	12:06pm dan: Anyone wanna bet why Mickey Mouse is in jail?
	🛒 12:06pm Brian in UK: Uncle. Nesmith song, I guess.
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: I'm wearing my cover chain mail. I'm READY!
	12:06pm Little Danny: But how is the very first song chosen?
	12:07pm ottovonbqe: maybe the first song is a cover of the last song.

	12:09pm mauri: Just bough half a litre a vodka. Pop a top... About so. Hey um i hear youre the greatest!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: mauri! I am.
	12:10pm StringOFperils: Prisoners broke rocks to make roads to bring in more prisoners to break more rocks etc
	12:10pm KWilde: Ready for a wild ride!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: KWilde! A wilde ride?
	12:11pm Stevel: Hold on. What, actually, are Clarabelle's striped prisoner pants covering?
	12:11pm dan: I'm picturing a Betty Broderick situation where Mickey catches Minnie and Donald Duck in bed together
	12:11pm StringOFperils: Cartoon cows and dogs broke rocks to make Disneyland.
	12:11pm Stevel: Also, what gives with Micky not being in prison gear. Is he a snitch?
	12:12pm Jeff Golick: Hi!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:12pm Stevel: UM! HDT: Making Fridays even better!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I keep trying!
	12:15pm dan: Content aside, I just love the old 1930s style of hand drawn animation. Shame it's all computers.
	12:16pm dan: The next song is going to be Bob Seger's version of Nutbush Blues.
	12:16pm Stevel: Must read Harlan Ellison re. his extremely short stint as a Disney writer: "Two things you must know. First, I do a terrific Mickey Mouse imitation. Absolutely phonographically perfect. If the publishers of this book had the money, they ought to bind in a record, one of those little plastic jobbies, so you could hear my spectacular Mickey imitation. When I tell this anecdote in person, it really enhances a lot. But just pretend you can hear it, okay? The second thing you need to know is that the Producers' Banquette had filled up with Roy Disney and the other heads of the studio, behind me; a fact of which I was unaware; a fact no one bothered to impart. At the top of my voice I suggested, "Hey, listen, what a kick! Why don't we do a porn Disney flick?" See Labor Relations: harlanellison.com...
	12:17pm dan: Followed by the McGarrigle Sisters version of You'll Accompany Me
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: recaclulating...recalculating...
	🛒 12:20pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi there
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Phillippe!
	12:21pm spodiodi: ay, Phillippe!
	12:23pm barrett785: UM 4 PREZ! Same old thang!
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Pat!
	12:24pm Dominick: Yo
	12:24pm Little Danny: I had no idea that Simone's was the first version.
	12:25pm Hubig Pie: Is there a theme or just a random assortment of great tunes?
	12:25pm the Stork lurks...: FRIDAY, GODDAM IT! Hi Unc, hi fam.
	12:26pm Roberto: When I heard this as a kid I thought it was "I'm just a sore-losin' tensions are good"
	12:26pm Cmurtha: I think the chain-cover theme is he plas a cover song, then he plays a cover song by the artist who was just covered.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Hubig! It's an unbroken chain of covers.
	12:26pm Fuzzy: Wow, Friday already! Howdy!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! Fuzzy!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: What Cmurtha said.
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: That's alot to get me brain wrapped around, Mr Cmurtha
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: Thanks for spelling it out. I slow and sleepy
	12:33pm Dean: Does this mean we'll never hear Weird Al during one of these cover chain shows? "Daydream Believer"
	12:35pm KWilde: Todd!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Dean! Yes. No.
	12:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: I've heard of blockchain recently, but not a chain block.
	12:37pm ottovonbqe: once you move forward in time, you need to find an artists with a long career to go back. if you go too current, you could get yourself into a jam.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	12:38pm Dean: Earth Quake does a great version of "Kicks," but I don't know that anybody has ever covered an Earth Quake tune.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: That's one of the challenges, otto, for sure.
	12:38pm Roberto: Whoa, this Kicks cover just got silly.
	12:38pm ottovonbqe: johny cash could probably saved you if you start getting too contemporary!
	12:39pm spodiodi: HinkyDinky Coin ftw, KenFHP
	12:39pm Dean: "I'm a Believer"
	12:39pm dan: Next song will be Beatles doing Twist And Shout
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: WFMU accepts Bitcoin, but not hdtcoin.
	🛒 12:40pm Brian in UK: No one ever covered the Beatles.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: I think I should find a way to get the Isley Brothers into every theme show.
	12:41pm Dean: Not true, Brian in UK. Residents did.
	12:42pm Dean: And as the Residents report, the Beatles reciprocated. You could do a whole show just playing that one single, first side, second side, first, second...
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: Junior Parker covered The Beatles in a most sublime fashion
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Don't give up, dan.
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: I like where this set is going.
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: (Without having any idea where it is, in fact, going.)
	12:47pm Dominick: oopsie
	🛒 12:48pm Brian in UK: Dean, thought they had a definite article.
	12:48pm Dean: Well, I guess Marx was write. We have nothing to lose but our chains.
