Today’s set is an idea or request from Kita. We were talking a few days back and she
suggested I do a set of old commercials.
I occasionally throw in an old commercial and I think that gave her the
idea. I figured a two-hour segment of just
commercials would go over like a turd in the punch bowl, so instead, I decided
to just add the commercials between the songs of a regular show.
These commercials were going to be "blasts from the past," the type that would make you go, “Oh my God, I remember that,” or, “I haven’t
thought about that in decades!” Then I
got to thinking. Why couldn’t the songs
do the same thing, bringing an overall theme to the whole show and have it all
be “Oh $h!t, I haven’t heard that in years!”
These would be songs that were the type that you couldn’t
turn on the radio without hearing for several weeks but then disappeared
forever. Since some of them were silly,
we’d often feign groaning when it came on the radio but would catch ourselves
humming or sing it when we were alone.
Now it is just fun to remember how much we pretended to hate them, or
maybe we just like shaking our head at things that were actually put out there.
Either way…
Join me tonight from 7-9 PM at AWT, as I present to you, DJ
Sue’s Oh $h!t Jukebox from Hell.
From Billy, Don’t Be a Hero, by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, to
They’re Coming to Take me Away, by Napoleon XIV, and don’t forget the
commercials, including ones for cigarettes and beer.
