	♥ 9:01am David (in London): Hello Yippers. Howdy Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02am p20: Hi David, Joe, everyone! Happy Monday!
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am WoodsOfNH: I need some boing in my life.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am Marley P. Dogg: Happy yip day everyone! Hope everyone is well
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am Strandlund: Boing Boing Boing Boing...It's the great Joe McGasko!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04am Handy Haversack: Morning to you, Joe, and to all the Yipsters.
	9:04am Davee: Happy, happy, happy
	9:05am Davee: Hello Joe, how are you holding up?
	🎸 ♥ 9:05am LastWhiteRhino: Joe.....Hello.
	♥ 9:06am Crudbringer: I don't have to be crazy to be here, in fact mental health is no joking matter. Morning all.
	♥ 9:06am David (in London): Hey p20. How are you sir? I thought of you on Saturday as I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off for nostalgia value (Because it was set in Chicago, not because you're a ringer for Matthew Broderick I should add). Hey Handy. Greenings to Greetpoint.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am melinda: Hi friends
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am LastWhiteRhino: Where would this world be without Violins ?
	♥ 9:08am Crudbringer: We'd really be plucked!
	♥ 9:09am David (in London): Crudbringer, executive burn-out is getting to you. Throttle back my man. Hey melinda.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Handy Haversack: David, how goes? We are waiting for John Q. Law to come around and tell us we have to move our car for the first time in two months. A rollicking start to the week. How's (action hero and celebrated wit) Stone Newkington?
	9:09am David Freeman: Love Neel Murgai - Love the World Raga Jams
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Had this odd idea whilst weeding the garden that you might play a protest song set. I aint a weeding any more.
	♥ 9:09am Joe McG: Welcome to the show, radio friends, thanks for stopping by to say hello. Parental warning: There will be violins, there may be some sax.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Brian in UK: David are you recumbent in the garden?
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am p20: Hi D(iL): Ferris Bueller is a great Chicago movie, as is Blues Brothers. I'm a total cinema snob, I usually watch art films, but the appeal of those two, especially for Chicagoans, is undeniable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: Violins on the median -- I'm all for them!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am Krys O.: Greetings!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am p20: What's the best London movie?
	♥ 9:13am David (in London): Brian, where have all your flowers gone? Long time passing. Still at the kitchen table at present, but will be heading into the garden (Maud) soon. Handy - Oh, bummer, sorry to hear that. Just what you need. Stone is quiet, but sunny and sends its regards. p20 - I'm a film snob myself (mostly), but I count John Hughes as a high quality auteur, so am happy to watch any of his. FBDO has so much going on in it. Man, I was howling with laughter too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am LastWhiteRhino: Sax, and Dirges, and Rock and Roll ?
	🎸 ♥ 9:14am Brian in UK: A piece of fluff called Spring in Park Lane. It was directed by my Nan's brother.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14am p20: The Neel Murgai track was fantastic, thanks Joe for playing that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH: Speaking of film, we watched Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice over the weekend. Boy, what a time capsule that thing is!
	9:15am judy from croton: As my son said, at age 12, when we whispering about renting a video, “I love sex”! He now has 3 kids
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Can there be any doubt? American Werewolf in London!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: p20, please avoid www.imdb.com...
	♥ 9:16am David (in London): p20 - Jesus, best London movie? That's a tough one. Given your tastes, one you might not know but might like a lot is 'Duffer', which is the proto-Eraserhead.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Threemoons: Good morning Joe, fellow Yip Yips. LOVE this track.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: @p20: You bet! @judy: Wow, he really did!
	♥ 9:19am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am p20: D(iL): Good suggestion, you are correct that I've never heard of that film, will check it out soon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am melinda: @Woods it really is a great time capsule.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22am p20: Looking for Neel Murgai on Discogs, he only has 2 albums, which is a bit hard to believe. But I see that his Brooklyn Raga Massive did a collaboration with Adam Rudolph's Go:Organic Orchestra, that must be fantastic (because everything I've heard from Adam Rudolph is top-quality)
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am WoodsOfNH: @melinda No doubt. Really enjoyed it though. Kind of nice to watch something with no cgi or crazed jump-cuts.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: While the field is crowded, obviously, I'd put up Ghostbusters as one of the great NYC movies. Since we're on a FBDO, Blues Bros. level. I was pretty disappointed when I met Bill Murray and served up the softball, "You know where this ladder goes," he wasn't ready with "It goes up."
	♥ 9:24am David (in London): p20 - It's a dark and unsettling watch, but it's a real cinematic outlier. Uncredited and amazing electronic score by Delia Derbyshire to boot. Yo, Phillippe. What's happening at Chateau Bastille today?
	♥ 9:24am Phillippe Bastille: Keen Eddie was an American tv show set in London that I thought was pretty good at making me feel like I was there. It had a very young Sienna Miller before she briefly became a somebody before becoming a nobody again, and really nice turns from Mark Valley and Colin Salmon. In typical Fox network fashion, it was cancelled before finding its audience.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25am LastWhiteRhino: YIN YIN reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch as a kid, Tin Tin and his dog Snowy.
	♥ 9:25am Phillippe Bastille: Hey DiL, just hanging out at the computer in the shed. You?
	9:26am jean genie: yessssss brand new khru!!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am Hughie Considine: Morning all. Obsessed with Khruangbin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am Marley P. Dogg: Yes! Love me some Khruangbin! Thanks joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am p20: D(iL): That's some real syncronicity. My wife and I were just talking about Delia Derbyshire last night! (We were sorting LPs together, she picked up a copy of "The Dreams" and asked me about it).
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am Threemoons: You see, I LOVE WFMU because I discover so much amazing new and new to me music on it. I never heard of Kruangbin until a few seconds ago and now I know I will have this song as an earbug for the rest of the day!! :)
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Phillippe, likewise really. Just about to knock off for a bit and snack. p20 - Then this conversation was meant to be! Tip o' the cap to Mr Jung.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29am Brian in UK: S'funny, Bill Fay is on Dead Oceans.
	♥ 9:29am adampsyche: exactly what Threemoons said
	♥ 9:30am TDK60: Hoppity hop, I'm late, I'm late for a very important radio date.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: Don't worry, TDK60 -- we kept it warm for you. Hey, Phillippe!
	♥ 9:31am David (in London): It's TDK Rabbit. Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am WoodsOfNH: More coffee? Second breakfast? More coffee AND second breakfast? Decisions...
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Brian in UK: Joe, the Man with the Four Way Hips is my favourite Tom Tom song title.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am melinda: Before looking at the playlist I was thinking to myself 'I love this, reminds me of Tom Tom Club'
	♥ 9:35am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning, Handy! Hey, we saw our first Common Goldeneye yesterday! From what I read, they have become fairly rare in the Chesapeake, their numbers dropping significantly from the 80s
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Am I the only one that thinks Tina Weymouth should have done more of the singing in Talking Heads?
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am steveo: good morning! great picks, Joe; I'm having a wonderful time listening
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am steveo: I reckon you are not the only one :)
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Hey steveo, glad you are enjoying the show. A bit peppier to start than usual!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Nice, Phillippe! I love goldeneyes. Hoping to maybe get on the water this week, at least briefly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am Brian in UK: Joe, kind of agree but it was confidence in her singing that she needed. IMO. Oh and Byrne's approval.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am p20: not ready for this level of pep - need more coffee!
	♥ 9:40am n8th3gr8: thank you so much for playing The Ann Steel Album track!! I have vague memories but have been trying forever to remember the name of the artist/album.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Agreed. They could have done a John Doe/Exene sort of thing. Would have been cool.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @n8: Happy to oblige!
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am steveo: speaking of Tony Coulter, that'd be cool to get him on the air here while remote fill-ins are permissible...
	♥ 9:43am TDK60: An idea I had, WFMU DJs interviewing other WFMU DJs on their shows, playing some of their choices, highlighting their shows, even across other streams.