	12:48pm spodiodi: shakes fist
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: oopsie...I waited to reconnect and restarted this track
	12:48pm Dean: Marx was "write"?! What in the fuck is my brain doing this hellish morning?
	12:49pm Dean: But what Marx wrote was right.
	12:49pm Roberto: We visited Marx's grave last year in London. My wife put a stone on it kind of just to troll him.
	12:49pm spodiodi: must have been Harpo. unfamiliar
	12:51pm Robert sharp: Hey man. Great show as always!!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Robert! Thanks!
	12:52pm Rich in Washington: Howdy, Uncle Michael! Been listening while cooking up and consuming some grub!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Welcome.
	12:53pm Doug Schulkind: Getting some persistent drop-outs, UM.
	12:54pm mauri: Whats happening?
	12:54pm spodiodi: the buck out back seems to like the Hinky Dinky Time cover chain today wfmu.org... ... he kept creeping closer aloha, Rich shakes fist at droupouts stay in school!
	12:54pm Fuzzy: Fidel keeps jamming your signal!
	12:54pm dan: @Fuzzy This is more up Putin's alley.
	12:54pm Dean: Whom did John Cage cover?
	12:55pm mauri: The greatest across streams beats matching
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: My garbage disposer.
	12:55pm Fuzzy: Fidel jamming the signal from BEYOND THE GRAVE!
	12:56pm dan: Next song is Ronnie Spector "Try Some"
	12:56pm dan: Dang it.
	12:58pm Robert sharp: I didn’t even know that this version of give me love existed. You always find the good stuff.
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: Whaaaaa??!? Teresa Brewer!
	12:59pm dan: The guitarist here aced Harrison's solo.
	12:59pm mauri: I dont think they ever loved that much.
	1:00pm Roberto: Oh she was on the Muppet Show once. That's where I remember her from.
	🛒 1:01pm dutchtheo: Hey Unk and the chain gang, Sam Cooke Peace in the valley
	🛒 1:02pm dutchtheo: on no it is not an Red Foley original
	1:02pm listener Rey: That was a helluva set UM!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:08pm dan: Phil Harris, a longtime Disney mainstay
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Rey!
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: I had a little Phil Harris guest spot on yesterday’s show
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: These shows are so intricately put together -- but also dislocating, as we never hear a version of a song as performed by the person we might most associate with it. If that makes sense.
	1:11pm Cmurtha: Bashful Rascals is a fun band name
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: What did you play, Larry? My mission, Jeff! Discombobulation!
	1:11pm Funky16Corners: Why didn’t Dr Demento ever play this version?
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: I played Louis Prima from the Jungle Book with scatting by old Phil
	1:13pm dan: Next will be Janis Joplin doing Me and Bobby McGee.
	1:14pm KWilde: Hmmm - can't think of any Kristofferson originals. You may have hit a wall UM
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone! Drive safely!
	1:15pm KWilde: I would bet on Roger Miller's version rather than Janis
	1:15pm the Stork lurks...: Didn't Kris K. write Me & Bobbie McGee? Not gonna google.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: I believe he did, Stork...
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: This live version was the actual hit single for Johnny.
	1:17pm the Stork lurks...: Yeah! Ring of Fire by some punk band up next?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Stork! I missed your entrance earlier!
	1:17pm Mr. Fine Wine: This concept makes my head hurt. Kudos to the programmer for navigating us through it.
	1:17pm still b/p: This is where it'd be fun to have a scene like when Marshall McLuhan shows up in Annie Hall -- have Uncle Michael pull Dr. Demento suddenly into the studio there in the video frame and he says, "You know nothing of my curating work!"
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! That's perfect. MFW!
	1:19pm Jeff Golick: @UM: do you have a definitive source (or sources) for determining the first release of a given song?
	1:19pm Funky16Corners: I think Demento would play the June Carter version. It’s just that the Dementoids and Dementites continually requested Phil Harris for the Funny Five
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: I do, Jeff. I trust it in good faith.
	1:21pm doctorjazz: The man in black can many anything feel like a polka.
	1:21pm dan: The Bob Dylan covers are endless, I'm going to take a wild guess and predict The Rascals' version of Like A Rolling Stone.
	🛒 1:22pm WR: What is definitive is that UM is threading the needle and making beautiful chain stitches.
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: This ("Train of Love") is a real pivot point. You could go ANYWHERE from here.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: WR! Thank your for the praise.
	1:23pm doctorjazz: Missed this Dylan album (not that I've kept up with his later output)
	1:23pm Funky16Corners: New Christy Minstrels doing Wigwam???
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I wonder if anyone would be able to guess which cover was the starting point for the undertaking, this time around. Not a Dylan album. A Cash tribute.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Maybe my favorite Dylan cover....on any given day.
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: Have you played the seed cut yet, @UM?
	1:24pm dan: Beatles Act Naturally or possibly Buck and Ringo's version.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: That would be telling, Jeff! It rules out half the show.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: This IS a great way to program covers!
	1:26pm the Stork lurks...: I'm supposed to be working on my show, but this concept has me on tenterhooks. btw: what the hell are tenterhooks? Not gonna google.
