	7:04pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "On With the Show" by "The Rolling Stones" I remember the album but I can't say i remember this song. I do rather like it.
	7:04pm wendy del formaggio: @Yvang: hahaha “Busy Doing Acid.” Perfect!
	7:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "On With the Show" by "The Rolling Stones" funny thing about image ...don't jagger richards and jones look a little timid, where wyman and watts are kinda owning it...?
	7:06pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @7:04 Speaking of "busy doing acid," this was the last song on the album, so everyone was too high and passed out by that point!
	7:06pm Yvang: ↳ wendy del formaggio @7:04 Thanks Wendy. As someone said : Nothing beats perfection.
	👻 7:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Magic To Do" by "Ben Vereen and the Players" Cool tune, be show-music leaning tonight? Just came back from seeing Wicked (the movie), quite the production (family loved it)!
	7:07pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @7:06 Ah, thanks for that explanation. It makes sense. :-)
	7:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:06 maybe does have something to do with drug levels...
	7:08pm Chris S.: Hola Charlie!
	7:10pm Dan S: BTW, I like the start to this show. Keep on doing nothing, Charlie, because you do it well!
	7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: i think invoking satan at the beginning of a string of broadway show tunes is only appropriate
	7:12pm spodiodi: you have the best shows!!
	7:12pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @7:07 Well, yeah! Filling in for Acid Jazz Hands, gotta go big:)
	7:12pm Charlie: Hi Chris S! and Dan S! and any other S's out there:)
	7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: i think bronwyn should switch show names with micah and have hers as "music of mind control" and his as "acid jazz hands"
	7:13pm Chris S.: I've done (nearly) nothing all day, so I should be ready for the show.
	7:14pm schmutz: good evenin. I am mesmerized by the harris foster gif.
	👻 7:14pm doctorjazz: Family commented (when I told them it's not Bronwyn), "no wonder we recognized all the tunes..."
	7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: i love barbara harris
	7:14pm Dan S: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:13 Perhaps they could do a show together and call it "acid mind control."
	7:15pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:13 I'd like a show named "Music for hands control"
	7:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @7:15 thgat's "it's complicated"
	7:15pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:14 Me too! Wish she were in more movies.
	7:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan S @7:14 that could work
	7:16pm Charlie: Hey schmutz!
	7:16pm Dan S: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 Hey, I like that she goes for the "deep cuts" in familiar shows.
	7:17pm Michael: Hey now Charlie!
	7:18pm Charlie: Hey now Michael!

	7:47pm Ruth hi school: This is HYSTERICAL!! Who or what is it??
	7:48pm Charlie: ↳ Ruth hi school @7:47 Ruth - you mean the W.C. Fields movie clip?
	7:48pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Cellar Song for Five Voices" by "Emmett Williams" Yes, I also have this cassette .... in my hand! I HAVE EVERYTHING.
	7:50pm Listener Gregory: May the blackbird of happiness land on your shoulder.
	7:51pm StringOFperils: O lucky US!
	7:51pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:50 And not poop on your head.
	7:52pm Webhamster Henry: You already played TMBG, so : no Bluebird in my soul.
	7:53pm wendy del formaggio: We have the same music bed, Charlie. Yay!
	7:53pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals" by "Charlie (you... So, Charlie, I missed this before. Did you perform on this song? Were you connected to SNL back then?
	7:54pm Ruth hi school: ↳ Charlie @7:48 Yes! OK, you've answered my question. You light up my life! Speaking of which, play some Debbie Boone, sometime, maybe.
	7:56pm Ruth hi school: ↳ Dan S @7:53 Dan S, Charlie played ukele and sang on the show tonight. I don't believe he was associated with SNL, but then again, you never know with Charlie.
	7:58pm Listener Gregory: They all get drunk?? I can’t believe you gave away the plot of this WC Fields movie.
	7:58pm Dan S: ↳ Ruth hi school @7:56 Oh, OK. I was distracted by something when this song was playing, so I kind of half-heard it.
	7:58pm Listener Gregory: @Dan S, no promises can be made.
	7:58pm Ruth hi school: Charlie, I LOVE your voice!!!
	8:00pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Chazzola!
	8:00pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @7:53 you have Gomez, I have Morticia:)

	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @7:53 Dan: I recorded a cover version of the song. Earlier this week!
	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:58 Gregory - haha!