	♥ 9:43am Baja Joe: Hello Joe
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Threemoons: Week starting off with a bang. To make a long story short, I had a good problem--way too many Meyer lemons for reasons too convoluted to get into. So as of last night, I now have Too Much Meyer Lemon Marmalade, a jar of Meyer Lemons Preserved in Salt in the fridge, and Tunisian Style Meyer Lemons in Olive Oil. I am especially proud of the marmelade; have not made it in years. May have some in some tea....I need caffeine....
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Threemoons: Getting most marmalades to set up can be a pain. I didn't bother to do the whole thing with de-seeding and putting the seeds in a little bag for pectin; these were organic so I just washed em and sliced the whole lemon up, seeds and all, by hand, with a Chinese veg cleaver sharp enough to split atoms.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am ratso: Good morning, joe, and crew.
	9:47am morphe': Tony Coulter - as an old man once said (and me too not long ago regadring another ex-dj) Tony Coulter - now that's a name i have not heard for a very long time...
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Handy Haversack: Sounds pretty great, Threemoons!
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am 12539: This can't be today!
	♥ 9:50am Chris S: Neel Murgai is great. He played with Loren Connors in Haunted House.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am p20: Wait what?, you can make marmalade at home? This is some news I can use! (I was really shocked to learn that you can make coffee at home. This lockdown is turning out to be quite educational).
	♥ 9:51am TDK60: Tony Coulter is still holding forth on WFMU, the Drummer Stream. Tuesdays noon-3.
	9:51am judy from croton: @Threemoons: too much Meyer lemon marmalade? It does not compute
	9:52am morphe': Tony Coulter - just discovered he is still active on Give the Drummmer Some - continuously since 2002!!!!!
	9:52am Brendan: Stop you had me at funky turkey
	9:52am judy from croton: Hahaha p20; yes, coffee at home
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am melinda: @Woods I like B&C&T&A too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am 12539: AC3P0!
	9:53am morphe': TDK - thanks ... I think you told me that long ago but I never looked until today.. Does Tony still do WKCR? I can check that....
	♥ 9:54am Chris S: You won the tickets... you just have to spell AI DC
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am Handy Haversack: Now we just need to tell the bot about human anatomy.
	9:54am Miles: so the algorithm came up w the lyrics solely?
	♥ 9:54am Switchblade Batman: TBF, if no one told me the story behind this song I would totally think it's an AC DC song
	9:54am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe McG I’m dyyying from this!!! Too many women with the balls!
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am steveo: this wow
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am listener Rey: I'm up to my eyeballs in work lately but I had to take break to come here and say Great Balls is Fire!!
	9:55am Rachel Bo Bachel: Handy lol
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am lukavino: this has me Muttley wheezing.
	9:55am Itzall Hear: Ai/DC RULES! Will they tour virtually with ai Bowie?!?
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am Matt Fiveash: Wow!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am ratso: I think it's better than anything that was on the 3 most recent ACDC records.
	9:55am Erin in TO: This is the best ACDC song I've ever heard
	9:55am Terr in DE: naw, guitar s too laid back
	9:55am Zetti: cool
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: This is hilarious
	9:55am ?: am i dreaming?!?
	♥ 9:56am happymaan: What that AI DC song was something else, thanks Joe!
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Further info: www.nme.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am LastWhiteRhino: Are these real chicks or AI chicks?
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am Brian in UK: These were the days when birds were also called chicks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am LastWhiteRhino: Yay, Juniper, June 1st is near.
	10:00am Brendan: The computer accelerated the The infinite monkey theorem . It’s not Shakespeare, but then I wonder if Hamlet generated as much buzz at its opening as AI/DC.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Brian in UK: This sounds a bit like a Stephin Merritt song, that he has not written yet.
	♥ 10:00am PigeonsAndRust: I put down my tools for a minute to come in and say that ACDC track was epic. And that I wish Andy Breckman would do an acoustic cover of it. Back to work now. Keep up the greatness Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: For those about to Yip Yip!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Thanks for stopping by, P&R!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Threemoons: P20--it's really easy to make marmalade. You just want to be sure that you are using organic fruit that hasn't been sprayed with crap because you're eating the whole thing, skin and all. All you need is lots of sugar, lots of citrus, a pot, and time. You don't even need a candy thermometer.
	♥ 10:03am Rev. Turnip Druid: violently in favor of marmalade.
	♥ 10:04am TDK60: Morphe, Didn't know Coulter had been on WKCR.
	10:05am Sam: Wow! Incredible track!
	♥ 10:05am Chop Scott: Good Morning Joe!
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Chop Scott! Early riser! ;)
	10:06am Itzall Hear: OK. I'm going to go ahead and say it- Andrew Gold IS really Joe McG. Clever façade, but it's SO obvious if you listen.
	♥ 10:07am David (in London): Yo Rev, I've had some carrot cake waiting for you. Hey morphe.
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Itzall: Ha ha ha! We both have a great beard.
	10:07am Itzall Hear: Of course, ALL folk singers have to.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am p20: 3Moons: I'm going to get some organic fruit and try it!
	10:08am davefromtoronto: homeboy can still write good tunes.
	10:13am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	10:13am Jeffrey Davison: Joe, killing it as usual. I missed the Tirez Tirez. That takes me back!
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Hey JD! Hey Alex! Thanks for tuning in today and saying hello, everyone.
	10:16am Melissa Jean: mornin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Thanks for the AC/DC thing. For as much as I soured on technology (as I sitting here typing into a chat room...hypocrite!!), THAT was freaking hilarious.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Woods: Glad you enjoyed! I figured if it made me laugh it would make other people laugh. Hi, Melissa Jean! Hi, Trista! ;)
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am pantz: Sounds a lot like Aimee Mann. I love it!
	10:20am Melissa Jean: Pantz I was thinkin that too!
	♥ 10:20am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Threemoons: p20 good luck! ENJOY!
	10:21am tim from Champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and folks!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Threemoons: @Rev Turnip Druid--it's good to have strong feelings about marmalade! Put a spoonfull into my mug of black tea; good stuff! Very old-school Eastern European also!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Handy Haversack: Morning, Greg!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Threemoons: passes around enormous jar of Meyer Lemon Marmalade, tasting spoons
	10:23am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe your chill vibe always manages to calm my otherwise very rambunctious 4 year old. She is currently lounging on a throw pillow staring at a ribbon that she is slowly twirling around. Ahh, I can finally drink my coffee!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am Ken From Hyde Park: @RBB - Have you drawn up plans for her pillow fort yet? That may keep her occupied.
	♥ 10:24am Glorious Estephonic: i love that rose ribbon visual Rachel Bo Bachel ! my guy is finally chilling too
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Rachel: I'm happy to hear that I have the ability to lull children into a stupor. Maybe I can turn this into some kind of mail-order business. :)
	♥ 10:26am TDK60: The only rock band with a bridge named after them, I think.
	10:26am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ken good idea! A special pillow fort. Hi Estephonic! Luv u grrrl!
	♥ 10:28am Joe McG: Oboe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am p20: @TDK60: My research team informs me that there is a Black Sabbath bridge in Birmingham
	10:35am wild neil peace all: hey all! looking for work again....house husbanding and doing maintenance and building a tree house. Hey RTD IN DC!
	10:37am Davee: This is funny
	10:37am Miles: well not exactly a cover cuz BobD hadn't released a version
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Miles: Good point!
	10:39am Miles: I was correcting myself & a comment that didn't post re dylan
	10:41am Doctor B: That's Bread? Sounds kind of garagey!
	♥ 10:42am Creature Boy: Mae West does an ok version of If You Gotta Go
	♥ 10:44am TDK60: P20, didn't know, thanks. What a team you have.
	10:44am Kat in Chicago in the app: Flip side of “Somebody’s Watching You,” right? I had this when I was a kid.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am pantz: I grew up on Andy Griffith reruns. Almost like he was a second father. I saw Face In The Crowd as an adult and it was painful to see him playing a huckster Trump character. He's versatile.
	♥ 10:45am Creature Boy: I like this instrumentation along w that vinyl sound
	♥ 10:46am TDK60: Bo!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Kat: Correct!
