I worked at a Classic Rock FM in California in the 90s and we tried to get Zappa to appear on a Mother's Day broadcast, but it didn't happen. :(

Hello tim, JCHarry Parmenter: Alright Swingin' Sunday Becky and HMD!
Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Harry Parmenter @7:08
Hi there, Harry!Brinley:
↳ Song: "Tiger Feet" by "Mud"
The Songwriters Hall of Fame is nothing until Mike Chapman is in it. There, I said it!Scott From Boston:

This is the shit!!!Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ tim @7:07
And Timmy, too!Harry Parmenter:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:10
Great opening set tonight.Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:10
Yes!Jay Current:
↳ Song: "Tiger Feet" by "Mud"
A DJ GeorgyGirl favorite as wellCali4nyaStreamin':
↳ Song: "Tiger Feet" by "Mud"
thought they were saying tiger 'beat'Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Jay Current @7:05
And Jay Current, too!Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Skinny Robbie @7:03
What are you drinkin’?Cali4nyaStreamin': aren't tiger feet 'paws'?
Scott From Boston: Mud rules
Jay S.:
↳ Cali4nyaStreamin' @7:12
I suppose the ends of the feet are the pawsBrinley:
↳ Song: "1, 2, 3, Red Light" by "Ohio Express"
This version always gives me some kind of aural imposter syndrome...! That said, will take any excuse to hear the dulcet tones of Joey.Jay S.:
↳ Brinley @7:13
ExactlyBrinley: Whoever was playing bass at the session was absolutely on fire that day...
Jay S.:
↳ Brinley @7:14
Just a perfect backing trackJay Current:
↳ Song: "1, 2, 3, Red Light" by "Ohio Express"
They didn't really bother to hide the innuendo for this one.Brinley:
↳ Jay S. @7:14
Yes!! Would do anything to get that sound out of drums today.Cali4nyaStreamin': Major League Baseball is all about pink stuff today
David Shortell:
↳ Skinny Robbie @6:56
I haven't heard any airplay of "Motherly Love" today.Jay Current:
↳ Song: "Goody Goody Gumdrops" by "1910 Fruitgum Company"
I really like the production work on this one - very tasteful backing strings.Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:13
I think he’s just singing over their track, right?Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Jay Current @7:18
I think my fave of there’s. Actually, I think Shirley Applegate is by them and I love that one.Jay S.:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:18
Sounds like it to meBrinley:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:18
For sure, though if memory serves the same thing happened in reverse, too - a 1910 version of Yummy, right?Cali4nyaStreamin':
↳ Song: "Take Five" by "The Soulful Strings"
more soulful than Brubeck?David Shortell:
↳ Song: "Goody Goody Gumdrops" by "1910 Fruitgum Company"
I missed these guys when they played the 2017 Red Bank Oyster Festival.Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:20
Maybe they auditioned both bands for those songs.Becky Ebenkamp: Altho Joey wrote Yummy, so I’m sure he got dibs on that. Hi, Cali!
Becky Ebenkamp: I love this song so much!
Jay Current:
↳ Song: "Take Five" by "The Soulful Strings"
Punk and bubblegum are both ultimately close descendants of '50s rock, after all.Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ David Shortell @7:20
Hi, David!Brinley:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:22
True that! Always guessed it was convenient/easy album filler to borrow from each other. Quick, easy vocal overdubs!Brinley:
↳ Song: "See the Light" by "The Flame"
Easy to see how much they added to the BBs sound. And Stig accidentally sued himself!Jay S.:
↳ Brinley @7:24
See also: Green Tambourine by Lemon Pipers/Peppermint RainbowCali4nyaStreamin':
↳ Song: "See the Light" by "The Flame"
beatles-esque to my earCali4nyaStreamin':
↳ Song: "See the Light" by "The Flame"
good thoughBrinley:
↳ Jay S. @7:26
Was thinking the same thing!Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Cali4nyaStreamin' @7:27
Domenic can’t hear it, which is funny to me. He’s the biggest Beatles fan in the world. I think they sound like Abbey Road.Jay Current:
↳ Jay S. @7:26
Less extreme than back in the '40s, where every other major label would try to push out its own version of the latest hit songRobin Banks: Killer set!
Brinley:
↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Chocolate Watchband"
Excellent version! Somehow never heard this before, but loving every second of it.Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:29
Isn’t it amazing?Jay Current:
↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Chocolate Watchband"
A late '60s Rolling Stones vibe to this one; could have fit on Between the ButtonsCali4nyaStreamin':
↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Chocolate Watchband"
stones-esque cover of DylanBecky Ebenkamp: It’s what Besk samples on that one song…
Cali4nyaStreamin':
↳ Jay Current @7:30
I concurBecky Ebenkamp: Beck
Scott From Boston:
↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Chocolate Watchband"
Fantastic! Nothing moreCali4nyaStreamin': BADFINGER is so great
Eric R:
↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Badfinger"
Nice blend of the Be My Baby beat and George’s Badge styleBrinley:
↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Badfinger"
One of the perfect songs ever! And much prefer this album mix to the single version.Becky Ebenkamp: For Heisenberg
Brinley: Prime Badfinger with Something/Anything-era Todd at the desk is a pipe dream... and yet somehow real!
Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:33
Did he produce?Jay S.:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:33
Badfinger is the one who knocksHunterian:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:33
Best show ending ever? I think sotim: Enjoying the selections, Becky!
Hunterian:
↳ Jay S. @7:34
Answer is correctJay S.:
↳ Song: "That’s When Happiness Began" by "Gwynn Owen"
New ZealandBecky Ebenkamp:
↳ Hunterian @7:34
It WAS pretty good, wasn’t it? There was no way out and that song was the perfect love song.Brinley:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:34
Indeed! Think the single mix was done in-house at Apple after he completed the album, thoughJay S.:
↳ Song: "Girls It Ain't Easy" by "The Honey Cone"
Honey Cone is super-underratedBrinley:
↳ Song: "Girls It Ain't Easy" by "The Honey Cone"
This is so good. And wow, what a story with Footsee!Jay S.:
↳ Song: "Inside, Outside, Upside Down" by "Sonny Childe"
aka R.B. GreavesBecky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:40
No one is playing that version on yt — just the dumb Northern Soul versh.Scott From Boston:
↳ Song: "Inside, Outside, Upside Down" by "Sonny Childe"
Love this!!!Brinley:
↳ Jay S. @7:43
Is it really!? Wow! Was going to say it vaguely reminded me of Johnny Rivers vocally...Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Jay S. @7:43
Oh, thanks!Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Jay S. @7:43
I added it in the Comments.Jay S.:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:45
Cool!Becky Ebenkamp:
↳ Brinley @7:44
Your thumbnail looks like a Sloan lp, Brinley!izzy: Plimsouls!
Jay Current:
↳ Song: "Zero Hour" by "The Plimsouls"
Very Castello-ishJay S.:
↳ Song: "Zero Hour" by "The Plimsouls"
Their first singleBrinley:
↳ Becky Ebenkamp @7:46
Hadn't thought of that, but I love it!! A close friend created this lovely psychedel-ish portrait of me, had to use it!Jay Current:
↳ Song: "New York Groove" by "Hello"
Notably covered by Ace FrehleyJay S.:
↳ Jay Current @7:50
Yes, three years after this came outBrinley: BTW - Becky and Robbie (if he's still here), lovely seeing you guys at the Bandcamp party the other day!!
