THURSDAY'S CHILD
1. Corduroy - Moshi Moshi (3:03) THURSDAY'S #1 2. Big Mama Thornton and The Joe Scott Orchestra - Mischievous Boogie (2:34) CHILD #1
"Welcome to Saturday Tea Time on Ellensburg Community Radio. I am your radio bloke Paul Dunn and I will be playing you weird and wonderful music for the next two hours. We started off with Corduroy and their song about how you answer the phone in Japan, Moshi Moshi. While we are in a mischievous mood we had a Mischievous Boogie with Big Mama Thornton and The Joe Scott Orchestra. Time to go back to school, old skool to precise with Lesson 3. Your professors are Double Dee & Steinski."
3. Double Dee & Steinski - Lesson of 3 (History Of Hip Hop) (5:04) THURSDAY'S #2 4. The Thursday Road Club - Lay Me Down (3:45) CHILD #2
"That was The Thursday Road Club with Lay Me Down. Now off to sixties Iceland with Thor's Hammer singing about My Life. Why thank you."
5. Thor's Hammer - My Life (2:21) THURSDAY'S #3 6. Sparky Lightbourne - Where You Goin', Chicken? (6:41) CHILD #3
"There was Sparky Lightbourne enquiring Where You Goin', Chicken? So England's World Cup dreams are over finishing fourth, which ain't bad really. As you maybe aware, I have been playing you a footie song each week and I've saved the most popular one for last. It is by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner with music being provided by the Lightning Seeds and was written for Euro 96 which was being hosted by England. Trust me when I say you have not been able to avoid this song for the past month in England."
7. Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds - Three Lions (3:45) THURSDAY'S #4 8. Spike Milligan - The Q5 Piano Tune (2:24) CHILD #4
"A quality silly song by Spike Milligan written for his surreal sketch show Q5. Spike Milligan's Q series bridged the gap in British comedy from The Goon Show to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Next up is glam stompers Slade and Get Down And Get With It, which I only recently found out was a cover of a song that Little Richard recorded while in England in '67, which itself was a cover of song written and recorded by former drag artist Bobby Marchin in 1964. Anyway here is Slade's 1971 version."
9. Slade - Get Down And Get With It (3:51) THURSDAY'S #5 10. Thursday's Children - You'll Never Be My Girl (2:06) CHILD #5
"That was Thursday's Children with You'll Never Be My Girl. Now to my lazy thought out feature, Same Name Different Song. The song is Blue Monday and first we will go to Fats Domino and then to New Order. By the way did you know that the 12 inch of New Order's Blue Monday had such expensive artwork that everytime they sold a copy they lost money. Fun fact, fact fans."
"From Blue Monday by New Order to Ruby Tuesday by The Rolling Stones. See some thought has gone into this show, although I'm not saying it was a good thought."
13. The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday (3:12) THURSDAY'S #7 14. Matt Monro - Wednesday's Child (2:38) CHILD #7
"From Wednesday's Child by Matt Monro to Holy Thursday by David Axelrod. Oh yeah I'm on a roll."
15. David Axelrod - Holy Thursday (5:29) THURSDAY'S #8 16. Funkadelic - Friday Night, August 14th (5:24) CHILD #8
"From Friday Night, August 14th by Funkadelic to Saturday's Child by The Monkees. I love it when a plan comes together."
17. The Monkees - Saturday's Child (2:44) THURSDAY'S #9 18. Sonic Youth - Sunday (Edit Version) (3:16) CHILD #9
"There was Sonic Youth getting us to the end of the week with Sunday. Next up is a charity shop record purchase because I liked the cover. It is the soundtrack to a 1960 US TV show I have never seen called Mr. Lucky and here is Henry Mancini's theme."
19. Henry Mancini - Mr. Lucky (2:11) THURSDAY'S #10 20. Freak Power - Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out (Radio Mix) (4:28) CHILD #10
"One of those Fatboy Slim off shoots Freak Power with Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out. Next up is Sham 69 with Hurry Up Harry from their silly second album That's Life, a not needed punk concept album about a bloke getting the sack then blowing his final wages on a night out."
21. Sham 69 - Hurry Up Harry (3:53) THURSDAY'S #11 *CUE & FADE OUT* 22. The Beatles - Three Cool Cats (2:26) CHILD #11
"From the failed Decca auditions, that was The Beatles with Three Cool Cats. Next up is Dan the Automator and Prince Paul's collaboration project Handsome Boy Modeling School with Rock 'n' Roll Could Never Hip Hop Like This."
23. Handsome Boy Modeling School - Rock 'n' Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This) (4:22) THURSDAY'S #12 *FADE OUT* 24. Hot Chocolate - Every 1's A Winner (4:50) CHILD #12
"That was Hot Chocolate with Every 1's A Winner. I just love the guitar work on that. Next up is the Four Tops with If I Were A Carpenter."
25. Four Tops - If I Were A Carpenter (2:47) THURSDAY'S #13 26. The Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs (5:13) CHILD #13
"That was the classic Venus In Furs by The Velvet Underground. After all that, let's Slip Into Something More Comfortable with Kinobe."
27. Kinobe - Slip Into Something More Comfortable (4:42) THURSDAY'S #14 28. Rupie Edwards - Ire Feelings (Skanga) (3:47) CHILD #14
"Rupie Edwards with Ire Feelings, Skanga! Now to Evil Nine with They Live! If you ever get the chance, check out the video, it's funny. Starts off with office workers going through the motion zombie like, then real zombies turn up as the night watch men and just muck about the office."
29. Evil Nine - They Live! (4:37) THURSDAY'S #15 30. Tom Jones - Looking Out My Window (2:23) CHILD #15
"That was Welsh voice, Tom Jones with Looking Out My Window. It's the end of another Tea-Time and we are going to finish with Happy Mondays with Wrote For Luck. Remember before next Saturday, when I hope you'll join me again, check out eburgradio.org and all the great shows that are going on throughout the week. Now pour that last cuppa from the pot and enjoy. Cheerio!"