	♥ 10:46am Creature Boy: I can Tell is a go-to 45! always kills
	♥ 10:48am RobinSays: Very groovy Little Sister track. Bo Diddley! I saw him performe in Central Park many moons ago. The next day I saw him walking near Washington Square Park. I yelled out "Hey! Bo Diddley," alal the cal and response he did from t he Central Park stage. He smiled and nodded.
	♥ 10:49am Creature Boy: What year was the Central pk show?
	♥ 10:50am RobinSays: Oooh, way back, 1989 I think.
	♥ 10:52am TDK60: I got to play /with/ Bo in '85!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Handy Haversack: @TDK60: Amazing! That's so cool.
	10:54am phat: french 70s country? amazing.
	♥ 10:54am Creature Boy: Googled it affirmative 89 - the year I left NY for good
	♥ 10:54am Creature Boy: Yes very cool tdk
	♥ 10:54am TDK60: It was tops fun, Handy. I have a recording and photo.
	10:55am V Priceless: Hucklebuck! Woo! Joe!
	10:56am melissa: Many years ago there was a DJ premium that was a cassette of every version of the Hucklebuck ever recored. Time for a reissue?
	♥ 10:57am TDK60: Where's Gaylord F.? He's a '72 guy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Handy Haversack: Radiators were a class act all the way!
	♥ 11:02am Gaylord Fields: @TDK60: If a 1972 single is played, I'm never far away.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am karlward: Hello Darlin
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am karlward: All the way
	♥ 11:04am Rev. Turnip Druid: Still carrying the torch & waving the flag for 1971. And yet we get along. Because nice-nice.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am efd: Play it again, band: wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Handy Haversack: www.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am Handy Haversack: D'oh -- efd way ahead of me!
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am efd: good effort, Handy. :)
	11:05am Melissa Jean: oh maaaaaaaaaaan Cool Jerk was def my fave song to dance to as a kiddo...

	11:06am Jeffrey Davison: Cool Jerk, 1966, originally on Karen Records https://www.discogs.com/The-Capitols-Cool-Jerk/release/2212194
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: Praise from Caesar!
	11:06am carl from providence: thank you for the great music from rhode island
	♥ 11:06am Joe McG: Thanks for posting that, efd and Handy!
	♥ 11:06am coelacanth∅: damn, David reminding me rest in peace Phil May
	♥ 11:07am Joe McG: Hi, Carl from RI!
	11:07am ?: Pretty Thing that Buzz the Jerk tune
	♥ 11:08am David (in London): Coela - Yeah, what a downer. Todd-o-Phonic did a good tribute on Saturday. Did you catch it?
	♥ 11:08am Gaylord Fields: @Rev. Turnip Druid: Lucky for me that loving 1972 doesn't preclude my also enjoying the music of 1971. As long as we both agree that 1973 was a garbage year!
	♥ 11:08am coelacanth∅: (...and human sexual response did an excellent version of cool jerk on their first album)
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am karlward: coelacanth∅: TOPT show yesterday had a great Phil May tribute: www.wfmu.org...
	11:08am carl from providence: Keep on, Keepin' on!
	11:08am Quinn: My 2-yo informed me that this is rock and roll
	♥ 11:08am coelacanth∅: David i didn't, but i will! Thanks
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am karlward: ...and David in London beat me to the punch
	♥ 11:09am David (in London): Gaylord - 'Raw Power' is at the door and wants a word...
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am WoodsOfNH: This is the best Sammy Hagar song EVER!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am Handy Haversack: It was great, @coela. Listen esp. to Todd's intro. Really good stuff.
	♥ 11:10am coelacanth∅: and karlward ...i happen to be somewhere in the midst of a pretty things festival that started a few weeks ago.
	♥ 11:12am TDK60: Hi Gaylord. Yeah, Rev T.D. '71 was swell too.
	♥ 11:14am Gaylord Fields: @David (in London): I'm obviously kidding, and you wouldn't necessarily know this, but people are referring specifically to the two radio shows I did with Bronwyn Bishop on the pop hits of 1972: www.wfmu.org... www.wfmu.org...
	11:15am Itzall Hear: Silicon Teens part of this Mem-Phest?...
	♥ 11:16am coelacanth∅: and hey Handy!
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am The Oscar: Mornin'! Negativland has warped this one forever for me.
	11:17am davefromtoronto: whoa - who thought this needed to be done twice?..
	♥ 11:17am coelacanth∅: ? ...didn't Ethel Merman warp it for you first?!
	♥ 11:17am David (in London): Gaylord - I was only kidding, too. It just gave me an in to mention Raw Power, which is something I'm wont to do. Thanks for the links, too! Sadly I rarely get to hear your show in real time due to the time difference. sad face
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am The Oscar: (I also know what's coming next, and I'm excited :)
	11:17am Bill W: Wondering if disco version is next...
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am karlward: Tell me Ethel did a post punk version of this
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, coela! Joe, Kate and I will be listening to the rest of the show -- but we have to do it out in the car while we wait for the parking cops to do their pass for the ticket-revenue day -- er, the return of street cleaning rules. Great show! I'll rejoin all of you some time in 3CM ...
	11:18am morphe': Crazy BBC Radio 4- Patsy Cline - never knew Willie Nelson wrote it nor that she died in a small plane crash returning from a gig: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03zy246
	♥ 11:18am dave wuz here: edith masse is my ethel merman
	♥ 11:18am Creature Boy: Everything the disco will allow
	11:19am davefromtoronto: that would be my hell - hearing her sing like that for eternity...
	♥ 11:19am Yes: :)
	♥ 11:19am Roberto: Oh no she didn't.
	♥ 11:19am Dominick: Now yer talkin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am nortonjutland: joey..joey...this is way too much fun! thanks

	11:20am Brendan: This is cruel
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am pantz: Studio 1954!
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am Matt Fiveash: Inspired concept, Joe, and it serves to illustrate that there really is nobiz like showbiz.
	♥ 11:20am TDK60: Listen to that hi-hat.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @BillW: Ha ha ha! @Matt: There are so many! I probably should've done another full-length special, but even I have my limits. :)
	♥ 11:21am David (in London): Disco Merman. Christ on a bike. I'm lost for words.
	11:21am steveL: Yes. Why, why, why, baby?
	11:21am 10-David: Why does her voice sound like that, is she okay?
	11:21am Crei6hton: Good morning
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am karlward: Oh the breakdown
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am JtotheK: Looks like this Ethel Merman disco album is going to SKYROCKET to the top of my 'must find' list. Hi Joe, enjoying the show! Hi everyone.
	♥ 11:21am RobinSays: Disco versions of anything make me recall being a kid in NYC during the late '70s. I really wanted to go to Studio 54 when I was in fifth grade.
	♥ 11:21am duke: "He thinks he's Ethel Merman" www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:21am Creature Boy: The pusher the baker
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am pantz: There isn't enough blow in Columbia to make me want to dance to this one.
	11:22am DJ Guin: play this tripe 24/7 until listeners pledge the station goal...gawd, my ears are bleeding
	11:22am Bill W: It sounds like it was miked from Ethel's scene in AIRPLANE! The Lt. Hurwitz era.
	♥ 11:22am Gaylord Fields: @David (in London): I do regret that my moving to a later hour on Sundays lost me a lot of my UK/European listeners. I hope you enjoy the look back at the 1972 US hit parade.
	11:22am davefromtoronto: the only thing making this bearable are the comments.
	11:22am Leonardo: This is cool. I know its not really cool. But its cool.
	♥ 11:22am coelacanth∅: i worked for someone who fixated on music for weeks or months, playing the same thing over and over all day every day. Ethel Merman made the rounds and i almost quit.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am WoodsOfNH: I have the "Ethel points to the ground, Ethel points to the sky" move in my head now....and I want it out!
	11:23am Bill W: Oh c'mon. Like this is worse than Jandek.
	♥ 11:23am David (in London): My dad always hated Ethel Merman. How I wish I could time-transport a copy of this back to my 18 year old self. It would truly be the ultimate weapon! "Turn that DOWN!"
	11:23am DJ Guin: Up next: The Star Wars Holiday Special...featuring Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman!!
