’m crying on the subway
	6:44pm listener 126464: Nice product placement.
	6:44pm Deano de los Muertos: Pretty good
	6:44pm Troy: Black Cat 🤘
	6:44pm Germanium: Brilliant!
	🚂 6:45pm Black Cat: Me. I would go there. Don McLean needs Dulcolax to poop.
	6:45pm Deano de los Muertos: Ragtime or 10cc still swaying me
	6:46pm common: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:45 same
	6:46pm McGroovey: I wanted to record a version, but I've been too busy for the past week. But I was planning on including a poop reference, actually.
	🚂 6:47pm zachary: I liked most of that version. A bit scatological.
	6:47pm Grant in Burbank: Great stuff Black Cat!
	🚂 6:47pm zachary: Everyone should post their versions online and report back. Flood the Internet with them.
	🚂 6:48pm DjLorraine: Ming dynasty vessel?
	6:48pm βrian: Will the Orange Man-Baby ever apologize?
	6:48pm Matt from Springfield: It's not possible for him to apologize, even when he didn't deny any of it. Like narcissists.
	6:49pm Matt from Springfield: Gaslighting others, and themselves, constantly.
	6:50pm dale: this really sounds like someone else. TRUMP MCLEAN 2024.
	6:50pm Danne D: Andy should have gone to the Olympics to guard the Athlete's Masterbatorium
	6:50pm morphe': Kilometers away from NJ/NYC.. I will buy 10 tkts [in a block = 2 each for 5 folks + 1] for folks to go and ask in union for Meanest Girl .. TWICE !!!... Bring Signs ... We'll Ken to organize.. 2Xs ..
	6:50pm Folsom: Hopefully Andy's wife doesn't break the cardboard beds.
	6:50pm Danne D: The Meanest Gerz
	6:51pm dale: i liked in the man with the golden gun how james 'misses' the target in skeet, but shot the sniper in the tree.
	🚂 6:51pm Black Cat: ↳ Grant in Burbank @6:47 Thanks, Grant. Everyone be sure to donate a few bucks to the Finding Our Voices link. <3
	🚂 6:51pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Good one Black Cat! Here comes mine!
	6:51pm Danne D: So TFG is gonna have Don McLean play this song at one of his campaign rallies isn't he?
	6:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:50 Athletes only "edge", to get them warmed up without losing energy. Errr, forget I said that...😉
	6:52pm Germanium: We're all tripping here
	6:52pm Throw Beer: That’s the one. Clearly. I want that one played on every show for the next month.
	6:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:51 *YOUR the Meanist KAMALA!!..."
	6:53pm βrian: ↳ dale @6:51 Are you sure it wasn't the clay pigeon that took out the sniper? Seems more likely.
	6:53pm Dan K: this is some tough competition, real tough
	🚂 6:53pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Throw Beer @6:52 Thanks! I made it on a Zoom R4 recorder playing with the pitch shifter.
	6:54pm dale: ↳ βrian @6:53 no, the guy with the superflous third nipple said ;you missed' and james says did i? and the guy flumps to the ground.
	6:54pm Deano de los Muertos: While the 10cc is the more listenable version, Grant’s truly encapsulates the childishness while still improving the actual melody
	6:54pm Throw Beer: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @6:53 I worship you. I give you thanks. I praise you for your glory.
	6:55pm Deano de los Muertos: Sam comin out of his shell!
	6:56pm Matt from Springfield: The proof is out there - you can DNA test the urine, once we find the jars..
	6:57pm Grant in Burbank: Congrats Black Cat!
	6:57pm Deano de los Muertos: Grats Black Cat! That wouldn’t been my honorable mention anyway
	6:57pm common: congrats black cat!
	6:57pm Throw Beer: Really. Pufnstuf’s has to be featured. Every show has to play it. And it will really anger Don.
	6:57pm morphe': Why has she not changed her name??
	6:58pm Deano de los Muertos: And thanks Patrisha, show woulda been meaningless without her
	6:58pm Listener Joe: drive.google.com...

	6:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Planet Ø Tyler @6:13 I'm searching for the quote, but "mockery is the best to use where reason fails", or something like. Sounds like it's doing the job!! 😆
	6:15pm dale: it's like they're coming to take me away.
	6:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:14 Sorry to hear 💖 I hope you are in a better spot now.
	6:16pm Deano de los Muertos: She stole half my stuff too, saying I could “pick it up later” after I moved out, then stole it and moved without telling me (she was evicted)
	6:17pm morphe': Andy went from almost goofing Patrisha to actual kindness .. Andy is actually kind ... it is his hard shell that doesn't sell..
	6:17pm Matt from Springfield: "You're the MEANEST Breckman! ... more like a load of DRECK MAN!..."
	6:17pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:16 Financially, work, yes…mentally, nothing has improved sadly
	6:17pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:16 the only thing to do with toxic people is distance. congratulations on getting away.
	6:17pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:16 Thanks though 🙌
	6:18pm dale: karl and marx?
	🚂 6:18pm zachary: Oh man! The ending is the best part of that rendition. Ken, you need to play the end of the Too Tall and His Gang version. The last verse is the best part along with the ending.