	1:26pm Jeff Golick: Fair enough. Just looking for an angle...
	1:28pm Funky16Corners: This is a wild arrangement
	1:28pm Cmurtha: OH THIS IS NOT EXPECTED
	1:28pm Jeff Golick: I'm not going to google, either, Stork, which is why I can say with immense authority that "tenterhooks" used to be used by washerwomen when they hung up large sheets or tablecloths to dry, to keep them on the line. If one fell off the line, it hurt if you accidentally stepped on it.
	1:29pm Cmurtha: Patsy Cline was a TALENT. Shame she Buddy Holly'd
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: The Patsy, Larry? I really like it.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: An artist coming up later found Patsy's wreckage. No lie. Big hint. No googling.
	1:30pm Lizardner Dave 2: Stork/Jeff: And here I thought the word originated from Depression era pimps who would only let their women sleep indoors if they brought in a certain amount of money, hence, "You can sleep in the tent or hooks".
	1:30pm Cmurtha: Really?? Damn that is some Trivia.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: @Dave 2: oh, wait. You are correct.
	1:31pm the Stork lurks...: @Jeff: can I take that to the bank, or are you using the Lucy Van Pelt method approach to academia (i.e.: make it up)?
	1:32pm Cmurtha: My Great Grandmother was always looked after well by the prostitutes in hell's kitchen, and I think as a result of that anytime anyone in my family washed up in the sink or had to do something in a sink it was always 'a whores bath', I think that was a common enough expression, but I think her connection to the working women is why it was such an consistent thing in my family. Never forget five year old me processing being told to go take a whores bath.
	1:32pm Mr. Fine Wine: Keep my ears outta this
	1:33pm Cmurtha: this came to me because of the tent thing
	1:34pm Jeff Golick: @Stork: definitely using the Rich Hall method (viz., Sniglets).
	🛒 1:34pm WR: I look up everything on Wikipedia, where i find Jeff is pretty close, it wasn't typical washer woman but during manufacturing of cloth, particularly wool, "The lengths of wet cloth were stretched on the tenter using tenterhooks (hooked nails whose long shank was driven into the wood) all around the perimeter of the frame to which the cloth's edges (selvedges) were fixed, so that as it dried the cloth would retain its shape and size. By the mid-18th century, the phrase on tenterhooks came to mean being in a state of tension, uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense, i.e., figuratively stretched like the cloth on the tenter."
	1:35pm Funky16Corners: @UM - I liked it too. The sorta Latinization was really cool
	🛒 1:36pm WR: And I had thought the phrase was tender hooks. Thank you, Stork, for giving me this opportunity to learn.
	1:36pm Jeff Golick: Geez that's weird, @WR. I was just making that up. The subconscious is a wild place.
	🛒 1:37pm Franco Twinkie: Cmurtha, This is one I heard: A P&P - pussy and pits.
	1:38pm spodiodi: PTA here, Franco pu* ti and a**
	1:39pm Cmurtha: that's such an odd fact. And now I know.
	1:39pm spodiodi: and before that, it was a PR shower, which is racist/nationalist and featured strong cologne/perfume
	1:39pm spodiodi: i was reluctant to mention either until Franco Twinkie stepped right up
	1:40pm bigplanetnoise: G’Afternoon, UM and Hinky crew!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: All I had to do was say "Nashville".
	🛒 1:41pm KevinfromBayRidge: Late to the Chain! Hello everybody!
	1:41pm bigplanetnoise: Boom.
	1:43pm Lizardner Dave 2: Tender hooks are what butchers use to cut the tenderloins out of beef primals.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Bake Turner; look him up.
	1:50pm Funky16Corners: Love this Otis. Flipside is an amazing version of You Don’t Miss Your Water
	1:50pm Jeff Golick: A "bake turner" is an early baseball term, for a batter who can be always counted on to end any good rally.
	1:51pm dan: Next will be Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson's version of "Going Back Home".
	1:52pm Roberto: Ach der stream ist ferkakte again.
	1:52pm Rich in Washington: ah, now I'm hearing the stream hiccups. Oh well. They're brief, hardly noticeable.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: I restarted the hiccup'd track again. I'm providing an intact file for the archives.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: We're going to hear from an artists a second time today in this set.
	2:00pm burke: Fun to follow these dips into and out of "country music." Nice to see that the boundaries around a genre can be penetrated.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Quite a lot of those dips today, burke.
	🛒 2:01pm WR: Choosing Costello doing this Lowe song, great example of not going for the obvious.
	2:02pm Pedro in Arlington: Still think you should do a chain show of just Johnny Cash and in-laws.
	2:02pm dan: Interesting how Johnny Cash and Nick Lowe are 2 songs apart in the chain considering that Johnny was Nick's step-father in law at one time.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: you two should collaborate!