	8:04pm Dan S: ↳ Ruth hi school @8:02 Mine too.
	8:04pm wendy del formaggio: @Charlie: Sorta! I use “Morticia’s Theme” sometimes later in my show. “Gomez” is for 3:45 Snack Time. It’s such a great album, nobody can resist. Why should they?
	8:05pm Rluwi: I've finally registered here so now I don't have to do an addition problem every time I post a comment. That was some pretty heavy mathematics there!
	8:06pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Livin' in the Sunlight" by "Geoff Muldaur" A non Tiny Tim version....
	8:06pm Chris S.: ↳ Rluwi @8:05 I just finally did the same.
	8:06pm Rluwi: ↳ Chris S. @8:06 we have arrived, Chris S!
	8:07pm Charlie: Chris and Ruth - you are now fully indoctrinated into the cult!
	8:09pm StringOFperils: Love the timbre of Spanky's voice.

	8:10pm Webhamster Henry: I don't have to do a show because Charlie does my show.
	8:10pm Chris S.: I'll try to keep up.
	8:10pm Michael: Henry I think Charlie does all of our shows.
	8:11pm Rluwi: ↳ Charlie @8:07 About time!
	8:13pm Listener Gregory: Buddy, can you spare $10,000 for first + last month’s rent and security?
	8:15pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:13 Ask your favorite billionaire.
	8:18pm schmutz: ↳ Song: "Remember My Forgotten Man, from Gold Diggers of 1... the busby berkeley sequences in this one are phenomenal
	8:25pm wendy del formaggio: FEMALE TROUBLE!
	8:26pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Female Trouble Theme" by "Divine" This is a Divine intervention even a secular skeptic can believe in.
	8:27pm wendy del formaggio: “Female Trouble” is one of my favorite Christmas movies.
	8:28pm northguineahills: dgging it charlie!
	8:28pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:27 That's the kind of Christmas movie I can get behind!
	8:29pm Listener Gregory: Losing My Mind—Bronwyn would be so proud.
	8:29pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Losing My Mind" by "Liza Minnelli" There was a Disco Sondheim album that came out right before he died. Killed him, I think. www.vulture.com...
	8:30pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Look Over Your Shoulder" by "Alan Price" …been lurking, yet that last set pulled me out! this show has been beyond my wildest dreams of delightful entertainment. the oldie film audio clips in the mix are a clinch. I was obsessed with film/soundtrack of “O Lucky Man” when i finally caught-up to it in the 80s. WFMU is a healing place!👏 🫀 👏
	8:31pm StringOFperils: Cha cha heels. Gotta aspire to something..
	8:31pm wendy del formaggio: @Charlie: “What are THESE?!?” “They’re your new shoes, Dawn.”
	8:32pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:27 Here in Kingston, there's a John Waters Christmas coming to the church down the street. I don't know if Waters Himself will be there, but it'll be kind of transgressive. happeningnext.com...
	8:32pm Rluwi: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:27 Female Trouble is a Christmas movie?? I had no idea. needs a re-watch.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: @Webhamster, I won that record from Bronwyn as part of a fundraiser prize!
	8:33pm Rluwi: This Eva Bartok is just the living end!
	8:33pm wendy del formaggio: Has anyone ever done this Eva Bartok tune for Hoof n Mouth?
	8:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Don't Touch Me" by "Brak" Brak!
	8:35pm wendy del formaggio: @WHHenry: Wow! Are you going?
	8:35pm Dan S: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:33 Not that I know of. Would you like to try it next March?
	8:35pm Charlie: Belated HI to NGH, Gregory!
	8:36pm Charlie: Hi Erik, thanks!
	8:36pm wendy del formaggio: @RIuwi: Sorta! A Christmas morning gone bad sets the whole story in motion.
	8:37pm StringOFperils: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:36 That film has the best art direction. The sets are eye goggling.
	8:37pm wendy del formaggio: @Dan S: Good question. I’m not sure if I’m even going. If I do, I’d probably sing “I’m Tired” from Blazing Saddles.
	8:38pm Rluwi: ↳ Webhamster Henry @8:32 Cool!
	8:38pm Dan S: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:37 Another good choice.