	6:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:17 Like ∫ydniuß said, distance and time...🙌
	6:18pm Mattynotimes: I was really hoping the prize was tickets to see Don McLean
	6:19pm Matt from Springfield: "I'm Not In Love"!!!!
	6:19pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ ∫ydniuß @6:17 Yes, and thanks to you and Matt again
	6:19pm common: heee. 10cc
	🚂 6:19pm Black Cat: Honk if you love Patrisha.
	6:19pm Deano de los Muertos: Oh, I like this one. tune of “I’m not in Love”
	6:20pm beej: big boys don't cry...
	6:20pm Danne D: a little 10cc going on
	🚂 6:21pm Will thee SG OCNY: Kinda dig this one
	🚂 6:21pm I.M.Pufnstuff: I was gonna go ukelele also but went for fretless bass instead
	6:21pm Danne D: the fun this is every single one will be better than Don MacLean's
	6:21pm Deano de los Muertos: This one was a little too sophisticated for the likes of Don
	6:22pm dale: can we delve into his childhood? was he abused?
	6:22pm G: Move over Van Morrison. This is Don McLean’s Despicable Aggravation Song.
	6:22pm common: there's a lot goin on here.
	6:22pm dale: is he a scorpio?
	6:22pm listener 126464: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:02 Circus liquors with the big clown?
	6:22pm Kat in the chat: He's a frickin narcissist and idk what else.
	6:22pm The Chief: All the love <3 <3 <3 Patricia
	6:23pm Matt from Springfield: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:24pm Deano de los Muertos: Ragtime baby!
	🚂 6:24pm Will thee SG OCNY: Get out the rags... It's time
	6:24pm beej: PERFECT!!!!
	6:24pm Daniel Donuts: Now we’re cookin
	6:25pm Kat in the chat: been through it, I won't get into it here, but I was in a Very Bad Marriage (fortunately only a few years).
	6:25pm common: mean! so good
	6:25pm dale: LOVE the mark russell delivery
	6:25pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks for being a great sport btw Patrisha
	6:25pm fred: I should be asleep, but this is radio history
	6:25pm Danne D: grant wins
	6:25pm Kat in the chat: That last one really brought out the incredible childishness
	6:25pm Kevin from Madison: A true classic
	6:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @6:22 Possibly, but the mind is a strange thing, and I wonder just what separates one person with a bad childhood from someone going full on delusions of grandeur and making a cult out of your home. It's these "moderately talented" people you have to worry about, I say! Really talented people can go on creating things their whole life, it's those who reach the end of their talent who spin off into abusive svengali!
	6:25pm listener 126464: Good one, Grant!
	6:26pm Troy: 👏 Grant!
	6:26pm Beulah Fongula: why is everybody seemingly so surprized at how horrible McLean's song is! After all it IS just another cringy Don McLean "song"
	6:26pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Kat in the chat @6:25 YES! 😆
	🚂 6:26pm DjLorraine: 😂
	6:26pm Matt from Springfield: "Lou Reed demo version" by Josh?
	6:27pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:26 😆
	6:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Beulah Fongula @6:26 He must have no "people" or managers left to stop him from releasing crap like this!
	6:27pm G: Great “cheap upright piano” tone :)
	6:28pm Danne D: need a Fred Rogers one
	6:28pm Deano de los Muertos: so is Andy the least talented Breckman?
	6:28pm Kat in the chat: Sung by an actual child, that works
	6:28pm Doug in DC: A friend of mine who books shows coined the term folkbag, and I have run into more than one.
	6:28pm dale: there's something absolutely correct about a child singing this.
	6:28pm morphe': Andy's Grandson ... Winner with no prize..
	6:28pm common: ↳ dale @6:28 yep!
	6:29pm Beulah Fongula: ↳ Jamie Dell'Apa in New Orleans @6:14 Seriously - since 1970 I've been trying to find out about "chevy to the levee", not its meaning, but because I have in my head this line being sung in the 50's by a possibly black rhythm and blues group. If anybody knows, PLEASE let me know!
	6:29pm Deano de los Muertos: Don’s original version focuses mostly on Wanda’s nap
	6:30pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Beulah Fongula @6:29 Wouldn’t put it past him to have stolen the like from someone
	6:30pm Grant in Burbank: Thanks for all the nice words friends. :)
	6:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Doug in DC @6:28 "Folkbag", that's a keeper!
	6:31pm Danne D: Big Starish
	🚂 6:31pm I.M.Pufnstuff: No family members were self-promoted during the taping of this show.
	6:31pm βrian: Where are the lyrics? I canna find them.
	6:31pm Matt from Springfield: '80s alternative rock feel to Harrison's one!
	🚂 6:31pm Will thee SG OCNY: The music is pretty good
	6:32pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:30 So much of "American Pie" is borrowings from earlier songs, Don only "wrote" like 14% of the lyrics anyway!!
	6:32pm common: flamin lips-ish. that un
	🚂 6:32pm Black Cat: ↳ Grant in Burbank @6:30 Snappy. The kids are gonna love your sound.