	♥ 11:24am adampsyche: lolll
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up re-dos.
	11:24am zivilars: quite unexpected
	11:25am zivilars: love it
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am listener 126464: hope Loverboy didn't re-record any of their hits
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: Station Manager Ken apparently has this theory that Ethel Merman's singing style was very influential on Axl Rose from Guns 'N' Roses and other heavy metal stylists.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am p20: I grew up thinking Ethel Merman was just awful, but I was a dumb kid and didn't know better. When I got interested in old cartoons I saw her singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" for one of the Dave Fleischer Betty Boop cartoons - with the bouncing ball - I realized that she was really wonderful and delightful and a great entertainer. www.youtube.com...
	11:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL my dad hated - really hated with a passion - Bing Crosby.
	♥ 11:26am adampsyche: do the weird al version next
	11:27am Toothgrinder Tom: @Joe McG got any Bing Crosby in the record bin, Joe?
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: people sing in musicals to tell a story. they don't need to be good (or, as we see, even bearable) singers to tell the story. why anyone would listen to it out of context is beyond my comprehension.
	11:28am morphe': Simon is a 9 year old non-purist - he only likess the Weird Al version
	11:28am Dean: Buddy of mine went to college in Oklahoma, early '80s. Ethel made an appearance, and my buddy worked the show. The show was about to begin. He recalls a stage manager announcing outside her dressing room, "Five minutes, Ms. Merman." Her reply was, "Five minutes, my ass!"
	♥ 11:28am Creature Boy: I've never heard "girls" on vinyl broadcast through a filter through a cell phone & ear buds b4 .. Ok the remake any second..
	♥ 11:28am David (in London): Guns 'N' Mermans. Joe, a la AI DC earlier, I'm sure some AI expert can put together a version of her doing 'Sweet Child of Mine'.
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: (...there are shining exceptions of course)
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am p20: Anyone who ever had a heart could not watch that 1930 cartoon and not be charmed by Ethel Merman. (This Cyndi Lauper remake, on the other hand....)
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @Tom: I don't, but it's a good idea. He recorded "White Christmas" several times, didn't he? Among others. @Dean: Ha ha, great story! @David: Got to get Funky Turkey on that one.
	11:30am Bill W: Crosby, Merman et al were all great in their relative youth. Unfortunately younger boomers only remember their dotage. I mean, Bob Hope lived 50 years after he was the funniest comic in showbiz.
	11:30am Brendan: You should rename this segment Double Jeopardy.
	♥ 11:30am David (in London): T.Tom - Well, it's horses for courses as they say. How are you pal?
	11:31am Toothgrinder Tom: @Joe McG I don’t really know about the recording history of ‘White Christmas’ but as far as I know he successfully avoided putting out a disco album.
	♥ 11:32am coelacanth∅: haha Brendan ...but both cool jerks are good. (the first one much better)
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am The Oscar: Really hope James rerecorded this one in the style of Ethel Merman.
	11:32am Vincent Nifigance: Girls just wanna have funk.
	11:32am ?: it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
	11:32am Dennis Diken: Joe, very cool concept, this!
	11:32am Bill W: Ethel Merman reportedly called up the box office of Harvey Fierstein's TORCH SONG TRILOGY and barked "I need tickets to that Trigonometry thing!"
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am karlward: Oh man, this segment needs James Chance. He redid a bunch of his early stuff and the second versions were frequently pretty great.
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth∅: haha Oscar Yes!
	11:33am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL doing quite well, thanks. And you?
	♥ 11:33am TDK60: There should be a James Brown bridge, of course! (Augusta?)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Hey Dennis! Glad you dig.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Hughie Considine: As Lola Lasagne, Ethel Merman was one of the less memorable villains on the Batman series.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am p20: TDK60: You mean the "James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge"? (It's in Colorado)
	11:34am john the g: bing crosby's stuff in the 1920's and early 1930's is awesome. i have a bing crosby tattoo because of this awesomeness
	11:35am Toothgrinder Tom: @Vincent they all have it, you just need to know where to look.
	11:35am Dean: Am I making stuff up or did Gang of Four entirely rerecord, not just remaster, their first album?
	11:35am Toothgrinder Tom: @TD60 there should also be a James Brown bridge course.
	♥ 11:35am David (in London): T.Tom - All good here thanks man.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Dean: They did, but I'm kind of avoiding the people who did it for rights reasons. Squeeze, among others, did that, too.
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: Bob Marley of course re-did most of his early catalogue with all versions being at least acceptable if not excellent. that'd be a 5-hour program.
	♥ 11:36am Gaylord Fields: @karlward: If I may speak for Joe, part of the concept is that the artist is specifically remaking a hit record/song they made famous, i.e., revisiting a past glory.
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am p20: I'm getting dangerously close to my comment quota, and it's time for me to make breakfast, so I'm signing off for now. Bye radio friends!
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: "Bing Crosby tattoo/It's just about on me//I got it for you// So now do you want me..."
	♥ 11:37am David (in London): Todd Rungren has re-recorded 'I Saw the Light' a number of times if memory serves.
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: Gaylord sums it up exactly. I especially enjoy when they put a year on it, as if it makes the song more contemporary by adding a year to the title.
	11:37am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL glad to hear it. Are the rooster jokes still au courante?
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: Link Wray had a bunch of Rawhides...
	11:38am Dean: I did not know that. They didn't own the rights to the original, so they redid it to acquire rights to the new one?
	11:38am john the g: the sugarcubes first released 'birthday' sung in icelandic. when it turned out to be a potential monster hit, indie-wise at least, they re-recorded in english
	11:38am Brendan: @coel, yea.. and If some James Brown is good, more is better. I think it was just Ethel and Cyndi that doubled me over, so to speak.
	11:39am johnnyrokken: I can't stand it '76 from Big Payback 71-75. Definitely ahead of its' time.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Threemoons: BOWIE
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: if all versions for any reasons where acceptable it could be a weekly 3-hour show for a year or more
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @john the g: Interesting idea for another show! Songs that were originally in one language and then were recorded in English by the same artist. I like!
	♥ 11:40am David (in London): T.Tom - The rooster is working well at the moment, so no comedy necessary. Gets through a lot of feed though... Bowie should have asked Bing to help him re-record a disco version of this when they sang Little Drummer Boy together.
	11:42am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL I was thinking the same re Bowie and Bing - but I think he keeled over on a golf course in Spain a week after filming that Christmas special.
	11:42am Dean: Bowie rerecorded the vocals (at least) to "Space Oddity" using Italian lyrics that had nothing to do with Major Tom, "Ragazzo solo, ragazza sola."
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Marley P. Dogg: Great show today Joe! Be well!
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Bowie did this a lot. The most recent one to emerge was "Stay '97."
	♥ 11:44am David (in London): T.Tom - We might legitimately ask why the Hell he was playing golf and not doing lines of Charlie with Bowie and making great disco hits. Eh Bing? Eh?
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth∅: oh, David. really. you shouldn't have.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if the folks in Bach and Beethoven's time re-recorded their big hits. Bethany may know about that, I guess.
	11:45am Toothgrinder Tom: I’ve never listened to Bowie’s ‘Pin Ups.’ Is it worth it, good people?
	♥ 11:45am Spankyflop: Is Strutter '78 on the list?
	11:45am Joe B: could probably do a whole set of john i'm only dancing versions
	11:46am Dean: Bach and Handel were notorious re-purposers.
	11:46am paul: Bowie's Pin Ups is a classic.
	11:47am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL perhaps a seance is in order to find out.
	♥ 11:47am coelacanth∅: i like pin-ups, though i think his versions don't hold up to the originals. still worth hearing.
	11:48am Toothgrinder Tom: Thank you, @paul and @coelocanth
	11:48am paul: yw
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am pantz: Did UB40 do the music to this remake? Sounds a lot like The Earth Dies Screaming
	♥ 11:51am coelacanth∅: or Augustus Pablo with Lee Perry?
	11:52am Dean: Beatles' "Revolution" kinda turns this concept on its head.
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am 12539: Thanks for the show, Joe! Thanks for being there, Joe! Thanks for being Joe, Joe!
