Commie Francis (host)

Commie Francis (host)

Commie Francis (host)
3:18:59 PM
i'm annoyed that i never picked a beeper song. i already played the most obvious one (ring ring ring ha ha hey) on another phone show
Commie Francis (host)
3:19:14 PM

I appreciate the process! Stop! Another impressive bunch of songs! Stop! Perfectly on theme! Full stop 🛑
Scooter France
3:31:20 PM
I always think of the Lifetime song "Star Six Nine" with songs about outdated phone stuff. I know that younger people than me got really into Lifetime and their reunion shows have been packed, so I wonder if people think that "Star Six Nine" is some weird poetic reference or something.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀

Dazzle Ships is so amazing.
Commie Francis (host)
3:36:00 PM
ooh *69 would have been a good song to play
richard lyons :)
3:37:20 PM
This is so fun!
Scooter France
3:37:36 PM
I haven't been to any Lifetime reunion shows, but my friend Pat has been to a bunch and he says that twenty somethings all yell along to the the part where the music drops out and someone yells "STAR SIX NINE!" and just wonder if anyone who isn't over forty knows what that means
Commie Francis (host)
3:38:46 PM
hahah do you remember when aus rotten had the song BATF and people thought they were yelling ATM ATM we don't need no atm and someone had to explain to them that a mac machine is called an atm most places?
Scooter France
3:39:51 PM
I remember Mike Wolf holding up his ATM card and yelling "ATM ATM WE DON'T NEED TO ATM!" at Aus Rotten shows in the mid 90s in Pgh.
Commie Francis (host)
3:44:11 PM
yeah i guess no one thought those were the real lyrics but i remember them telling me they didn't get the joke initially because they didn't know what an atm was
Commie Francis (host)
3:46:04 PM
wow this song is messed up!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
3:54:55 PM
DJ CommieFrancis! Tip of the hat 🎩 to you on another finely curated show! Many thanks for the WARSAW! Big cheers and kind regards! 🖤💀🎩
Scooter France
3:55:09 PM
I think that was right in the transition from people saying Mac machine to ATM? I remember in high school calling them Mac Machines, but by the mid nineties I was firmly saying ATM
Scooter France
3:55:29 PM
This was a wonderful show.
richard lyons :)
3:58:22 PM
