That's how the late British crooner, Frankie Vaughan got his name.

good morning everyone!
you're waking up me and my neighbors again Doug.

Listener Dave from NH
This track's gorgeous.
Is it wrong for me to be chuckling at the show's title? I can't tell if it's sacrilege or what.

We're all going to h e double toothpicks for laughing at that! But it'll be fun.

From:

Man, this piano is awesome! Thank you Doug!
And, also, "God's Cheney" is a classic. Better than what my friend calls him "Darth Pope".

<Is it wrong for me to be chuckling at the show's title?>
It depends if you believe all that god stuff and fervently wish to be laden with guilt for the rest of your life.

was that popeye before the cartoons?

Aw, I missed Josephine Baker.

If Joseph Ratzinger is God's Cheney, then who is God's Bush, I wonder?

Billy Costello was the original voice of Popeye. I think he was for an appreciable amount of time. Expert I ain't, but Danny Stiles plays Billy Costello's version of Popeye the Sailor Man often, and it's amazing!

As much as Benedict bugs me, I must say it is commendable he is meeting with abuse victims. That's something JP II didn't manage.

You can't be crabby when the blues is playing. Paradoxical, isn't it?

From:
Paul Sherratt
Hugo,
God's Bush ? Burning question that .. now did that Johnny Preston make anyone think of Ronnie Dawson's " Action Packed " ?
Also, has " Father Ted " reached the US ?

i've only seen father ted on dvd, occationally on public television, but then again, i don't even have basic cable. i love father ted! 'tis a shame he went up and died on us.

god would be bush in this equation

Father Ted shows up on the BBCA sometimes, and also some PBS stations.

Yeah Hasil!! One of my favorite tunes ever!
Fri. 4/18/08 10:37am
From:

i think i have a new favorite song (no more hot dogs).
in the genre of decapitation songs.
Fri. 4/18/08 10:41am
From:
Cecile
We need an all decapitation theme show.
Fri. 4/18/08 10:42am
From:
pat
That would include TV Set by the Cramps.
Fri. 4/18/08 10:42am
From:

<god would be bush in this equation>
I suppose that would be god the son as opposed to god the father or god the holy ghost. Jesus!?

Paul Sherratt
Cecile,
BBCA ? Gosh, it wasn't a BBC programme over here - it was broadcast by C4, a commercial station.
I got in to a little trouble on April 1, a couple of years when I wrote on a BBC News message board, that I'd just learned that Pope Benedict XV was dead ...

From:
Carmichael
Good morning all.
It's always about who I missed before I get to work. Guitar Slim, Johnny Copeland and Hasil Adkins! I'm gonna need to apply myself to my job a little better.
Fri. 4/18/08 10:45am
From:
Cecile
I'm sorry, Paul. BBCA is BBC America, which is really sort of British Television catchall network over here in the States.

British Television catchall , ah I see, a kind of repeater station ..

Country Funk sounds so perfect on a sunny New York day.

"Cut and Come Again" [sic] - there's a great version of this by Del Shannon. Might be in the mp3 library.

Been trying to get my 7 year old into Would You Believe...he loves that particular song.

David Axelrod didn't have anything to do with Ollinga, did he?
Fri. 4/18/08 10:59am
From:

Wasn't there a song called "The Water Was Red" back in the '60s, about a guy's gal who was eaten by a shark?!?
Fri. 4/18/08 11:01am
From:
Cecile
I don't know, but it sounds awesome
Fri. 4/18/08 11:04am
From:

Decapitation? The Gift by the Velvet Underground?
Fri. 4/18/08 11:07am
From:
Carmichael
Ha, found it!! Good ol' Johnny Cymbal, no wonder I remember it.
I second your idea, Cecile. 3 hours of death!
Fri. 4/18/08 11:09am
From:
Elias
No decapitation set would be complete without Some Heads Are Gonna Roll by Judas Priest.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:11am
From:
Carmichael
Or "Pizza Pie" from National Lampoon's Lemmings.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:12am
From:

Good one Elias!
Fri. 4/18/08 11:13am
From:

Wait, the Gift isn't about decapitation is it? Oswald sends himself in a box and gets a scissors stuck in his head. I'm afraid that doesn't qualify...
Fri. 4/18/08 11:13am
From:
IntangibleArts
Holy Pope Giblets, batman, this Leon Thomas vocal is everything I ever wanted outta life....
Fri. 4/18/08 11:15am
From:
Cecile
We could expand the theme to "head injuries" and include, "ain't that a kick in the head...."
Fri. 4/18/08 11:16am
From:
Toby
I LOVE Leon! Saw him w/Pharoah in '74.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:17am
From:
Matt
In that case, would "I'm no sicko, there's a plate in my head" by the Oblivians count?
Fri. 4/18/08 11:17am
From:
Cecile
Absolutely.
And Plate in My Head from the Didjits
Fri. 4/18/08 11:22am
From:
Carmichael
Do they have to be tragic accidents? I know a good number of homicide tunes. Mostly guys killing their woman because she ain't doin' him right.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:23am
From:
Sean Daily
Like this Stanley Conwell.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:24am
From:
Carmichael
I'm definitely gonna go score me some Leon. Now I'm into yodeling, BIG time. Move over, Sons of the Pioneers.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:25am
From:
Cecile
I will leave our host to make that call.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:25am
From:
Carmichael
Look, I love a good tragic accident as much as the next guy. I'm just sayin' ....
Fri. 4/18/08 11:26am
From:
Dickdong
The Gift. It's the schmuck Waldo who parcels himself off to his lady love only to have the scissors plunged fairly and squarely into his skull. More amateur trapanning than decapitation.
Fri. 4/18/08 11:27am
From:
Carmichael
She turns the tables on him. Now we're talkin ..
Fri. 4/18/08 11:29am
From:

The Baptist Generals " 2/3rds Jim's Head " I seem to remember that being headless song.

Just outstanding music, as always Doug, wish I could delay this meeting I have a half hour.
