"Sung to".

SPAZZ-MAN!!! da-da-da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:06pm coelacanth:

i was hoping you were going to say you were serving eggnog.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:08pm pacific standard simon:

It's my mother-in-law's birthday, too -- 91 years old today! Wow!
  10:10pm Carmichael:

As a man, I have never served eggnog.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:12pm pacific standard simon:

Screw the eggnog. Cut to the chase and serve bourbon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:13pm coelacanth:

happy birthday 91-year-olds everywhere! ..and it's my grand-nephew's b'day (he's 2)...
and it's circumcision day! (fun!)
...as a man,i HAVE served eggnog,many years ago...but not as anything else.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm pacific standard simon:

I know Dave is probably thinking, "What are these losers talking about about while I'm playing this awesome music?" But he hasn't seen me bopping around to the archives while I'm alone at work.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:20pm coelacanth:

well,if there's no eggnog,i might just have a beer.
excuse me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:21pm pacific standard simon:

My father's mother got to be 96 -- as far as I know, that's a family record. If I live that long, I can look forward to greeting the 2053 New Year celebration.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm pacific standard simon:

There's a Jack Webb School of Acting. Nothing official, but you can see it in the work of David Caruso, and that Asian guy on The Mentalist TV show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm coelacanth:

not yet...Happy new beer!
Avatar 10:30pm bobdoesthings:

good evening
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm pacific standard simon:

Feels pretty good to me, bob.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:34pm pacific standard simon:

Did JAY AND THE AMERICANS ever get invited to the White House, like the Turtles did?
Avatar 10:34pm bobdoesthings:

@pss - wasn't making a declarative statement, but a greeting. Glad to hear it's good though! Can't be bad when it's spazz time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm pacific standard simon:

Either way, hoo-hah!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm Dave the Spazz:

No, but Jay and the Americans have a long-standing invitation to reunite on this show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm coelacanth:

teengenerate steam heat
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:50pm pacific standard simon:

That Jay and the Americans family tree is a hot mess -- good luck!
  10:57pm V Priceless:

Well, Jay #2 only viable option for a reunion, as they are still going with Jay #3, and sadly, Jay #1 is dust.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:58pm pacific standard simon:

By the way, there used to be a bar at 18th Street & Mission, in San Francisco, named "The Three Jays". Perfect spot, if it were still there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:00pm coelacanth:

YES!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:02pm pacific standard simon:

Favorite Zombies track = "Beechwood Park".
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm coelacanth:

that Nathaniel Mayer song represents the most i've ever paid for music. ($20./7")...first heard it on wfmu in the 80s during a marathon,which i was taping; but someone yelled the pledge phone # right in the middle of it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm pacific standard simon:

Dave's archive is the Mount Rushmore of Nathaniel Mayer sculpture,

Thank you sir.
  11:14pm JakeGould:

Thank you for the “Honky Tonk Blues.” Right song at the right moment here.

It says here that Mario Cuomo kicked the bucket.
  11:20pm JakeGould:

I love Sam Cooke in a strongly heterosexual way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm coelacanth:

"i sing the song because i Loved the man.
i know that some of you don't understand."
Avatar 11:27pm bobdoesthings:

decorate my genitals... now you got me thinking..
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm coelacanth:

...the first "notable" death of the year...let's not waste any time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm pacific standard simon:

My favorite Bond melody ever.
  11:29pm V Priceless:

"you only live twice" has got to be as close to perfect as a song can get, IMO.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm coelacanth:

i cannot believe it. i've been saying that to people for years. i never knew there was a song by that title.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30pm coelacanth:

(...and maybe a Bond movie?)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm pacific standard simon:

Harry Harrison says, "Have you read my novel, The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm coelacanth:

you only play the song twice.
  11:33pm V Priceless:

..and Bowie's birthday too (same day as Elvis). 68, maybe?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm pacific standard simon:

I'm just going to shut up while this song plays.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:38pm Gaylord Fields:

My pleasure on the Sam Cooke tip, Spazz! I especially like that right after he ad libs the "I ain't got leukemia" line, he cracks himself up thinking about what he just said while trying to sing the next line. You and me both, Sam.
  11:39pm JakeGould:

Ahhh, Mary Weiss… So morose.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm coelacanth:

i think this is the same as "you can never go home anymore",with different lyrics.
Avatar 11:42pm bobdoesthings:

i thought this was the fugs for a second..hah
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:43pm pacific standard simon:

This is all double-tracked -- no Shangri-Las.
  11:44pm JakeGould:

So the theme between the Shangri-Las and the Cliick Kids: Teenagers who have not been properly laid or at least made-out with?
Avatar 11:45pm bobdoesthings:

hahaha awhhh man!! haha
  11:48pm JakeGould:

Neil Dick sounds a bit like Lou Reed… Also, someone please take this kid out on a soda date.
  11:48pm JakeGould:

“Here name is Chastity…” Seals the meta-theme in my mind.
Avatar 11:49pm bobdoesthings:

I thought he said "boner brigade" .. and yeah the chastity bit seemed weird.. what an intro..
  11:49pm Carmichael:

Sounds like Cher's sister.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm pacific standard simon:

With this song, I can stop hating my parents for a minute.
  11:50pm V Priceless:

Fab show, Dave! Cheers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm coelacanth:

...not weirder than naming your daughter "Chastity"!
Avatar 11:52pm bobdoesthings:

Chastity is not a name you name your daughter but a name that your daughter takes on after years of you not being a parent.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm coelacanth:

...although my niece's roommate's name is "Perfection"...just as stupid.
  11:54pm Dave the Spazz:

G'night! See ya on EP Day.
  11:54pm JakeGould:

My fave Ramones song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:54pm coelacanth:

yeah,i had an Aunt Chastity.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:58pm coelacanth:

Dave you always jump the gun!
Thanks! Adios! hors dourves.