	8:38pm Listening Out There: Thought that might be Charo doing Touch Me. Oh, well…
	8:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Touch Me" by "La Lupe" Well, this is...different.
	8:39pm Michael: ↳ Webhamster Henry @8:32 Henry - I saw him do the John Waters Christmas Show in Boston about 5 years ago. It was great obviously.
	8:40pm David Shortell: ↳ Charlie @8:01 When Michael O'Donoghue wrote the song, he must've known NBC would reject it.
	8:41pm wendy del formaggio: Haha this is how rumors get started.
	8:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @8:40 Probably why he wrote it. Fighting horror with horror, one mortifying deadpan gag at a time.
	8:43pm Rluwi: I gotta find out about this Hoof 'N Mouth deal thingie, OMG, sounds great.
	8:43pm Webhamster Henry: Biiiiig Nothin' Please Mr. Sellack, Can I Have My Job Back?
	👻 8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Big Nuthin'" by "The Roches" Love this!
	8:45pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Big Nuthin'" by "The Roches" Speaking of Hoof & Mouth, I recall that Amanda and 2 other FMU folks channeled a Roches song at the last one, and it was a pretty good job.
	8:46pm Franco Twinkie: Hello Mister Charlie!
	8:48pm Chris S.: OMG! I stepped away, and you played Divine!!
	8:48pm Charlie: Howdy Franco!
	8:48pm Chris S.: And BRAK???
	8:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ Rluwi @8:43 www.youtube.com...
	8:49pm Charlie: ↳ Rluwi @8:43 Ruth - at the end of the annual WFMU fundraising marathon, there is a big party with live band karaoke and DJs singing. It's amazing!
	8:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Send in the Clowns" by "Tiger Lilies" In a strange way, this kind of works for this song. IMHO.
	8:52pm Rluwi: ↳ Charlie @8:49 Sounds delicious.
	8:53pm Rluwi: ↳ StringOFperils @8:48 Thank you String!
	8:54pm StringOFperils: It's live on the mothership's main page on the night of. It's a hoot.
	8:55pm spodiodi: thank you, Charlie! great fun
	8:55pm Dan S: Here's a link to the 2024 H&M: wfmu.org...
	8:57pm CDToaster: Hi Charlie, (mta) Tony here, hoping and wondering if you're going to continue casting into Rich from Washington's Broken Radio slot since he's regrettably out today? Would that be too much for you? Perhaps you already have plans and won't be able to? If I missed your previous answer to this, I apologize, but I'm sure we'd love to hear more from you. Happy Holidaze!
	8:57pm Charlie: Thanks for being here everyone! Got one more song, might go over a couple minutes. But Rich will not be on tonight, so it's OK;)
	8:58pm wendy del formaggio: It’s Bacharach Time!
	8:58pm Dan S: A fine show, Charlie! Some of the best nothing I've heard on WFMU lately! Thanks!
	8:58pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Knowing When to Leave" by "Dionne Warwick" Knowing When To Leave's fanfare is my "wake up" ringtone.
	8:58pm Michael: Thanks Charlie!
	8:59pm Chris S.: Very nice Charlie! Thanks!!
	8:59pm wendy del formaggio: …with a complicated time signature, of course. Probably more than one.
	👻 8:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks Charlie, listening while cooking, loved the show!
	8:59pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Person" by "Deanna Storey" A great movie. Depressing as all hell.
	8:59pm wendy del formaggio: Such a nice show, Charlie. Thank you! xo
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Missed the earlier part of the show, but the last half was fantastic. Thanks, Charlie!
	9:01pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @8:55 My favorite H&M performance of 2024 was Michele doing "You Think You're A Man." Michele hates it, however.
	9:01pm StringOFperils: Thanks Charlie. :)
	9:02pm Rluwi: Good night all! Great stuff, Charlie!
	9:02pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Person" by "Deanna Storey" - that song does things to my🫀& emotions … killer. & yea DanS: agree that film is sad, most especially now that PSHoffman is gone (so tragically). Sigh 😔
	9:02pm schmutz: wonderful, as always. thanks charlie!
	9:03pm Yvang: Thanks Charlie!
	9:03pm Webhamster Henry: So long, Charlie!
	9:04pm Charlie: See y'all! <3