	2:05pm dan: Next song will be Herman's Hermits version of "The End Of The World"
	2:11pm spodiodi: did look up Bake -- was surprised to see football pics
	2:12pm dan: At least I got the song right this time.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: yep
	2:15pm Cmurtha: Dion has far more range than I think he does. I didn't think it was him till I looked
	2:16pm johnk77: proud to be commenting from the bronx about boogie-down homeboy mr. dimucci
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: john!
	2:17pm johnk77: i had to look also;>
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: I really like Mott the Hoople.
	2:17pm mauri: Somehow i hear hurley
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: another cover of a song the singer wrote
	2:22pm northguineahills: I think I'll go pick up some Dominican food por almuerzo....
	2:24pm dan: Who covered "To Sir With Love"?
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: ngh! enjoy!
	2:24pm northguineahills: (in my experience, you can find better food in lower income neighborhoods, no matter the demographic. (see bbq).
	2:25pm northguineahills: or, any "peasant food" (see paella).
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: agreed
	🛒 2:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I've been listening but not commenting - hi everybody! - but have to say I love Lulu.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	2:27pm mauri: Im on a bus but i feel like im flying
	2:27pm doctorjazz: This Lulu cover rocks!
	2:29pm dan: Lulu did Here Comes The Night? Now that I did not know.
	2:29pm Cmurtha: I like this one because you went from Bowie who COVERS THIS, to Lulu to another cover. very slick
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Never realized this Them (hard to day) was a cover.
	2:29pm 23 Wolves: Man, I love Them and this might be one of their best songs....I don't know if its better than the faster take or not though! Great both ways.
	2:29pm mauri: Van the man like stan
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: 23W! Bert Berns wrote it and produced the Lulu version...before Them got to it.
	2:30pm dan: Van Morrison channeling his inner Mick Jagger.
	2:31pm johnk77: berns from boogie-down bronx
	2:31pm dan: Next is Jimi Hendrix's version of Wild Thing.
	2:31pm 23 Wolves: I mean like, one of their best recordings. Or favorite of mine. I like this leapfroggin' show though!
	2:32pm Rich in Washington: I've had the MC5 version of this on a taped-off-the-radio cassette since the mid 80s but only recently learned it was by MC5 fairly recently, thanks to a WFMU program.
	2:34pm StringOFperils: >my guess for next> Husker Du. Love Is All Around
	2:34pm Doug Schulkind: Back from a work thing. Happy to be among the Hinky faithful!
	2:34pm northguineahills: ok, never heard this Troggs. Wierd....
	2:35pm johnk77: joel selvin's book on bert berns quite interesting
	🛒 2:35pm WR: Bit of a curve since Them version is what we all know and released just a few months after Lulu had the song in the UK charts but great songs so not complaining. And I don't about chart status, but the Troggs version of "I can only..." is what I know best, but that may just be me.
	2:40pm Doug Schulkind: Time to step up to the plate and knock a pledge home run for our beloved Uncle Michael. Make a quick donation to WFMU in the name of Hinky Dinky TIme and show your appreciation for this great radio show! Pledge in honor of Uncle Michael here: pledge.wfmu.org...
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: This is wonderful!
	2:41pm dan: British Invasion meets Seattle Grunge.
	2:41pm mauri: Bada babaa baa
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: New Jersey grunge.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: I first heard The End of the World as done by Herman's Hermits.
	2:46pm doctorjazz: Stream alert!
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: hic'
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: Uncanny to hear surf music cut into Nada Surf.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: It's my internet connection. Nobody else is to blame.
	2:48pm Really Lisa: rough yet nada surf
	2:49pm johnk77: watch out for hidden undertow on interthingie
	2:49pm northguineahills: Wasn't into Nada Surf the first time around. In the last year, I have new appreciation for them.
	2:50pm Really Lisa: In the land of guiltless pleasures, I freely admit I really like Nada Surf.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: But do you like America covering Nada Surf, Lisa?
	2:51pm doctorjazz: This America sounds like Fountains of Wayne to me.
	2:52pm johnk77: thank u content arranger @um
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Still Haven't heard much Nada Surf. On the list, I guess.
	2:53pm Really Lisa: Well, UM, while I'm being an open book, not clicky star worthy pour moi.
	2:53pm prudy: love this duo!
	2:54pm dan: @doctorjazz That's because Adam Schlesinger produced the record.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: From Michael Shelley's 2017 marathon premium!
	2:54pm doctorjazz: This Sister Golden Hair is terrific!
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: prudy!
	2:54pm Cmurtha: Thanks for the show UM!
	2:55pm dan: @doctorjazz That's because Adam Schlesinger produced the album
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Low synthesizer notes?
	2:55pm Cmurtha: I love this Moog Cook book esque part of the cover more so than the singing.
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: Such a good song.
	2:56pm phat: Been a Wreckless Eric sort of week.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: We wrap it with the Monkees.
	2:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Uncle Michael! nice show today! brain confused, but ears happy cheerio, all
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	2:57pm Lizardner Dave 2: Fun show, thanks!
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: THANK YOU!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone...support WFMU!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Good gawd! I had no idea the Monkees covered this!
	2:57pm phat: Jesus, he doesn't get enough credit, does he?
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Super fun show today, UM!