	♥ 11:52am coelacanth∅: doesn't qualify Dean
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am officina: Yet another great show !
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: Joe, good work yet again.
	11:54am Melissa Jean: <3 MARIANNE <3
	♥ 11:55am TDK60: Thanks Joe.
	11:55am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL by 1976 Bowie had returned to Europe and given up cocaine, no?
	♥ 11:55am David (in London): Thanks Joe, another life-enhancing YipFest. Bring on Joe^2.
	♥ 11:55am WR: Thank you. The Serge Gainsbourg made my connecting worthwhile.
	11:55am morphe': thanks Joe and all .. Simon out on his bike!!! before 7pm Madrid Kid kurfew
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: I like the Marianne ones just for the amazing contrast. Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! I hope you have a good week. See you next time.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am listener 126464: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:55am Yes: dig this 87 version very much
	11:56am Melissa Jean: thanks so much! xo
	♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅: Serge wins!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Mike Sin: Great show today, Joe McG -- We enjoyed the concept.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: @Yes: I also brought the 2018 version (a three-fer) but I'm just about out of time...
	11:57am paul: She became Nico.
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the morning fun, Joe. Cheers to Marianne Faithfull for her continued virus recovery.
	♥ 11:57am David (in London): T.Tom - Don't let the facts stand in th de way of a good gag! Yeah, he made the sound health-based decision to move to straight-living, drug-free West Berlin...
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, Joe, WFMU crew, listeners, chatters, lurkers—the whole pantheon! Great to be here now with you all.
	♥ 11:58am Kat in Chicago: @Joe agreed, the Marianne remake feels like the most necessary one to me.
	♥ 11:58am Yes: @joe, i'll have to look it up. thanks for today
	♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe! i like the study, even when i don't like all the music take care
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Perfect timing! Hi! Bye! Thanks!
	12:00pm ?: Thanks Joe
	♥ 12:22pm Michael Shelley: Awww man - was in the supermarket for most of this show!
	♥ 8:25am annie: this was a great show joe! catching it tuesday morning

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01am 12539: RayyyyyyyyyydeeO!
	♥ 9:01am David (in London): Hello Yippers. Howdy Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02am p20: Hi David, Joe, everyone! Happy Monday!
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am WoodsOfNH: I need some boing in my life.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am Marley P. Dogg: Happy yip day everyone! Hope everyone is well
	🎸 ♥ 9:03am Strandlund: Boing Boing Boing Boing...It's the great Joe McGasko!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04am Handy Haversack: Morning to you, Joe, and to all the Yipsters.
	9:04am Davee: Happy, happy, happy
	9:05am Davee: Hello Joe, how are you holding up?
	🎸 ♥ 9:05am LastWhiteRhino: Joe.....Hello.
	♥ 9:06am Crudbringer: I don't have to be crazy to be here, in fact mental health is no joking matter. Morning all.
	♥ 9:06am David (in London): Hey p20. How are you sir? I thought of you on Saturday as I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off for nostalgia value (Because it was set in Chicago, not because you're a ringer for Matthew Broderick I should add). Hey Handy. Greenings to Greetpoint.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am melinda: Hi friends
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am LastWhiteRhino: Where would this world be without Violins ?
	♥ 9:08am Crudbringer: We'd really be plucked!
	♥ 9:09am David (in London): Crudbringer, executive burn-out is getting to you. Throttle back my man. Hey melinda.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Handy Haversack: David, how goes? We are waiting for John Q. Law to come around and tell us we have to move our car for the first time in two months. A rollicking start to the week. How's (action hero and celebrated wit) Stone Newkington?
	9:09am David Freeman: Love Neel Murgai - Love the World Raga Jams
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Had this odd idea whilst weeding the garden that you might play a protest song set. I aint a weeding any more.
	♥ 9:09am Joe McG: Welcome to the show, radio friends, thanks for stopping by to say hello. Parental warning: There will be violins, there may be some sax.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Brian in UK: David are you recumbent in the garden?
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am p20: Hi D(iL): Ferris Bueller is a great Chicago movie, as is Blues Brothers. I'm a total cinema snob, I usually watch art films, but the appeal of those two, especially for Chicagoans, is undeniable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: Violins on the median -- I'm all for them!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am Krys O.: Greetings!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am p20: What's the best London movie?
	♥ 9:13am David (in London): Brian, where have all your flowers gone? Long time passing. Still at the kitchen table at present, but will be heading into the garden (Maud) soon. Handy - Oh, bummer, sorry to hear that. Just what you need. Stone is quiet, but sunny and sends its regards. p20 - I'm a film snob myself (mostly), but I count John Hughes as a high quality auteur, so am happy to watch any of his. FBDO has so much going on in it. Man, I was howling with laughter too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am LastWhiteRhino: Sax, and Dirges, and Rock and Roll ?
	🎸 ♥ 9:14am Brian in UK: A piece of fluff called Spring in Park Lane. It was directed by my Nan's brother.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14am p20: The Neel Murgai track was fantastic, thanks Joe for playing that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH: Speaking of film, we watched Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice over the weekend. Boy, what a time capsule that thing is!
	9:15am judy from croton: As my son said, at age 12, when we whispering about renting a video, “I love sex”! He now has 3 kids
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Can there be any doubt? American Werewolf in London!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Brian in UK: p20, please avoid www.imdb.com...
	♥ 9:16am David (in London): p20 - Jesus, best London movie? That's a tough one. Given your tastes, one you might not know but might like a lot is 'Duffer', which is the proto-Eraserhead.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Threemoons: Good morning Joe, fellow Yip Yips. LOVE this track.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: @p20: You bet! @judy: Wow, he really did!
	♥ 9:19am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am p20: D(iL): Good suggestion, you are correct that I've never heard of that film, will check it out soon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am melinda: @Woods it really is a great time capsule.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22am p20: Looking for Neel Murgai on Discogs, he only has 2 albums, which is a bit hard to believe. But I see that his Brooklyn Raga Massive did a collaboration with Adam Rudolph's Go:Organic Orchestra, that must be fantastic (because everything I've heard from Adam Rudolph is top-quality)
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am WoodsOfNH: @melinda No doubt. Really enjoyed it though. Kind of nice to watch something with no cgi or crazed jump-cuts.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: While the field is crowded, obviously, I'd put up Ghostbusters as one of the great NYC movies. Since we're on a FBDO, Blues Bros. level. I was pretty disappointed when I met Bill Murray and served up the softball, "You know where this ladder goes," he wasn't ready with "It goes up."
	♥ 9:24am David (in London): p20 - It's a dark and unsettling watch, but it's a real cinematic outlier. Uncredited and amazing electronic score by Delia Derbyshire to boot. Yo, Phillippe. What's happening at Chateau Bastille today?
	♥ 9:24am Phillippe Bastille: Keen Eddie was an American tv show set in London that I thought was pretty good at making me feel like I was there. It had a very young Sienna Miller before she briefly became a somebody before becoming a nobody again, and really nice turns from Mark Valley and Colin Salmon. In typical Fox network fashion, it was cancelled before finding its audience.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25am LastWhiteRhino: YIN YIN reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch as a kid, Tin Tin and his dog Snowy.
	♥ 9:25am Phillippe Bastille: Hey DiL, just hanging out at the computer in the shed. You?
	9:26am jean genie: yessssss brand new khru!!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am Hughie Considine: Morning all. Obsessed with Khruangbin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am Marley P. Dogg: Yes! Love me some Khruangbin! Thanks joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am p20: D(iL): That's some real syncronicity. My wife and I were just talking about Delia Derbyshire last night! (We were sorting LPs together, she picked up a copy of "The Dreams" and asked me about it).
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am Threemoons: You see, I LOVE WFMU because I discover so much amazing new and new to me music on it. I never heard of Kruangbin until a few seconds ago and now I know I will have this song as an earbug for the rest of the day!! :)
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Phillippe, likewise really. Just about to knock off for a bit and snack. p20 - Then this conversation was meant to be! Tip o' the cap to Mr Jung.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29am Brian in UK: S'funny, Bill Fay is on Dead Oceans.