	7:06pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @7:04 Speaking of "busy doing acid," this was the last song on the album, so everyone was too high and passed out by that point!
	7:06pm Yvang: ↳ wendy del formaggio @7:04 Thanks Wendy. As someone said : Nothing beats perfection.
	👻 7:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Magic To Do" by "Ben Vereen and the Players" Cool tune, be show-music leaning tonight? Just came back from seeing Wicked (the movie), quite the production (family loved it)!
	7:07pm Dan S: ↳ Charlie @7:06 Ah, thanks for that explanation. It makes sense. :-)
	7:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:06 maybe does have something to do with drug levels...
	7:08pm Chris S.: Hola Charlie!
	7:10pm Dan S: BTW, I like the start to this show. Keep on doing nothing, Charlie, because you do it well!
	7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: i think invoking satan at the beginning of a string of broadway show tunes is only appropriate
	7:12pm spodiodi: you have the best shows!!
	7:12pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @7:07 Well, yeah! Filling in for Acid Jazz Hands, gotta go big:)
	7:12pm Charlie: Hi Chris S! and Dan S! and any other S's out there:)
	7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: i think bronwyn should switch show names with micah and have hers as "music of mind control" and his as "acid jazz hands"
	7:13pm Chris S.: I've done (nearly) nothing all day, so I should be ready for the show.
	7:14pm schmutz: good evenin. I am mesmerized by the harris foster gif.
	👻 7:14pm doctorjazz: Family commented (when I told them it's not Bronwyn), "no wonder we recognized all the tunes..."
	7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: i love barbara harris
	7:14pm Dan S: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:13 Perhaps they could do a show together and call it "acid mind control."
	7:15pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:13 I'd like a show named "Music for hands control"
	7:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @7:15 thgat's "it's complicated"
	7:15pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:14 Me too! Wish she were in more movies.
	7:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan S @7:14 that could work
	7:16pm Charlie: Hey schmutz!
	7:16pm Dan S: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 Hey, I like that she goes for the "deep cuts" in familiar shows.
	7:17pm Michael: Hey now Charlie!

	👻 7:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dan S @7:16 I like it, family likes the "hits"...But she does a WFMU-style show (things like, "music from shows that closed after 1 night...")
	👻 7:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You Are the Light (by which I travel into this an... I think I have this album (not sure, that says a lot...)
	7:21pm Dan S: ↳ doctorjazz @7:19 Some good songs have come from total flops.
	👻 7:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Movin' Right Along" by "Kermit & Fozzie (Jim Hens... ;- ) (brings me back to all the VHS videos we watched hundreds of times when the kids were small...)
	7:22pm arlo: ↳ Song: "Movin' Right Along" by "Kermit & Fozzie (Jim Hens... i'm here for this
	7:22pm Charlie: hey, arlo:)
	👻 7:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dan S @7:21 True dat! (wasn't a criticism, listen whenever I'm near an internet music player on Friday night)

	7:26pm Dan S: Jerky jerk-faced people. Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. :-)
	7:27pm StringOFperils: 2025 will be the year of zen oblivion

	7:28pm Ruth hi school: Hey Charlie! Hi Everyone! I used to work at Sesame Street so really loving this.
	7:29pm Dan S: It's been said before: The light at the end of the tunnel might be an oncoming train about to bash us into oblivion.
	7:30pm Dan S: Getting some occasional cutting out of the stream. Anyone else?
	7:30pm wendy del formaggio: Mickey Katz! ❤️
	7:31pm Yvang: ↳ Dan S @7:30 Stream streaming streamingly smoothy here.

	7:45pm Charlie: Hello Henry! Welcome back to the nothing:)
	7:46pm Webhamster Henry: I have that Gilda album, Let's Talk Dirty was one of my father's favorite songs.
	7:47pm Ruth hi school: This is HYSTERICAL!! Who or what is it??
	7:48pm Charlie: ↳ Ruth hi school @7:47 Ruth - you mean the W.C. Fields movie clip?
	7:48pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Cellar Song for Five Voices" by "Emmett Williams" Yes, I also have this cassette .... in my hand! I HAVE EVERYTHING.
	7:50pm Listener Gregory: May the blackbird of happiness land on your shoulder.
	7:51pm StringOFperils: O lucky US!
	7:51pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:50 And not poop on your head.
	7:52pm Webhamster Henry: You already played TMBG, so : no Bluebird in my soul.
	7:53pm wendy del formaggio: We have the same music bed, Charlie. Yay!
	7:53pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals" by "Charlie (you... So, Charlie, I missed this before. Did you perform on this song? Were you connected to SNL back then?
	7:54pm Ruth hi school: ↳ Charlie @7:48 Yes! OK, you've answered my question. You light up my life! Speaking of which, play some Debbie Boone, sometime, maybe.
	7:56pm Ruth hi school: ↳ Dan S @7:53 Dan S, Charlie played ukele and sang on the show tonight. I don't believe he was associated with SNL, but then again, you never know with Charlie.
	7:58pm Listener Gregory: They all get drunk?? I can’t believe you gave away the plot of this WC Fields movie.
	7:58pm Dan S: ↳ Ruth hi school @7:56 Oh, OK. I was distracted by something when this song was playing, so I kind of half-heard it.
	7:58pm Listener Gregory: @Dan S, no promises can be made.
	7:58pm Ruth hi school: Charlie, I LOVE your voice!!!
	8:00pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Chazzola!
	8:00pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @7:53 you have Gomez, I have Morticia:)

	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Dan S @7:53 Dan: I recorded a cover version of the song. Earlier this week!
	8:01pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:58 Gregory - haha!