	2:57pm KWilde: Never would have guessed this one
	2:57pm burke: Pretty great finale for being randomly chosen! Cheers, UM.
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Great show, UM!
	2:58pm Funky16Corners: Great stuff UM!
	2:58pm dan: We've come full circle. Great Covers Chain UM.
	2:58pm phat: Hi!
	2:59pm northguineahills: happies and thanks. UM!
	3:00pm still b/p: When is the full illustrated wall chart (scroll?) of the linkages and sequence of the show going to be printed and distributed?
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: You unchained your love, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 3:00pm Brian in UK: Good work, Uncle.
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Didn't know the America was produced by Schlesinger, but that sound was just there...
	🛒 3:02pm WR: Excellent program Uncle Michael! Thank you!
	3:02pm phat: Wait!? Nada Surf were on Saddle Creek? Weird. I thought they named it after the bar. Ill have to ask AJ.
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Dan, hadn't been closely following the comments.
	3:03pm doctorjazz: Bye!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Bye my friends. Thank you all.
	🛒 3:06pm WR: Did I miss the reveal of the key song or pair of songs that the chain was spun from?
	3:09pm Uncle Michael: The Otis Clay track was the seed. Spoon was on Saddle Creek. The label might have been named for the Saddle Creek Bar & Grill, the bar was named for the street it was on.
	🛒 6:50pm WR: Thank you for the reply but I can't put together Otis Clay and Spoon. Maybe 3rd listen will help. Again, a great show.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 16, 2020

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.

	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I keep trying!
	12:15pm dan: Content aside, I just love the old 1930s style of hand drawn animation. Shame it's all computers.
	12:16pm dan: The next song is going to be Bob Seger's version of Nutbush Blues.
	12:16pm Stevel: Must read Harlan Ellison re. his extremely short stint as a Disney writer: "Two things you must know. First, I do a terrific Mickey Mouse imitation. Absolutely phonographically perfect. If the publishers of this book had the money, they ought to bind in a record, one of those little plastic jobbies, so you could hear my spectacular Mickey imitation. When I tell this anecdote in person, it really enhances a lot. But just pretend you can hear it, okay? The second thing you need to know is that the Producers' Banquette had filled up with Roy Disney and the other heads of the studio, behind me; a fact of which I was unaware; a fact no one bothered to impart. At the top of my voice I suggested, "Hey, listen, what a kick! Why don't we do a porn Disney flick?" See Labor Relations: harlanellison.com...
	12:17pm dan: Followed by the McGarrigle Sisters version of You'll Accompany Me

	12:24pm Dominick: Yo
	12:24pm Little Danny: I had no idea that Simone's was the first version.
	12:25pm Hubig Pie: Is there a theme or just a random assortment of great tunes?
	12:25pm the Stork lurks...: FRIDAY, GODDAM IT! Hi Unc, hi fam.
	12:26pm Roberto: When I heard this as a kid I thought it was "I'm just a sore-losin' tensions are good"
	12:26pm Cmurtha: I think the chain-cover theme is he plas a cover song, then he plays a cover song by the artist who was just covered.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Hubig! It's an unbroken chain of covers.
	12:26pm Fuzzy: Wow, Friday already! Howdy!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! Fuzzy!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: What Cmurtha said.
	12:28pm Hubig Pie: That's alot to get me brain wrapped around, Mr Cmurtha
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: Thanks for spelling it out. I slow and sleepy
	12:33pm Dean: Does this mean we'll never hear Weird Al during one of these cover chain shows? "Daydream Believer"
	12:35pm KWilde: Todd!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Dean! Yes. No.
	12:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: I've heard of blockchain recently, but not a chain block.
	12:37pm ottovonbqe: once you move forward in time, you need to find an artists with a long career to go back. if you go too current, you could get yourself into a jam.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	12:38pm Dean: Earth Quake does a great version of "Kicks," but I don't know that anybody has ever covered an Earth Quake tune.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: That's one of the challenges, otto, for sure.
	12:38pm Roberto: Whoa, this Kicks cover just got silly.
	12:38pm ottovonbqe: johny cash could probably saved you if you start getting too contemporary!

	12:40pm Uncle Michael: WFMU accepts Bitcoin, but not hdtcoin.
	🛒 12:40pm Brian in UK: No one ever covered the Beatles.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: I think I should find a way to get the Isley Brothers into every theme show.
	12:41pm Dean: Not true, Brian in UK. Residents did.
	12:42pm Dean: And as the Residents report, the Beatles reciprocated. You could do a whole show just playing that one single, first side, second side, first, second...
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: Junior Parker covered The Beatles in a most sublime fashion
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Don't give up, dan.
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: I like where this set is going.

	12:48pm Dean: Marx was "write"?! What in the fuck is my brain doing this hellish morning?
	12:49pm Dean: But what Marx wrote was right.
	12:49pm Roberto: We visited Marx's grave last year in London. My wife put a stone on it kind of just to troll him.
	12:49pm spodiodi: must have been Harpo. unfamiliar
	12:51pm Robert sharp: Hey man. Great show as always!!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Robert! Thanks!
