	12:58pm dan: @UM Does that hint that that is the next song?
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: certainly not
	🛒 1:01pm nostrangerer: There are so many possibilities, best just to sit back and let Uncle Michael drive and enjoy the sights as they go by.
	1:01pm Jeff Golick: Who's Cale's band on this?
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: If you get bored, there are Mad-Libs in the door pocket.
	1:02pm rw: 3
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Jeff... (LCD Soundsystem). I may have cheated.
	1:03pm Jeff Golick: Was wondering; sounded great. NOT cheating, not at all.
	1:05pm Hopey Sockmonkey: It's just a tiiiiny bit of a cheat. But, these sets have been wonderful!
	1:06pm rw: John Cale can get anyone he chooses to cover whatever he wants. I say not cheating.

	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Dammit, Chuck.
	1:16pm rw: Uncle Michael just blew your next move!
	1:16pm Roberto: Ay no que le paso a la cancion?
	1:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael!
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! Wendy!
	1:17pm burke: checkmate!
	1:18pm Roberto: Dios mio que ocurre aqui?
	1:18pm Michael 98145: Love that Kirsty version
	1:20pm Jeff Golick: This one also a John Cale callback!
	1:22pm Michael 98145: never knew Bowie did a version ...
	🛒 1:22pm nostrangerer: Ok guessing Barbara Streisand now.
	🛒 1:23pm CHUCK ROAST: 37
	1:24pm dan: The next song is gonna be "Don't Rain on My Parade"
	1:25pm Roberto: How did Bowie not like this version?
	1:25pm burke: Ah, Barbra reinterpreted this one and had MICKEY Mouse growing up a cow.
	1:25pm geezerette: Streisand does Bowie?! hahaha,
	🛒 1:25pm nostrangerer: And if I knew how to spell Streisand would have commented sooner. Don't know how I guessed that because never heard it before. Freaky.
	1:27pm Jeff Golick: Don't forget how to spell "Barbra," too. She could really enunciate the hell out of a lyric.
	1:27pm geezerette: Aretha, wow!
	1:28pm dan: Just a quick question, who do you think had a better singing voice, Barbra Streisand or Carole King?
	1:28pm geezerette: Acting more like Streisand than Streisand!
	🛒 1:33pm CHUCK ROAST: @Robertoh that is Nick "White Shoes" Bonucci and his dear, departed brother, Peewee
	1:38pm johnk77: amanda mcbroom wrote the rose great show selecter@um
	1:42pm Roberto: @chuck, are you referring to the kitties I remarked about last week?
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: John! Thanks.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Should I make the cover chain an October set piece and do one every Hellraiser?
	🛒 1:44pm CHUCK ROAST: Yes
	1:44pm Roberto: Lol, you remembered. Sorry about Peewee.
	1:44pm doctorjazz: Hey alli, too busy to post, but enjoying three sounds, love this Butler version!
	1:44pm βrian: I think "subpoena" is losing its cachet as a spelling bee item.
	1:45pm dan: You can't beat the Supremes/Temptations of this song.
	1:45pm geezerette: UM, yes!!!
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Ahhh, great sequence, Dionne!!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	1:47pm northguineahills: Forgot to compliment you on the LCD Soundsystem, and I thought I heard all of their stuff...
	1:48pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Michael: This is a difficult and intellectually challenging segue scheme! But: productive!

	1:48pm Michael 98145: lotsa work done for us

	🛒 1:52pm CHUCK ROAST: Masquenada, next ?
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Lani Hall, Brian.
	1:54pm northguineahills: Anything Sergio Mendes!
	1:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: My favorite version of "Going Out of My Head" might be by Three Peas in a Podd, and you can listen for yourself here: blog.wfmu.org...
	1:54pm geezerette: Especially loving this set, such good song writing. Blown away by this show's concept, UM.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for that, Wendy.
	1:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: You're welcome, Uncle Michael. The whole album is a gem, especially "Misty."
	1:57pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm done guessing and now am just enjoying this fantastic set.
	1:57pm Webhamster Henry: Agaus without Elis.
	1:59pm Webhamster Henry: And he's really rushing through it!
	2:08pm dan: I guess you'll be playing one of the many covers of "Que Sera Sera".
	2:09pm geezerette: This Doris Day version of How Insensitive is gorgeous.
	🛒 2:11pm nostrangerer: OMG! Please tell me that there is a Doris Day bossa nova album that I haven't heard yet!
	2:12pm geezerette: haha! UM
	2:13pm annie: i riled a laundry-room visitor this afternoon when i told him i didn't care for tom petty's music, never did; he informed me that TP was dead and i shouldn't speak ill of those who have moved on... okey dokey pokey
	2:14pm dan: Country doo-wop
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Say what you like, annie. I'll agree or disagree as needed...to myself...or not.