	6:33pm Kat in the chat: Yeah that minimized the lyrics to the extent that it was listenable
	6:33pm Henroitte: An incel anthem is being born
	6:33pm Doug in DC: Goes to show that indie is just folkdoucherock
	6:33pm Kat in the chat: I assume the Passionate and Objective Jokerfan did a song about Ken
	6:34pm Danne D: "You're the Meanest Ken"
	6:34pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Henroitte @6:33 🙄 uggh, I can see that already..
	6:35pm unpopularfred: there's a Clay Pigeon about Ken song too
	🚂 6:35pm herb.nyc: Haha, I know one of the guys in Hymen and Metalfunkel (name?). Real good guy as well
	6:35pm Folsom: i listened to a podcast about the guy that writes about everything, the interviewer was a subject, the guy didn't remember writing it.
	6:35pm dale: c'mon, you've got ringworm is up there.
	6:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @6:35 You're lucky it was ringworm .. Because it could've been .. something else.
	🚂 6:37pm zachary: I love Sam's version.
	6:37pm Grant in Burbank: Win, lose or Draw, we’ll be making a donation to Finding our Voices! This is one of my most anticipated shows ever. Kudos to Ken & Andy making it happen.
	6:38pm Danne D: am I safe in assuming that the song title is spelled "Your The Meanest Girl" right?
	6:38pm Fredericks: Sam is so angry.
	6:38pm dale: sam the appraiser is the guy who pulls up next to you at the stop light and you stare at him doing that and he finally turns his head and stops and then you feel bad for making him feel bad.
	6:38pm Doug in DC: Free Styling since no one is going to pay for it
	6:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:38 "Yr th3 m33nist g3rl"
	6:40pm G: ↳ Danne D @6:38 It’s on the u toob at: m.youtube.com...
	6:40pm Danne D: would like a Grinch version
	6:41pm Doug in DC: This one wins
	6:41pm Matt from Springfield: Gee, it seems we should never play this Nazi sympathizer again!
	6:41pm Kat in the chat: LOLLLLLLLL
	6:41pm Folsom: This version is good by black cat.
	6:41pm morphe': ↳ Doug in DC @6:41 DING !!!! It rambles and ...

	6:44pm Troy: Black Cat 🤘
	6:44pm Germanium: Brilliant!
	🚂 6:45pm Black Cat: Me. I would go there. Don McLean needs Dulcolax to poop.
	6:45pm Deano de los Muertos: Ragtime or 10cc still swaying me
	6:46pm common: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @6:45 same
	6:46pm McGroovey: I wanted to record a version, but I've been too busy for the past week. But I was planning on including a poop reference, actually.
	🚂 6:47pm zachary: I liked most of that version. A bit scatological.
	6:47pm Grant in Burbank: Great stuff Black Cat!
	🚂 6:47pm zachary: Everyone should post their versions online and report back. Flood the Internet with them.
	🚂 6:48pm DjLorraine: Ming dynasty vessel?
	6:48pm βrian: Will the Orange Man-Baby ever apologize?
	6:48pm Matt from Springfield: It's not possible for him to apologize, even when he didn't deny any of it. Like narcissists.
	6:49pm Matt from Springfield: Gaslighting others, and themselves, constantly.
	6:50pm dale: this really sounds like someone else. TRUMP MCLEAN 2024.
	6:50pm Danne D: Andy should have gone to the Olympics to guard the Athlete's Masterbatorium
	6:50pm morphe': Kilometers away from NJ/NYC.. I will buy 10 tkts [in a block = 2 each for 5 folks + 1] for folks to go and ask in union for Meanest Girl .. TWICE !!!... Bring Signs ... We'll Ken to organize.. 2Xs ..

	6:51pm Danne D: So TFG is gonna have Don McLean play this song at one of his campaign rallies isn't he?
	6:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:50 Athletes only "edge", to get them warmed up without losing energy. Errr, forget I said that...😉
	6:52pm Germanium: We're all tripping here
	6:52pm Throw Beer: That’s the one. Clearly. I want that one played on every show for the next month.
	6:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:51 *YOUR the Meanist KAMALA!!..."
	6:53pm βrian: ↳ dale @6:51 Are you sure it wasn't the clay pigeon that took out the sniper? Seems more likely.
	6:53pm Dan K: this is some tough competition, real tough
	🚂 6:53pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Throw Beer @6:52 Thanks! I made it on a Zoom R4 recorder playing with the pitch shifter.
	6:54pm dale: ↳ βrian @6:53 no, the guy with the superflous third nipple said ;you missed' and james says did i? and the guy flumps to the ground.
	6:54pm Deano de los Muertos: While the 10cc is the more listenable version, Grant’s truly encapsulates the childishness while still improving the actual melody
	6:54pm Throw Beer: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @6:53 I worship you. I give you thanks. I praise you for your glory.
	6:55pm Deano de los Muertos: Sam comin out of his shell!

	6:57pm common: congrats black cat!
	6:57pm Throw Beer: Really. Pufnstuf’s has to be featured. Every show has to play it. And it will really anger Don.