	12:52pm Rich in Washington: Howdy, Uncle Michael! Been listening while cooking up and consuming some grub!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Welcome.
	12:53pm Doug Schulkind: Getting some persistent drop-outs, UM.
	12:54pm mauri: Whats happening?

	12:59pm mauri: I dont think they ever loved that much.
	1:00pm Roberto: Oh she was on the Muppet Show once. That's where I remember her from.
	🛒 1:01pm dutchtheo: Hey Unk and the chain gang, Sam Cooke Peace in the valley
	🛒 1:02pm dutchtheo: on no it is not an Red Foley original
	1:02pm listener Rey: That was a helluva set UM!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:08pm dan: Phil Harris, a longtime Disney mainstay
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Rey!
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: I had a little Phil Harris guest spot on yesterday’s show
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: These shows are so intricately put together -- but also dislocating, as we never hear a version of a song as performed by the person we might most associate with it. If that makes sense.
	1:11pm Cmurtha: Bashful Rascals is a fun band name
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: What did you play, Larry? My mission, Jeff! Discombobulation!
	1:11pm Funky16Corners: Why didn’t Dr Demento ever play this version?
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: I played Louis Prima from the Jungle Book with scatting by old Phil
	1:13pm dan: Next will be Janis Joplin doing Me and Bobby McGee.
	1:14pm KWilde: Hmmm - can't think of any Kristofferson originals. You may have hit a wall UM
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone! Drive safely!
	1:15pm KWilde: I would bet on Roger Miller's version rather than Janis
	1:15pm the Stork lurks...: Didn't Kris K. write Me & Bobbie McGee? Not gonna google.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: I believe he did, Stork...
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: This live version was the actual hit single for Johnny.
	1:17pm the Stork lurks...: Yeah! Ring of Fire by some punk band up next?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Stork! I missed your entrance earlier!
	1:17pm Mr. Fine Wine: This concept makes my head hurt. Kudos to the programmer for navigating us through it.
	1:17pm still b/p: This is where it'd be fun to have a scene like when Marshall McLuhan shows up in Annie Hall -- have Uncle Michael pull Dr. Demento suddenly into the studio there in the video frame and he says, "You know nothing of my curating work!"
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! That's perfect. MFW!
	1:19pm Jeff Golick: @UM: do you have a definitive source (or sources) for determining the first release of a given song?
	1:19pm Funky16Corners: I think Demento would play the June Carter version. It’s just that the Dementoids and Dementites continually requested Phil Harris for the Funny Five
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: I do, Jeff. I trust it in good faith.
	1:21pm doctorjazz: The man in black can many anything feel like a polka.
	1:21pm dan: The Bob Dylan covers are endless, I'm going to take a wild guess and predict The Rascals' version of Like A Rolling Stone.
	🛒 1:22pm WR: What is definitive is that UM is threading the needle and making beautiful chain stitches.
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: This ("Train of Love") is a real pivot point. You could go ANYWHERE from here.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: WR! Thank your for the praise.
	1:23pm doctorjazz: Missed this Dylan album (not that I've kept up with his later output)
	1:23pm Funky16Corners: New Christy Minstrels doing Wigwam???
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I wonder if anyone would be able to guess which cover was the starting point for the undertaking, this time around. Not a Dylan album. A Cash tribute.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Maybe my favorite Dylan cover....on any given day.
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: Have you played the seed cut yet, @UM?
	1:24pm dan: Beatles Act Naturally or possibly Buck and Ringo's version.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: That would be telling, Jeff! It rules out half the show.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: This IS a great way to program covers!
	1:26pm the Stork lurks...: I'm supposed to be working on my show, but this concept has me on tenterhooks. btw: what the hell are tenterhooks? Not gonna google.
	1:26pm Jeff Golick: Fair enough. Just looking for an angle...
	1:28pm Funky16Corners: This is a wild arrangement
	1:28pm Cmurtha: OH THIS IS NOT EXPECTED
	1:28pm Jeff Golick: I'm not going to google, either, Stork, which is why I can say with immense authority that "tenterhooks" used to be used by washerwomen when they hung up large sheets or tablecloths to dry, to keep them on the line. If one fell off the line, it hurt if you accidentally stepped on it.
	1:29pm Cmurtha: Patsy Cline was a TALENT. Shame she Buddy Holly'd
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: The Patsy, Larry? I really like it.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: An artist coming up later found Patsy's wreckage. No lie. Big hint. No googling.
	1:30pm Lizardner Dave 2: Stork/Jeff: And here I thought the word originated from Depression era pimps who would only let their women sleep indoors if they brought in a certain amount of money, hence, "You can sleep in the tent or hooks".
	1:30pm Cmurtha: Really?? Damn that is some Trivia.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: @Dave 2: oh, wait. You are correct.
	1:31pm the Stork lurks...: @Jeff: can I take that to the bank, or are you using the Lucy Van Pelt method approach to academia (i.e.: make it up)?