	♥ 9:29am adampsyche: exactly what Threemoons said
	♥ 9:30am TDK60: Hoppity hop, I'm late, I'm late for a very important radio date.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: Don't worry, TDK60 -- we kept it warm for you. Hey, Phillippe!
	♥ 9:31am David (in London): It's TDK Rabbit. Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am WoodsOfNH: More coffee? Second breakfast? More coffee AND second breakfast? Decisions...
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Brian in UK: Joe, the Man with the Four Way Hips is my favourite Tom Tom song title.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am melinda: Before looking at the playlist I was thinking to myself 'I love this, reminds me of Tom Tom Club'
	♥ 9:35am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning, Handy! Hey, we saw our first Common Goldeneye yesterday! From what I read, they have become fairly rare in the Chesapeake, their numbers dropping significantly from the 80s
	♥ 9:36am Joe McG: Am I the only one that thinks Tina Weymouth should have done more of the singing in Talking Heads?
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am steveo: good morning! great picks, Joe; I'm having a wonderful time listening
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am steveo: I reckon you are not the only one :)
	♥ 9:38am Joe McG: Hey steveo, glad you are enjoying the show. A bit peppier to start than usual!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Nice, Phillippe! I love goldeneyes. Hoping to maybe get on the water this week, at least briefly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am Brian in UK: Joe, kind of agree but it was confidence in her singing that she needed. IMO. Oh and Byrne's approval.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am p20: not ready for this level of pep - need more coffee!
	♥ 9:40am n8th3gr8: thank you so much for playing The Ann Steel Album track!! I have vague memories but have been trying forever to remember the name of the artist/album.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Agreed. They could have done a John Doe/Exene sort of thing. Would have been cool.
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @n8: Happy to oblige!
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am steveo: speaking of Tony Coulter, that'd be cool to get him on the air here while remote fill-ins are permissible...
	♥ 9:43am TDK60: An idea I had, WFMU DJs interviewing other WFMU DJs on their shows, playing some of their choices, highlighting their shows, even across other streams.
	♥ 9:43am Baja Joe: Hello Joe
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Threemoons: Week starting off with a bang. To make a long story short, I had a good problem--way too many Meyer lemons for reasons too convoluted to get into. So as of last night, I now have Too Much Meyer Lemon Marmalade, a jar of Meyer Lemons Preserved in Salt in the fridge, and Tunisian Style Meyer Lemons in Olive Oil. I am especially proud of the marmelade; have not made it in years. May have some in some tea....I need caffeine....
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Threemoons: Getting most marmalades to set up can be a pain. I didn't bother to do the whole thing with de-seeding and putting the seeds in a little bag for pectin; these were organic so I just washed em and sliced the whole lemon up, seeds and all, by hand, with a Chinese veg cleaver sharp enough to split atoms.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am ratso: Good morning, joe, and crew.
	9:47am morphe': Tony Coulter - as an old man once said (and me too not long ago regadring another ex-dj) Tony Coulter - now that's a name i have not heard for a very long time...
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Handy Haversack: Sounds pretty great, Threemoons!
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am 12539: This can't be today!
	♥ 9:50am Chris S: Neel Murgai is great. He played with Loren Connors in Haunted House.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am p20: Wait what?, you can make marmalade at home? This is some news I can use! (I was really shocked to learn that you can make coffee at home. This lockdown is turning out to be quite educational).
	♥ 9:51am TDK60: Tony Coulter is still holding forth on WFMU, the Drummer Stream. Tuesdays noon-3.
	9:51am judy from croton: @Threemoons: too much Meyer lemon marmalade? It does not compute
	9:52am morphe': Tony Coulter - just discovered he is still active on Give the Drummmer Some - continuously since 2002!!!!!
	9:52am Brendan: Stop you had me at funky turkey
	9:52am judy from croton: Hahaha p20; yes, coffee at home
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am melinda: @Woods I like B&C&T&A too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am 12539: AC3P0!
	9:53am morphe': TDK - thanks ... I think you told me that long ago but I never looked until today.. Does Tony still do WKCR? I can check that....
	♥ 9:54am Chris S: You won the tickets... you just have to spell AI DC
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am Handy Haversack: Now we just need to tell the bot about human anatomy.
	9:54am Miles: so the algorithm came up w the lyrics solely?
	♥ 9:54am Switchblade Batman: TBF, if no one told me the story behind this song I would totally think it's an AC DC song
	9:54am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe McG I’m dyyying from this!!! Too many women with the balls!
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am steveo: this wow
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am listener Rey: I'm up to my eyeballs in work lately but I had to take break to come here and say Great Balls is Fire!!
	9:55am Rachel Bo Bachel: Handy lol
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am lukavino: this has me Muttley wheezing.
	9:55am Itzall Hear: Ai/DC RULES! Will they tour virtually with ai Bowie?!?
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am Matt Fiveash: Wow!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am ratso: I think it's better than anything that was on the 3 most recent ACDC records.
	9:55am Erin in TO: This is the best ACDC song I've ever heard
	9:55am Terr in DE: naw, guitar s too laid back
	9:55am Zetti: cool
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: This is hilarious
	9:55am ?: am i dreaming?!?
	♥ 9:56am happymaan: What that AI DC song was something else, thanks Joe!
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: Further info: www.nme.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am LastWhiteRhino: Are these real chicks or AI chicks?
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am Brian in UK: These were the days when birds were also called chicks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am LastWhiteRhino: Yay, Juniper, June 1st is near.
	10:00am Brendan: The computer accelerated the The infinite monkey theorem . It’s not Shakespeare, but then I wonder if Hamlet generated as much buzz at its opening as AI/DC.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Brian in UK: This sounds a bit like a Stephin Merritt song, that he has not written yet.
	♥ 10:00am PigeonsAndRust: I put down my tools for a minute to come in and say that ACDC track was epic. And that I wish Andy Breckman would do an acoustic cover of it. Back to work now. Keep up the greatness Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: For those about to Yip Yip!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Thanks for stopping by, P&R!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Threemoons: P20--it's really easy to make marmalade. You just want to be sure that you are using organic fruit that hasn't been sprayed with crap because you're eating the whole thing, skin and all. All you need is lots of sugar, lots of citrus, a pot, and time. You don't even need a candy thermometer.
	♥ 10:03am Rev. Turnip Druid: violently in favor of marmalade.
	♥ 10:04am TDK60: Morphe, Didn't know Coulter had been on WKCR.
	10:05am Sam: Wow! Incredible track!
	♥ 10:05am Chop Scott: Good Morning Joe!
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Chop Scott! Early riser! ;)
	10:06am Itzall Hear: OK. I'm going to go ahead and say it- Andrew Gold IS really Joe McG. Clever façade, but it's SO obvious if you listen.
	♥ 10:07am David (in London): Yo Rev, I've had some carrot cake waiting for you. Hey morphe.
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Itzall: Ha ha ha! We both have a great beard.
	10:07am Itzall Hear: Of course, ALL folk singers have to.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am p20: 3Moons: I'm going to get some organic fruit and try it!
	10:08am davefromtoronto: homeboy can still write good tunes.
	10:13am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	10:13am Jeffrey Davison: Joe, killing it as usual. I missed the Tirez Tirez. That takes me back!
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Hey JD! Hey Alex! Thanks for tuning in today and saying hello, everyone.
	10:16am Melissa Jean: mornin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Thanks for the AC/DC thing. For as much as I soured on technology (as I sitting here typing into a chat room...hypocrite!!), THAT was freaking hilarious.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Woods: Glad you enjoyed! I figured if it made me laugh it would make other people laugh. Hi, Melissa Jean! Hi, Trista! ;)
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am pantz: Sounds a lot like Aimee Mann. I love it!
	10:20am Melissa Jean: Pantz I was thinkin that too!

	🎸 ♥ 10:21am Threemoons: p20 good luck! ENJOY!