	2:19pm Kat: LMAO Annie!
	2:19pm geezerette: Always love the Country sets.
	2:20pm Kat: I thought I was the only one that felt that way about TP!
	2:20pm John from Florham park: @annie that pisses me off when people say that you should not do things like that, what a jerk
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: NEVER discuss music in a laundry room.
	2:22pm John from Florham park: @Uncle Michael amen to that, one of the reasons why I love this station is all the music styles I love to listen too and the chat boards have some pretty knowledgeable people on it at times
	🛒 2:23pm nostrangerer: George sounded pretty good on that.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: He sure did.
	2:25pm northguineahills: Waiting for UM to take a mic break so I can make a phone call....
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Don't call me during a mic break!
	2:27pm Pedro in Arlington: This is a brilliant program, UM, proving you could manage the Cubs.
	2:27pm John from Florham park: @NGH howdy
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I don't want the job!
	2:28pm Pedro in Arlington: I don't blame ya. Lived in Chicago for 8 years and that pizza is gross. Snot pie.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: hey now
	2:30pm dan: @Pedro Being a New Yorker, I'm well accustomed to the classic pizza.
	2:30pm geezerette: Nat King Cole :)
	2:30pm annie: we DID, however, agree about our love for Roy Orbison. so we parted friends... good thing; we live on the same floor
	2:34pm geezerette: L.A.'s western suburbs are burning.
	2:36pm annie: @ Geezerette: my son lived in Lancaster....SO glad he moved two months ago, back to the bosom of the catskills
	2:37pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hi geezerette! It is fire season and you can smell the smoke all over the basin.
	2:37pm Stanley: Hi Uncle. I've wandered in from God knows where.
	2:38pm Webhamster Henry: This song provided much needed employment to sha-la-la-la-looers.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!!
	2:39pm Kat: Your show is awesome today Uncle!
	🛒 2:39pm CHUCK ROAST: Yeah, Bob has done better work.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Kat.
	2:40pm dan: The next song is gonna be The Beatles covering "Words of Love"
	2:41pm geezerette: @Annie, glad too! He did the right thing.
	2:46pm Pedro in Arlington: I worked with a music guy who told Del what a great song this is. And Del responded that it made him feel awful remembering the awful experience it was written about.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Wow, Pedro....I want it to be fiction.
	2:47pm Little Danny: Always loved the little pocketwatch motif of that Del Shannon album cover. Great show UM, had you on for inspiration whilst fiddling with mixer outputs and mic levels
	🛒 2:47pm nostrangerer: Smooth move @UM!
	2:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Holy wow, this Hats Off To Larry cover is amazing.
	2:48pm dan: Well clearly, the next song is gonna be "Sukiyaki" possible A Taste of honey's version
	2:48pm geezerette: Hi Hopey, you're in Ca. too then? It's pretty much fire season all the time unless it's raining. This music is hot in a good way.
	2:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @dan So close!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Danny!
	🛒 2:49pm nostrangerer: LOL. How many campus parties were the singing in Japanese
	2:51pm annie: (Note to self: Manouri sheep cheese makes a poor grilled cheese....)
	🛒 2:51pm nostrangerer: Lunch time is over but I'm riveted to see how the last link connects.
	2:51pm geezerette: GREAT show, UM! Thanks!
	2:54pm Goyim in the AM: The Three Degrees have done a lot of quality covers over the years -- this show will end well regardless.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 11, 2019

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	1:27pm geezerette: Aretha, wow!

	1:45pm dan: You can't beat the Supremes/Temptations of this song.
	1:45pm geezerette: UM, yes!!!
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Ahhh, great sequence, Dionne!!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Doc!

	2:09pm geezerette: This Doris Day version of How Insensitive is gorgeous.
	🛒 2:11pm nostrangerer: OMG! Please tell me that there is a Doris Day bossa nova album that I haven't heard yet!
	2:12pm geezerette: haha! UM
	2:13pm annie: i riled a laundry-room visitor this afternoon when i told him i didn't care for tom petty's music, never did; he informed me that TP was dead and i shouldn't speak ill of those who have moved on... okey dokey pokey

	2:21pm Uncle Michael: NEVER discuss music in a laundry room.

	🛒 2:23pm nostrangerer: George sounded pretty good on that.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: He sure did.
	2:25pm northguineahills: Waiting for UM to take a mic break so I can make a phone call....

	2:29pm Uncle Michael: hey now
	2:30pm dan: @Pedro Being a New Yorker, I'm well accustomed to the classic pizza.