	1:32pm Cmurtha: My Great Grandmother was always looked after well by the prostitutes in hell's kitchen, and I think as a result of that anytime anyone in my family washed up in the sink or had to do something in a sink it was always 'a whores bath', I think that was a common enough expression, but I think her connection to the working women is why it was such an consistent thing in my family. Never forget five year old me processing being told to go take a whores bath.
	1:32pm Mr. Fine Wine: Keep my ears outta this
	1:33pm Cmurtha: this came to me because of the tent thing
	1:34pm Jeff Golick: @Stork: definitely using the Rich Hall method (viz., Sniglets).
	🛒 1:34pm WR: I look up everything on Wikipedia, where i find Jeff is pretty close, it wasn't typical washer woman but during manufacturing of cloth, particularly wool, "The lengths of wet cloth were stretched on the tenter using tenterhooks (hooked nails whose long shank was driven into the wood) all around the perimeter of the frame to which the cloth's edges (selvedges) were fixed, so that as it dried the cloth would retain its shape and size. By the mid-18th century, the phrase on tenterhooks came to mean being in a state of tension, uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense, i.e., figuratively stretched like the cloth on the tenter."
	1:35pm Funky16Corners: @UM - I liked it too. The sorta Latinization was really cool
	🛒 1:36pm WR: And I had thought the phrase was tender hooks. Thank you, Stork, for giving me this opportunity to learn.
	1:36pm Jeff Golick: Geez that's weird, @WR. I was just making that up. The subconscious is a wild place.
	🛒 1:37pm Franco Twinkie: Cmurtha, This is one I heard: A P&P - pussy and pits.
	1:38pm spodiodi: PTA here, Franco pu* ti and a**
	1:39pm Cmurtha: that's such an odd fact. And now I know.
	1:39pm spodiodi: and before that, it was a PR shower, which is racist/nationalist and featured strong cologne/perfume
	1:39pm spodiodi: i was reluctant to mention either until Franco Twinkie stepped right up
	1:40pm bigplanetnoise: G’Afternoon, UM and Hinky crew!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: All I had to do was say "Nashville".
	🛒 1:41pm KevinfromBayRidge: Late to the Chain! Hello everybody!
	1:41pm bigplanetnoise: Boom.
	1:43pm Lizardner Dave 2: Tender hooks are what butchers use to cut the tenderloins out of beef primals.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Bake Turner; look him up.
	1:50pm Funky16Corners: Love this Otis. Flipside is an amazing version of You Don’t Miss Your Water
	1:50pm Jeff Golick: A "bake turner" is an early baseball term, for a batter who can be always counted on to end any good rally.
	1:51pm dan: Next will be Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson's version of "Going Back Home".
	1:52pm Roberto: Ach der stream ist ferkakte again.
	1:52pm Rich in Washington: ah, now I'm hearing the stream hiccups. Oh well. They're brief, hardly noticeable.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: I restarted the hiccup'd track again. I'm providing an intact file for the archives.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: We're going to hear from an artists a second time today in this set.
	2:00pm burke: Fun to follow these dips into and out of "country music." Nice to see that the boundaries around a genre can be penetrated.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Quite a lot of those dips today, burke.
	🛒 2:01pm WR: Choosing Costello doing this Lowe song, great example of not going for the obvious.
	2:02pm Pedro in Arlington: Still think you should do a chain show of just Johnny Cash and in-laws.
	2:02pm dan: Interesting how Johnny Cash and Nick Lowe are 2 songs apart in the chain considering that Johnny was Nick's step-father in law at one time.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: you two should collaborate!
	2:05pm dan: Next song will be Herman's Hermits version of "The End Of The World"
	2:11pm spodiodi: did look up Bake -- was surprised to see football pics
	2:12pm dan: At least I got the song right this time.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: yep
	2:15pm Cmurtha: Dion has far more range than I think he does. I didn't think it was him till I looked
	2:16pm johnk77: proud to be commenting from the bronx about boogie-down homeboy mr. dimucci
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: john!
	2:17pm johnk77: i had to look also;>
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: I really like Mott the Hoople.
	2:17pm mauri: Somehow i hear hurley
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: another cover of a song the singer wrote
	2:22pm northguineahills: I think I'll go pick up some Dominican food por almuerzo....
	2:24pm dan: Who covered "To Sir With Love"?
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: ngh! enjoy!
	2:24pm northguineahills: (in my experience, you can find better food in lower income neighborhoods, no matter the demographic. (see bbq).
	2:25pm northguineahills: or, any "peasant food" (see paella).
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: agreed
	🛒 2:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I've been listening but not commenting - hi everybody! - but have to say I love Lulu.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	2:27pm mauri: Im on a bus but i feel like im flying
	2:27pm doctorjazz: This Lulu cover rocks!
	2:29pm dan: Lulu did Here Comes The Night? Now that I did not know.
	2:29pm Cmurtha: I like this one because you went from Bowie who COVERS THIS, to Lulu to another cover. very slick
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Never realized this Them (hard to day) was a cover.
	2:29pm 23 Wolves: Man, I love Them and this might be one of their best songs....I don't know if its better than the faster take or not though! Great both ways.