	8:04pm Dan S: ↳ Ruth hi school @8:02 Mine too.
	8:04pm wendy del formaggio: @Charlie: Sorta! I use “Morticia’s Theme” sometimes later in my show. “Gomez” is for 3:45 Snack Time. It’s such a great album, nobody can resist. Why should they?
	8:05pm Rluwi: I've finally registered here so now I don't have to do an addition problem every time I post a comment. That was some pretty heavy mathematics there!
	8:06pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Livin' in the Sunlight" by "Geoff Muldaur" A non Tiny Tim version....
	8:06pm Chris S.: ↳ Rluwi @8:05 I just finally did the same.
	8:06pm Rluwi: ↳ Chris S. @8:06 we have arrived, Chris S!

	8:10pm Chris S.: I'll try to keep up.
	8:10pm Michael: Henry I think Charlie does all of our shows.
	8:11pm Rluwi: ↳ Charlie @8:07 About time!
	8:13pm Listener Gregory: Buddy, can you spare $10,000 for first + last month’s rent and security?
	8:15pm Dan S: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:13 Ask your favorite billionaire.
	8:18pm schmutz: ↳ Song: "Remember My Forgotten Man, from Gold Diggers of 1... the busby berkeley sequences in this one are phenomenal
	8:25pm wendy del formaggio: FEMALE TROUBLE!
	8:26pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Female Trouble Theme" by "Divine" This is a Divine intervention even a secular skeptic can believe in.
	8:27pm wendy del formaggio: “Female Trouble” is one of my favorite Christmas movies.
	8:28pm northguineahills: dgging it charlie!
	8:28pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:27 That's the kind of Christmas movie I can get behind!
	8:29pm Listener Gregory: Losing My Mind—Bronwyn would be so proud.
	8:29pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Losing My Mind" by "Liza Minnelli" There was a Disco Sondheim album that came out right before he died. Killed him, I think. www.vulture.com...
	8:30pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "Look Over Your Shoulder" by "Alan Price" …been lurking, yet that last set pulled me out! this show has been beyond my wildest dreams of delightful entertainment. the oldie film audio clips in the mix are a clinch. I was obsessed with film/soundtrack of “O Lucky Man” when i finally caught-up to it in the 80s. WFMU is a healing place!👏 🫀 👏
	8:31pm StringOFperils: Cha cha heels. Gotta aspire to something..
	8:31pm wendy del formaggio: @Charlie: “What are THESE?!?” “They’re your new shoes, Dawn.”
	8:32pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:27 Here in Kingston, there's a John Waters Christmas coming to the church down the street. I don't know if Waters Himself will be there, but it'll be kind of transgressive. happeningnext.com...
	8:32pm Rluwi: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:27 Female Trouble is a Christmas movie?? I had no idea. needs a re-watch.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: @Webhamster, I won that record from Bronwyn as part of a fundraiser prize!
	8:33pm Rluwi: This Eva Bartok is just the living end!
	8:33pm wendy del formaggio: Has anyone ever done this Eva Bartok tune for Hoof n Mouth?
	8:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Don't Touch Me" by "Brak" Brak!
	8:35pm wendy del formaggio: @WHHenry: Wow! Are you going?
	8:35pm Dan S: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:33 Not that I know of. Would you like to try it next March?
	8:35pm Charlie: Belated HI to NGH, Gregory!
	8:36pm Charlie: Hi Erik, thanks!
	8:36pm wendy del formaggio: @RIuwi: Sorta! A Christmas morning gone bad sets the whole story in motion.
	8:37pm StringOFperils: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:36 That film has the best art direction. The sets are eye goggling.
	8:37pm wendy del formaggio: @Dan S: Good question. I’m not sure if I’m even going. If I do, I’d probably sing “I’m Tired” from Blazing Saddles.
	8:38pm Rluwi: ↳ Webhamster Henry @8:32 Cool!
	8:38pm Dan S: ↳ wendy del formaggio @8:37 Another good choice.
	8:38pm Listening Out There: Thought that might be Charo doing Touch Me. Oh, well…
