Uneasy Listening Sat Dec 10 with Commie Francis on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

What’s happening?!

Parked!

What’s going on!?

What’s all this about??

i won't make you wait TOO long

for 3 hours more

Hi everyone! I found a parking space. What do I do next?

just get with it and PARK

Turn off the lights, keep the radio on.

Saturday night inspired Blitz Bop

Get on the roof and dance

that's true carlos! joey wanted a chant intro

Old enough to recall see8ng

On Howard Cosell Variety show

as soon as it’s Dark, it can be closing time for a Park

man i already forgot if that lime crush had a dark rhyme

real gasoline engines...

Oh my Gawd

NEW ORDER 🖤🖤🖤 a favourite tune❣️

i figured i'd make up for the disappointment last week!

Very charming! No disappointment! Many thanks, DJ CommieFrancis!

I am B U Z Z I N 😵‍💫

gary stop creepin

I was gonna say

Is listener Charles from Northampton UK? Showtime shows "The Show", which was filmed and set in that town.

he is from northampton mass usa!

nice set :)

oops

I've never heard anything from "Sunday in the Park with George", even though it was once televised for "American Playhouse".

i watched that! i vaguely remember the title song

i almost played the song "sunday in the park" from the ilgwu revue "pins and needles" but it got thee axe this time around

i was a big mandy patinkin fan when i was a child

i mean i still think he's great! i haven't turned against patinkin

Love this, my husband just picked me up from a medieval times birthday party

Hi Commie! That last piece reminded me of "Palisades Park" by Freddy Cannon. Is there any chance we'll hear that tonight?

oooo - digging back into this one

Yes, Rob!

i was thinking about playing the version he recorded where he changed it to kennywood park, rob!

but i don't think i will get to either this time around

😭😭

The 80's video is fun to watch:)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgzib59HA40

Thanks, Richard! I'll watch it soon

Who sang that Palisades Park advert we heard before Missing Foundation? It wasn't the singer of the popular 1962 song “Palisades Park” (who also sings the theme for your other WPRB program “Transistor Sister”).

i couldn't figure it out! i think it's just anonymous studio musicians

that must be a request from Bill :)

i A L M O S T played uriah heep this week, bill's fave who i usually hate. but i had too many epic ballads already (one)

Jimbo - yes!

I escaped all the scorpions and we watched the video to Palisades Park that richard lyons suggested. It was nice to hear the song after so long

it is really a great song

i also am not playing the beach boys song where they say "rolly coaster"

I'm not crying about the Beach Boys song (which I didn't even know about) ;-)

i MIGHT have time for palisades park, MAYBE

I just stole it from Commie, Rob 😊

just tuned in, that last song was great thanks Ben!

Poisoning Pigeons In The Park?

we need to be nice to pigeons

TOM

Ha

Bert knows where it's at

Bert is very wise

I recognized Michael Quercio's singing right way. He hosts a Sunday program on LuxuriaMusic.

thanks for that, I will check out luxuriamusic

This show is excellent! Cheers, DJ CommieFrancis! Now it’ll be a soundtrack for BathBoy! So filthy!

Ha, MrM:D!

Beechwood Park?

am i the only one imagining pigeons wearing bert for mayor t-shirts?

such timing!

ohhhh hellloooo!

✌🏼

Lung Leg, the Scots band, should not be confused with the underground film actress who appears on the cover of Sonic Youth’s “EVOL” album . I saw the band open for Thee Headcoats at Tramps!

☺️

Lung Leg - Thee Headcoats!!!!!!

i totally lost track of park/dark rhymes

I am not in the dark, I'm a dog in the park, pretty soon I will bark

Commie, if you do have time for Palisades Park, 😊😊😊😊

Pete! and once again, Phil Ochs:)

richard, the 80s video was a blast to watch, thanks!

just saying rob don't go to bed yet

Commie, it's not 10 yet, so I'm still here. Plus I still have to wash the dishes, that'll keep me up for a while longer

Rob, amazing cameraperson capturing the concert! An amazing news background, it seems :D

this is a rager

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

dang!

80's romance 🙀

Thank you Commie!

preservan el parque elysian was written by mike kellin! sheesh

Hi Commie! When I was a young wee spotty Mod of 15 or 16 their was a band Merton Parkas named after Merton Park, London, Mick Talbot was a member who later went on to be part of The Style Council with Paul Weller.

oh yeah i have a merton parkas record!

there's a song by red house painters about one of my favorite london parks, brockwell park, but i don't like it

Ahh! Ohh!

So that's why they were named Merton Parkas ...

I suppose the most well known "park" song to me would be Itchycoo Park by the Small Faces.

Hey! I watch birds in Rock Creek Park DC

not a request, but surprised we haven't heard macarthur park

it is about that park! but i'm guessing you do that in the daytime

i do like macarthur park and itchycoo park but they are not happening this time!

Nocturnal Birding is what this song is about, right?!

owlspotting

I do indeed only watch birds in the daytime, though every couple of years some of us try to find owls after dark

DSM *snort* :-)

a show that only uses this drum beat would be interesting

i love this drumbeat

Oh, and I just remembered another song from my youth, A Walk In The Park by The Nick Straker Band, was ingrained in my brain for what seemed like an eternity back then.

i've been compiling a show of common chord progressions for a while but common drumbeats would be fun too

the brickfields were in leeds and are now an actual park btw

LOUD DRUM BEAT!👍

the 'be my baby' beat, it pops up so much! great beat

The version of "MacArthur Park" I most cherish is by Dave Thomas as Richard Harris on SCTV’s “Mel’s Rock Pile”.

I purposely made my way back to my compy to remark on that beat and yall already on it! love it.

Colin!

dsm! looks like we are staying on this hot beat train.

SCTV introduced PLASTICS to NBC viewers when their "Top Secret Man" video aired on “The Gerry Todd Show”.

coincidentally follow the hot beat train is coming up next right here on wprb

bit sctv thread happening today david!

that lie track kinda ruled. gonna look a bit into that.

you will find that it was on a whole label of stuff like that which was copiously pressed and no one cares about currently!

ZUT ALORS!

*looks into my quick future, sees, breakfast with 625 thrashcore

also, belvoir😎

I like this GEM 💎

And the one from WENDY RENE 💗

mrm, that ending!

And for realz, erythang I heard today! Fun timez @Colin!

dear abby, lol. was that the compass that guided society? have we lost our way?

it was probably ann landers

All ways nice hearing the Primitives.

did dr drew wear that crown for a little?

ew no

oh ok. whew. relaxes.

the knowledge gained from a dandelion plant

lol, oops ...is greater than the knowledge gained from dr drew.

THIS

The Primitives, yes!
