Jimi Hendrix-Voodoo Chile

If I here one more young air talent backsell this song as "Voodoo Chili" I'm going to have a stroke.

Voodoo Thang - Colin James

I just thought of a couple.

"Born On The Bayou" (Chasin' down a Hoodoo)- CCR
"Eye of the Zombie" John Fogerty

"Voodoo Chile"--reminds me of the time a Great 98 intern called the Police song "Sin-crotch-ity"

Scott - You are certainly expending my musical horizons. Get this - I just saw a The Omen movie marathon spot on AMC, and it was overscored with your beloved 666 (St. John the Devine.) And I recognized it!

Seeing as how nobody brought it back up for the umpteenth year in a row, here it is...

Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie (that's a twofer).

I'd keel over if I heard a radio station that had the fortitude to play one day of Halloween music, except for one or two playings of Monster Mash.

There's a great SciFi box Rhino put out a few years ago, that I wish i had but can't afford, called Brain In A Box. It would be a great Halloween play all by itself.

Jet, the picture to the left of your post brought up a song not listed:

Guess Who--Clap For The Wolfman

Kitesgot · Post by **Kitesgot** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:07 pm

I forgot all about that song.

For cryin' out loud, that should be the ANTHEM for us.

How many songs have an actual radio-guy doing his schtick as a part of the song?

And-----how did they perform that song in concert, or did they at all?

Oh---two others do come to mind, although the radio people are 'generic' and not individually honored. I'm sure there are plenty more---which could become a thread all it's own.

"We Built this City" (Starship)
"Paradise....dashboard light" (Meatloaf) the part in the song with the play-by-play

"Werewolves of London" - Warren Zevon

Leave it to Scott to miss that one, but remember "Roland, The Headless Thompson Gunner".

In his excellent book called " Have Mercy!: Confessions of the Original Rock 'N' Roll Animal" Wolfman Jack talked about how he was bored with his radio gig in NY when Burton Cummings offered him more money to go out on the road with The Guess Who to perform the song "Clap For The Wolfman" for a few months than he made for an entire year on his radio gig...

The man took the money!!!

It wouldn't actually be their "schtick" necessarily, but the following "jocks on vinyl" come to mind:

Wolfman Jack ("Did You Boogie With Your Baby In The Back Row Of The Movie Show?" by Flash Cadillac)

Dickie Goodman ("Energy Crisis '74" and all the others)

Hudson And Landry ("Ajax Liquor Store", "Bruiser LaRue")

Rege Cordic ("Bingo")

Les Crane ("Desiderata")

Byron MacGregor ("The Americans")

The Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace")

And then, of course there are the radio references in:
Charlie Dore--Pilot Of The Airwaves
Sugarloaf--Don't Call Us, We'll Call You (Wolfman Jack imitation)
The Ramones--Do You Remember Rock And Roll Radio
The Kinks--Around The Dial
The Sports--Who Listens To The Radio?

No Disco Duck?

You have to keep realizing that I consider Rick Dees as the singer of "Disco Duck" and not a radio personality.

And, oh, by the way you sparked something in me: "Do You Think I'm Disco?" by Steve Dahl. I hope that makes up for the Rick Dees omission...

After a year off, I thought "why not"?

Although it may be better posted under "Show Prep And Misc"...

Don't think I missed them.