	10:21am tim from Champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and folks!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Threemoons: @Rev Turnip Druid--it's good to have strong feelings about marmalade! Put a spoonfull into my mug of black tea; good stuff! Very old-school Eastern European also!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Handy Haversack: Morning, Greg!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Threemoons: passes around enormous jar of Meyer Lemon Marmalade, tasting spoons
	10:23am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe your chill vibe always manages to calm my otherwise very rambunctious 4 year old. She is currently lounging on a throw pillow staring at a ribbon that she is slowly twirling around. Ahh, I can finally drink my coffee!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am Ken From Hyde Park: @RBB - Have you drawn up plans for her pillow fort yet? That may keep her occupied.
	♥ 10:24am Glorious Estephonic: i love that rose ribbon visual Rachel Bo Bachel ! my guy is finally chilling too
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Rachel: I'm happy to hear that I have the ability to lull children into a stupor. Maybe I can turn this into some kind of mail-order business. :)
	♥ 10:26am TDK60: The only rock band with a bridge named after them, I think.
	10:26am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ken good idea! A special pillow fort. Hi Estephonic! Luv u grrrl!
	♥ 10:28am Joe McG: Oboe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am p20: @TDK60: My research team informs me that there is a Black Sabbath bridge in Birmingham
	10:35am wild neil peace all: hey all! looking for work again....house husbanding and doing maintenance and building a tree house. Hey RTD IN DC!
	10:37am Davee: This is funny
	10:37am Miles: well not exactly a cover cuz BobD hadn't released a version
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Miles: Good point!
	10:39am Miles: I was correcting myself & a comment that didn't post re dylan
	10:41am Doctor B: That's Bread? Sounds kind of garagey!

	♥ 10:44am TDK60: P20, didn't know, thanks. What a team you have.
	10:44am Kat in Chicago in the app: Flip side of “Somebody’s Watching You,” right? I had this when I was a kid.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am pantz: I grew up on Andy Griffith reruns. Almost like he was a second father. I saw Face In The Crowd as an adult and it was painful to see him playing a huckster Trump character. He's versatile.
	♥ 10:45am Creature Boy: I like this instrumentation along w that vinyl sound
	♥ 10:46am TDK60: Bo!
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @Kat: Correct!
	♥ 10:46am Creature Boy: I can Tell is a go-to 45! always kills
	♥ 10:48am RobinSays: Very groovy Little Sister track. Bo Diddley! I saw him performe in Central Park many moons ago. The next day I saw him walking near Washington Square Park. I yelled out "Hey! Bo Diddley," alal the cal and response he did from t he Central Park stage. He smiled and nodded.
	♥ 10:49am Creature Boy: What year was the Central pk show?
	♥ 10:50am RobinSays: Oooh, way back, 1989 I think.
	♥ 10:52am TDK60: I got to play /with/ Bo in '85!

	♥ 10:54am Creature Boy: Yes very cool tdk
	♥ 10:54am TDK60: It was tops fun, Handy. I have a recording and photo.
	10:55am V Priceless: Hucklebuck! Woo! Joe!
	10:56am melissa: Many years ago there was a DJ premium that was a cassette of every version of the Hucklebuck ever recored. Time for a reissue?
	♥ 10:57am TDK60: Where's Gaylord F.? He's a '72 guy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Handy Haversack: Radiators were a class act all the way!

	♥ 11:08am Gaylord Fields: @Rev. Turnip Druid: Lucky for me that loving 1972 doesn't preclude my also enjoying the music of 1971. As long as we both agree that 1973 was a garbage year!
	♥ 11:08am coelacanth∅: (...and human sexual response did an excellent version of cool jerk on their first album)

	♥ 11:12am TDK60: Hi Gaylord. Yeah, Rev T.D. '71 was swell too.
	♥ 11:14am Gaylord Fields: @David (in London): I'm obviously kidding, and you wouldn't necessarily know this, but people are referring specifically to the two radio shows I did with Bronwyn Bishop on the pop hits of 1972: www.wfmu.org... www.wfmu.org...

	♥ 11:17am coelacanth∅: ? ...didn't Ethel Merman warp it for you first?!
	♥ 11:17am David (in London): Gaylord - I was only kidding, too. It just gave me an in to mention Raw Power, which is something I'm wont to do. Thanks for the links, too! Sadly I rarely get to hear your show in real time due to the time difference. sad face
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am The Oscar: (I also know what's coming next, and I'm excited :)
	11:17am Bill W: Wondering if disco version is next...

	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, coela! Joe, Kate and I will be listening to the rest of the show -- but we have to do it out in the car while we wait for the parking cops to do their pass for the ticket-revenue day -- er, the return of street cleaning rules. Great show! I'll rejoin all of you some time in 3CM ...

	🎸 ♥ 11:21am karlward: Oh the breakdown
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am JtotheK: Looks like this Ethel Merman disco album is going to SKYROCKET to the top of my 'must find' list. Hi Joe, enjoying the show! Hi everyone.
	♥ 11:21am RobinSays: Disco versions of anything make me recall being a kid in NYC during the late '70s. I really wanted to go to Studio 54 when I was in fifth grade.

	11:22am DJ Guin: play this tripe 24/7 until listeners pledge the station goal...gawd, my ears are bleeding
	11:22am Bill W: It sounds like it was miked from Ethel's scene in AIRPLANE! The Lt. Hurwitz era.
	♥ 11:22am Gaylord Fields: @David (in London): I do regret that my moving to a later hour on Sundays lost me a lot of my UK/European listeners. I hope you enjoy the look back at the 1972 US hit parade.
	11:22am davefromtoronto: the only thing making this bearable are the comments.
	11:22am Leonardo: This is cool. I know its not really cool. But its cool.
	♥ 11:22am coelacanth∅: i worked for someone who fixated on music for weeks or months, playing the same thing over and over all day every day. Ethel Merman made the rounds and i almost quit.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am WoodsOfNH: I have the "Ethel points to the ground, Ethel points to the sky" move in my head now....and I want it out!
	11:23am Bill W: Oh c'mon. Like this is worse than Jandek.
	♥ 11:23am David (in London): My dad always hated Ethel Merman. How I wish I could time-transport a copy of this back to my 18 year old self. It would truly be the ultimate weapon! "Turn that DOWN!"
	11:23am DJ Guin: Up next: The Star Wars Holiday Special...featuring Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman!!

	🎸 ♥ 11:25am listener 126464: hope Loverboy didn't re-record any of their hits
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: Station Manager Ken apparently has this theory that Ethel Merman's singing style was very influential on Axl Rose from Guns 'N' Roses and other heavy metal stylists.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am p20: I grew up thinking Ethel Merman was just awful, but I was a dumb kid and didn't know better. When I got interested in old cartoons I saw her singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" for one of the Dave Fleischer Betty Boop cartoons - with the bouncing ball - I realized that she was really wonderful and delightful and a great entertainer. www.youtube.com...
	11:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL my dad hated - really hated with a passion - Bing Crosby.
	♥ 11:26am adampsyche: do the weird al version next
	11:27am Toothgrinder Tom: @Joe McG got any Bing Crosby in the record bin, Joe?
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: people sing in musicals to tell a story. they don't need to be good (or, as we see, even bearable) singers to tell the story. why anyone would listen to it out of context is beyond my comprehension.
	11:28am morphe': Simon is a 9 year old non-purist - he only likess the Weird Al version
	11:28am Dean: Buddy of mine went to college in Oklahoma, early '80s. Ethel made an appearance, and my buddy worked the show. The show was about to begin. He recalls a stage manager announcing outside her dressing room, "Five minutes, Ms. Merman." Her reply was, "Five minutes, my ass!"
	♥ 11:28am Creature Boy: I've never heard "girls" on vinyl broadcast through a filter through a cell phone & ear buds b4 .. Ok the remake any second..
	♥ 11:28am David (in London): Guns 'N' Mermans. Joe, a la AI DC earlier, I'm sure some AI expert can put together a version of her doing 'Sweet Child of Mine'.
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: (...there are shining exceptions of course)
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am p20: Anyone who ever had a heart could not watch that 1930 cartoon and not be charmed by Ethel Merman. (This Cyndi Lauper remake, on the other hand....)