	2:29pm mauri: Van the man like stan
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: 23W! Bert Berns wrote it and produced the Lulu version...before Them got to it.
	2:30pm dan: Van Morrison channeling his inner Mick Jagger.
	2:31pm johnk77: berns from boogie-down bronx
	2:31pm dan: Next is Jimi Hendrix's version of Wild Thing.
	2:31pm 23 Wolves: I mean like, one of their best recordings. Or favorite of mine. I like this leapfroggin' show though!
	2:32pm Rich in Washington: I've had the MC5 version of this on a taped-off-the-radio cassette since the mid 80s but only recently learned it was by MC5 fairly recently, thanks to a WFMU program.
	2:34pm StringOFperils: >my guess for next> Husker Du. Love Is All Around
	2:34pm Doug Schulkind: Back from a work thing. Happy to be among the Hinky faithful!
	2:34pm northguineahills: ok, never heard this Troggs. Wierd....
	2:35pm johnk77: joel selvin's book on bert berns quite interesting
	🛒 2:35pm WR: Bit of a curve since Them version is what we all know and released just a few months after Lulu had the song in the UK charts but great songs so not complaining. And I don't about chart status, but the Troggs version of "I can only..." is what I know best, but that may just be me.
	2:40pm Doug Schulkind: Time to step up to the plate and knock a pledge home run for our beloved Uncle Michael. Make a quick donation to WFMU in the name of Hinky Dinky TIme and show your appreciation for this great radio show! Pledge in honor of Uncle Michael here: pledge.wfmu.org...
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: This is wonderful!
	2:41pm dan: British Invasion meets Seattle Grunge.
	2:41pm mauri: Bada babaa baa

	2:46pm doctorjazz: Stream alert!
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: hic'
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: Uncanny to hear surf music cut into Nada Surf.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: It's my internet connection. Nobody else is to blame.
	2:48pm Really Lisa: rough yet nada surf
	2:49pm johnk77: watch out for hidden undertow on interthingie
	2:49pm northguineahills: Wasn't into Nada Surf the first time around. In the last year, I have new appreciation for them.
	2:50pm Really Lisa: In the land of guiltless pleasures, I freely admit I really like Nada Surf.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: But do you like America covering Nada Surf, Lisa?
	2:51pm doctorjazz: This America sounds like Fountains of Wayne to me.
	2:52pm johnk77: thank u content arranger @um
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Still Haven't heard much Nada Surf. On the list, I guess.
	2:53pm Really Lisa: Well, UM, while I'm being an open book, not clicky star worthy pour moi.
	2:53pm prudy: love this duo!
	2:54pm dan: @doctorjazz That's because Adam Schlesinger produced the record.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: From Michael Shelley's 2017 marathon premium!
	2:54pm doctorjazz: This Sister Golden Hair is terrific!
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: prudy!
	2:54pm Cmurtha: Thanks for the show UM!
	2:55pm dan: @doctorjazz That's because Adam Schlesinger produced the album
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Low synthesizer notes?
	2:55pm Cmurtha: I love this Moog Cook book esque part of the cover more so than the singing.
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: Such a good song.
	2:56pm phat: Been a Wreckless Eric sort of week.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: We wrap it with the Monkees.
	2:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Uncle Michael! nice show today! brain confused, but ears happy cheerio, all
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	2:57pm Lizardner Dave 2: Fun show, thanks!
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: THANK YOU!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone...support WFMU!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Good gawd! I had no idea the Monkees covered this!
	2:57pm phat: Jesus, he doesn't get enough credit, does he?
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Super fun show today, UM!
	2:57pm KWilde: Never would have guessed this one
	2:57pm burke: Pretty great finale for being randomly chosen! Cheers, UM.
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Great show, UM!
	2:58pm Funky16Corners: Great stuff UM!
	2:58pm dan: We've come full circle. Great Covers Chain UM.
	2:58pm phat: Hi!
	2:59pm northguineahills: happies and thanks. UM!
	3:00pm still b/p: When is the full illustrated wall chart (scroll?) of the linkages and sequence of the show going to be printed and distributed?
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: You unchained your love, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 3:00pm Brian in UK: Good work, Uncle.
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Didn't know the America was produced by Schlesinger, but that sound was just there...
	🛒 3:02pm WR: Excellent program Uncle Michael! Thank you!
	3:02pm phat: Wait!? Nada Surf were on Saddle Creek? Weird. I thought they named it after the bar. Ill have to ask AJ.
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Dan, hadn't been closely following the comments.
	3:03pm doctorjazz: Bye!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Bye my friends. Thank you all.
	🛒 3:06pm WR: Did I miss the reveal of the key song or pair of songs that the chain was spun from?
	3:09pm Uncle Michael: The Otis Clay track was the seed. Spoon was on Saddle Creek. The label might have been named for the Saddle Creek Bar & Grill, the bar was named for the street it was on.
	🛒 6:50pm WR: Thank you for the reply but I can't put together Otis Clay and Spoon. Maybe 3rd listen will help. Again, a great show.