	8:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Touch Me" by "La Lupe" Well, this is...different.
	8:39pm Michael: ↳ Webhamster Henry @8:32 Henry - I saw him do the John Waters Christmas Show in Boston about 5 years ago. It was great obviously.
	8:40pm David Shortell: ↳ Charlie @8:01 When Michael O'Donoghue wrote the song, he must've known NBC would reject it.
	8:41pm wendy del formaggio: Haha this is how rumors get started.
	8:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @8:40 Probably why he wrote it. Fighting horror with horror, one mortifying deadpan gag at a time.
	8:43pm Rluwi: I gotta find out about this Hoof 'N Mouth deal thingie, OMG, sounds great.
	8:43pm Webhamster Henry: Biiiiig Nothin' Please Mr. Sellack, Can I Have My Job Back?
	👻 8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Big Nuthin'" by "The Roches" Love this!
	8:45pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Big Nuthin'" by "The Roches" Speaking of Hoof & Mouth, I recall that Amanda and 2 other FMU folks channeled a Roches song at the last one, and it was a pretty good job.
	8:46pm Franco Twinkie: Hello Mister Charlie!
	8:48pm Chris S.: OMG! I stepped away, and you played Divine!!
	8:48pm Charlie: Howdy Franco!
	8:48pm Chris S.: And BRAK???
	8:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ Rluwi @8:43 www.youtube.com...
	8:49pm Charlie: ↳ Rluwi @8:43 Ruth - at the end of the annual WFMU fundraising marathon, there is a big party with live band karaoke and DJs singing. It's amazing!
	8:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Send in the Clowns" by "Tiger Lilies" In a strange way, this kind of works for this song. IMHO.
	8:52pm Rluwi: ↳ Charlie @8:49 Sounds delicious.
	8:53pm Rluwi: ↳ StringOFperils @8:48 Thank you String!
	8:54pm StringOFperils: It's live on the mothership's main page on the night of. It's a hoot.
	8:55pm spodiodi: thank you, Charlie! great fun
	8:55pm Dan S: Here's a link to the 2024 H&M: wfmu.org...
	8:57pm CDToaster: Hi Charlie, (mta) Tony here, hoping and wondering if you're going to continue casting into Rich from Washington's Broken Radio slot since he's regrettably out today? Would that be too much for you? Perhaps you already have plans and won't be able to? If I missed your previous answer to this, I apologize, but I'm sure we'd love to hear more from you. Happy Holidaze!
	8:57pm Charlie: Thanks for being here everyone! Got one more song, might go over a couple minutes. But Rich will not be on tonight, so it's OK;)
	8:58pm wendy del formaggio: It’s Bacharach Time!
	8:58pm Dan S: A fine show, Charlie! Some of the best nothing I've heard on WFMU lately! Thanks!
	8:58pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Knowing When to Leave" by "Dionne Warwick" Knowing When To Leave's fanfare is my "wake up" ringtone.
	8:58pm Michael: Thanks Charlie!
	8:59pm Chris S.: Very nice Charlie! Thanks!!
	8:59pm wendy del formaggio: …with a complicated time signature, of course. Probably more than one.
	👻 8:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks Charlie, listening while cooking, loved the show!
	8:59pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Person" by "Deanna Storey" A great movie. Depressing as all hell.
	8:59pm wendy del formaggio: Such a nice show, Charlie. Thank you! xo
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Missed the earlier part of the show, but the last half was fantastic. Thanks, Charlie!
	9:01pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @8:55 My favorite H&M performance of 2024 was Michele doing "You Think You're A Man." Michele hates it, however.
	9:01pm StringOFperils: Thanks Charlie. :)
	9:02pm Rluwi: Good night all! Great stuff, Charlie!
	9:02pm Erik/VT: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Person" by "Deanna Storey" - that song does things to my🫀& emotions … killer. & yea DanS: agree that film is sad, most especially now that PSHoffman is gone (so tragically). Sigh 😔
	9:02pm schmutz: wonderful, as always. thanks charlie!
	9:03pm Yvang: Thanks Charlie!
	9:03pm Webhamster Henry: So long, Charlie!
	9:04pm Charlie: See y'all! <3
