Cover Your Heads: The Conclusion


The show is now complete. Things went smooth, except for the fact that my playlist said we were going to spin Social Distortion, not Johnny Cash, but hey, whatever. These things happen.

Here's useless information for my last 4 songs on my "Top 20" list. You now know that 3 of these 4 were chosen. Here we go:

17. METISYAHU - Message in a Bottle
Original artists The Police seem to be back together, so doest this mean the end of Klark Kent? Although apparently, Stewart Copeland has never admitted to being Klark Kent, or, at times, Klerk Kant, it's definitely him. The only song under this alter ego to get any airplay was "Away from Home".

18. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Renegades of Funk
This one comes from the man who brought us "Planet Rock". Afrika Bambaataa has been hiding his age since day one. He has yet to reveal his exact date of birth... Although, if my sources are correct, he's going to be 50 years old as of April.

19. FOO FIGHTERS - Baker Street
The original artist of Baker Street was Gerry Rafferty, and most people know him better as the lead singer for Stealers Wheel, that band that did "Stuck in the Middle". Guitar replacing saxophone in this update? Much, much better.

20. RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - Love Rollercoaster
Initially recorded by the Ohio Players, a band that was once part of a scandal over this very song: An urban legend states that the model from the cover of the album was murdered in the studio when she complained about the honey burns she received from the photo session. Fans were led to believe that either the manager of the band killed her, or some random intruder did when she came to complain... You can hear her screams right on the track, listeners state. Hee hee.

Hope you liked the show, if you listened. If not, I love you anyway.

Our parents ignored us for a whole hour while they listened to you on Sonic! We missed out on many head rubs and belly scratches! Damn you, Shawn! I'm glad I pooped on your rug!!
By the way, Chester says hi.

hey,

i don't know if you noticed this or not but when the son "Music" was introduced by your co-host she said the song was "Out of Your Mouth" by Music. (rather than "Music" by Out of your mouth).

Peace out

P.S Screw Flanders