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @Tom: I don't, but it's a good idea. He recorded "White Christmas" several times, didn't he? Among others. @Dean: Ha ha, great story! @David: Got to get Funky Turkey on that one.
	11:30am Bill W: Crosby, Merman et al were all great in their relative youth. Unfortunately younger boomers only remember their dotage. I mean, Bob Hope lived 50 years after he was the funniest comic in showbiz.
	11:30am Brendan: You should rename this segment Double Jeopardy.
	♥ 11:30am David (in London): T.Tom - Well, it's horses for courses as they say. How are you pal?
	11:31am Toothgrinder Tom: @Joe McG I don’t really know about the recording history of ‘White Christmas’ but as far as I know he successfully avoided putting out a disco album.
	♥ 11:32am coelacanth∅: haha Brendan ...but both cool jerks are good. (the first one much better)
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am The Oscar: Really hope James rerecorded this one in the style of Ethel Merman.
	11:32am Vincent Nifigance: Girls just wanna have funk.
	11:32am ?: it's so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
	11:32am Dennis Diken: Joe, very cool concept, this!
	11:32am Bill W: Ethel Merman reportedly called up the box office of Harvey Fierstein's TORCH SONG TRILOGY and barked "I need tickets to that Trigonometry thing!"
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am karlward: Oh man, this segment needs James Chance. He redid a bunch of his early stuff and the second versions were frequently pretty great.
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth∅: haha Oscar Yes!
	11:33am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL doing quite well, thanks. And you?
	♥ 11:33am TDK60: There should be a James Brown bridge, of course! (Augusta?)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Hey Dennis! Glad you dig.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Hughie Considine: As Lola Lasagne, Ethel Merman was one of the less memorable villains on the Batman series.
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am p20: TDK60: You mean the "James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge"? (It's in Colorado)
	11:34am john the g: bing crosby's stuff in the 1920's and early 1930's is awesome. i have a bing crosby tattoo because of this awesomeness
	11:35am Toothgrinder Tom: @Vincent they all have it, you just need to know where to look.
	11:35am Dean: Am I making stuff up or did Gang of Four entirely rerecord, not just remaster, their first album?
	11:35am Toothgrinder Tom: @TD60 there should also be a James Brown bridge course.
	♥ 11:35am David (in London): T.Tom - All good here thanks man.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @Dean: They did, but I'm kind of avoiding the people who did it for rights reasons. Squeeze, among others, did that, too.
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: Bob Marley of course re-did most of his early catalogue with all versions being at least acceptable if not excellent. that'd be a 5-hour program.
	♥ 11:36am Gaylord Fields: @karlward: If I may speak for Joe, part of the concept is that the artist is specifically remaking a hit record/song they made famous, i.e., revisiting a past glory.
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am p20: I'm getting dangerously close to my comment quota, and it's time for me to make breakfast, so I'm signing off for now. Bye radio friends!
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Hughie Considine: "Bing Crosby tattoo/It's just about on me//I got it for you// So now do you want me..."
	♥ 11:37am David (in London): Todd Rungren has re-recorded 'I Saw the Light' a number of times if memory serves.
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: Gaylord sums it up exactly. I especially enjoy when they put a year on it, as if it makes the song more contemporary by adding a year to the title.
	11:37am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL glad to hear it. Are the rooster jokes still au courante?
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Hughie Considine: Link Wray had a bunch of Rawhides...
	11:38am Dean: I did not know that. They didn't own the rights to the original, so they redid it to acquire rights to the new one?
	11:38am john the g: the sugarcubes first released 'birthday' sung in icelandic. when it turned out to be a potential monster hit, indie-wise at least, they re-recorded in english
	11:38am Brendan: @coel, yea.. and If some James Brown is good, more is better. I think it was just Ethel and Cyndi that doubled me over, so to speak.
	11:39am johnnyrokken: I can't stand it '76 from Big Payback 71-75. Definitely ahead of its' time.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Threemoons: BOWIE
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: if all versions for any reasons where acceptable it could be a weekly 3-hour show for a year or more
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @john the g: Interesting idea for another show! Songs that were originally in one language and then were recorded in English by the same artist. I like!
	♥ 11:40am David (in London): T.Tom - The rooster is working well at the moment, so no comedy necessary. Gets through a lot of feed though... Bowie should have asked Bing to help him re-record a disco version of this when they sang Little Drummer Boy together.
	11:42am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL I was thinking the same re Bowie and Bing - but I think he keeled over on a golf course in Spain a week after filming that Christmas special.
	11:42am Dean: Bowie rerecorded the vocals (at least) to "Space Oddity" using Italian lyrics that had nothing to do with Major Tom, "Ragazzo solo, ragazza sola."
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Marley P. Dogg: Great show today Joe! Be well!
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Bowie did this a lot. The most recent one to emerge was "Stay '97."
	♥ 11:44am David (in London): T.Tom - We might legitimately ask why the Hell he was playing golf and not doing lines of Charlie with Bowie and making great disco hits. Eh Bing? Eh?
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth∅: oh, David. really. you shouldn't have.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if the folks in Bach and Beethoven's time re-recorded their big hits. Bethany may know about that, I guess.
	11:45am Toothgrinder Tom: I’ve never listened to Bowie’s ‘Pin Ups.’ Is it worth it, good people?
	♥ 11:45am Spankyflop: Is Strutter '78 on the list?
	11:45am Joe B: could probably do a whole set of john i'm only dancing versions
	11:46am Dean: Bach and Handel were notorious re-purposers.
	11:46am paul: Bowie's Pin Ups is a classic.
	11:47am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL perhaps a seance is in order to find out.
	♥ 11:47am coelacanth∅: i like pin-ups, though i think his versions don't hold up to the originals. still worth hearing.
	11:48am Toothgrinder Tom: Thank you, @paul and @coelocanth
	11:48am paul: yw
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am pantz: Did UB40 do the music to this remake? Sounds a lot like The Earth Dies Screaming
	♥ 11:51am coelacanth∅: or Augustus Pablo with Lee Perry?
	11:52am Dean: Beatles' "Revolution" kinda turns this concept on its head.
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am 12539: Thanks for the show, Joe! Thanks for being there, Joe! Thanks for being Joe, Joe!
	♥ 11:52am coelacanth∅: doesn't qualify Dean
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am officina: Yet another great show !
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Brian in UK: Joe, good work yet again.
	11:54am Melissa Jean: <3 MARIANNE <3
	♥ 11:55am TDK60: Thanks Joe.
	11:55am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL by 1976 Bowie had returned to Europe and given up cocaine, no?
	♥ 11:55am David (in London): Thanks Joe, another life-enhancing YipFest. Bring on Joe^2.
	♥ 11:55am WR: Thank you. The Serge Gainsbourg made my connecting worthwhile.
	11:55am morphe': thanks Joe and all .. Simon out on his bike!!! before 7pm Madrid Kid kurfew
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: I like the Marianne ones just for the amazing contrast. Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! I hope you have a good week. See you next time.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am listener 126464: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:55am Yes: dig this 87 version very much

	♥ 11:56am coelacanth∅: Serge wins!
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Mike Sin: Great show today, Joe McG -- We enjoyed the concept.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: @Yes: I also brought the 2018 version (a three-fer) but I'm just about out of time...
	11:57am paul: She became Nico.
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the morning fun, Joe. Cheers to Marianne Faithfull for her continued virus recovery.
	♥ 11:57am David (in London): T.Tom - Don't let the facts stand in th de way of a good gag! Yeah, he made the sound health-based decision to move to straight-living, drug-free West Berlin...
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, Joe, WFMU crew, listeners, chatters, lurkers—the whole pantheon! Great to be here now with you all.
	♥ 11:58am Kat in Chicago: @Joe agreed, the Marianne remake feels like the most necessary one to me.
	♥ 11:58am Yes: @joe, i'll have to look it up. thanks for today
	♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe! i like the study, even when i don't like all the music take care
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Perfect timing! Hi! Bye! Thanks!
	12:00pm ?: Thanks Joe
	♥ 12:22pm Michael Shelley: Awww man - was in the supermarket for most of this show!
