fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d A 'That sounds WAY familiar' with the before and after would be interesting.
However, I'm not sure if it is just not cricket to play an artist more than 3 times in a podcast presentation.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d That's the King vs his former son-in-law!
>>> Elvis songs and parodies verses Michael Jackson songs and parodies ?

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d The Weird Al topic sounds like a great idea. But instead of having an entire show of just Weird Al songs, it should also include other artists' covers and/or parodies of Weird Al songs and/or parodies.
Weird Al's "Headline News" is a parody of Crash Test Dummies' "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm". I've also parodied that song (in true filker fashion) to cover episodes of The Twilight Zone. I have part one completed already and intend to continue writing and rerecording until I've (someday) filked the entire series... three episodes at a time.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Maybe you can do a Elvis MMS for us?
I would love too but I don't really understand internet radio well enough nor do I think I have the equipment.
If my friend greg from www.InYourFaceRadio.net would help me do it I could but at the moment he's not responding to my myspace messages.

I think a Mad Musics Most requested Weird Al show would be great !
Or I would love to hear a Weird Al rarity show.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d How about a show consisting of all humorous instrumental music, or vocal music with no lyrics? Some great sonic dementia artists of the past that come to mind are:
Ferrante & Teicher's Blast Off album with the Chopstick Cha Cha
www.ferranteandteicher.com/
Jean Jacques Perrey & Dana Countryman- Harry's Rag
www.jeanjacquesperrey.com/
Andre Popp- esp. Beer Barrell Polka, or Perles de Cristal
www.spaceagepop.com/popp.htm
Yma Sumac's- Gopher Mambo
www.yma-sumac.com/
Esquival
www.spaceagepop.com/esquivel.htm
And of course if there are any contemporary artists doing well-produced comedic lunatic sound scapes, that would be great too. I just don't have any that come to mind at the moment.
|
|
fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I do, too. The original version of 'Yoda', School Cafeteria, stuff everyone has. If there is a Weird Al show, it'd be nice to hear all the rarities. And maybe afterward lean toward the stuff he writes himself rather than just his parodies. It's been years since I could recognize what he's having a go at. I'll bet he has to do a little research as well.

In the Mood--Ray Stevens
Robot Chicken Theme

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d How about a show of "B" or Flip sides.Could call it "Songs you didn't know you had".For fun flip the segment order,put the Top Three and New and Noteable in the first segment and the Tresure Chest in the last. As a kid I would only buy a 45 if the flip side was not on the album the hit A side came from.
As a side note I have a 45 that Boy George sued to remove from store shelves because the artist parodied Karma Kamelion without permission."I'm a Milwaukeean" by Guy Herman and the Bubbler Boys 1984 Breezeway Records number 2520 I don't think you'll find this one on itunes.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I heard this on a golden oldies station once, so it not an original topic.
The idea was songs which had been successful only after they were covered by another artist. It was really intriguing to hear how different an original artist conceived of a song compared to the more popular version.
I realize that there may not be as many comedy songs "covered" in the same sense. But maybe some sort of topic which shows how the comedy music has progressed over time.
I don't know. I guess I'm just typing out loud.

...some of which may not be as funny as some songs, but their novelty nature (Or so I have been told by one tight-arsed program director after another) make them candidates for the Mad Music Show.
For that matter, you could stick Cledus Maggard's "Daddy I Gotta Go" on the end of the two C.W. McCall songs to make a three-song set.
At one country station I used to work at I used to occasionally play "In Heaven There is No Beer" (artist...?) back to back with Tom T. Hall's "I Like Beer" and "Do They Have Mogen David in Heaven?"

The topic has been done before. Check out episode 41, "The Top 40 Most Popular Songs Never Played".
I do agree though... It's about time we had another "Never Played" show, to bring new variety into our Mad Music experience. We could, however, make it a request show this time.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Ill have to check those two out,
I do kinda wish that Dr Demento was played locally, but well, it is the bible belt and even though we get like 40 stations they are all either Country, HipHop BS, EMO, or some preacher telling us we will go to hell unless we send him all our money.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d You might want to go back to a year before you joined us and listen to Episode 19, The Long Song Festival I guest hosted. Here is what I calculated for the show:
I've added up the track times to come up with these catagories:
* Played only once or twice on syndicated Dr. Demento - 31:02
* Played more often on syndicated Dr. Demento - 26:36
* Never played on Dr. Demento - 52:56
Just about half never heard before, add 25% for rarities heard for the first time on The Mad Music Show.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I can think of two possible reasons for this..... First, lots of requests for the old favourites and none for the underplayed..... Second, Wayne might not have everything in his collection.
The topic has been done before. Check out episode 41, "The Top 40 Most Popular Songs Never Played".
I do agree though... It's about time we had another "Never Played" show, to bring new variety into our Mad Music experience. We could, however, make it a request show this time.

How about,
Songs that have Never been played on the show Before.
there are so may groovy songs in the archives, and well, I looked through the past shows and there are a lot of the songs that get repeated often, when another song could have taken its place that has not been on the show.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I don't know if you'll remember, but I once suggested a show about demented soft rock. I don't think any comedy show has ever done anything like that. I'm sure there's plenty of material to fill two hours. Here are a few examples:
Weird Al - Do I Creep You Out/Frank's 2000" TV
Brian Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
The Dan Orr Project - Nights in White Castle
The great Luke Ski - The Ballad of Optimus Prime
Monty Python - I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d You could include any of today's grunge artists.
It took Mozart, Mantovani & Motorhead 50,000 years to bring music from caveman grunts to modern music, it took the average grunge artist 100 years to take it back.
As a request for the show, while it is not strictly speaking a song, how about The Piltdown Man sequence from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.

True enough. I was thinking more of an all inclusive 'primitive pandemonium' sort of show (Hmm...decent sounding name). Cavemen, dinosaurs, jungles, monkeys, Tarzan even. All things primitive. Haven't clobbered this subject with a stone club yet.

All excellent choices! But are there really two hours worth of caveman songs? Hmm. I'll have to noodle on that. Now, add Dinosaurs to the mix...well, and maybe you still only have an hour or less. How about PREHISTORIC DEMENTIA covering anything before the dawn of recorded time. You can include "King Tut" and any mummy songs you can think of.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d King Tut wasn't exactly before recorded time.... Those hieroglyphics weren't exactly graffiti you know. Come to think of it, cave paintings were probably some kind of record too.....

"Funny Songs by Serious Artists"
For instance, we just recently heard "Twisted" by Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. "Big 10-Inch" by Aerosmith would also fit the category. I'm sure there are enough of these to make a good show, but I can't think of many more right now.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Cars (Show #38) and Planes (#47) were done. Trains was not done by Wayne, but I believe that it has been done by The Doctor. This is not to sugggest that any topic can't be repeated. You just hope there is enough material so that different songs can be played.
Myths and legends sounds intriguing.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d How about MYTHS & LEGENDS? I can think of a few songs that would fit that one. Tho I still like my earlier suggestion of CRIME & PUNISHMENT.
